How about we add that the cop, while in pursuit, had drawn his weapon and when the driver put the car in reverse and he felt himself being knocked down by the open door, he discharged his weapon accidentally? Does that fit in your drama?
So there are some parallels there, and the third wife wears the same violet/purple lipstick......... drama, drama, drama ~ regular psycho drama!!!
He blacks out at the end of that court scene and wakes up with no shoes and no car ~ BTW, that's judge judy turning these women loose on him!
fellow I know was stripped of everything but a lawn chair and a portable miniature black and white TV in a Chicago divorce court. Said he's never going back to that state ~ won't even transfer at O'hare ~ ol'gal's got some stuff still going on there.
I got a mountain of REAL LIFE material like that for this flashback scene ~ thank goodness none of it my own, but there are guys out there who really get run through the ringer
