Capitulation Part II
INT: THE PLANET: DAY
Tina is sitting at the table with Alice and Dana. They are all drinking from coffee cups.
Alice
So, when do you go to the lawyer?
Tina
2:00
Dana
So, as usual. I dont understand what happened.
Alice
Bette totally capitulated.
Dana
Huh?
Tina
Apparently, her lawyer called my lawyer. Bette isnt challenging the divorce and wants it over with as quickly as possible. She is giving me more than half of everything and all of some things. The only thing she asked was to keep the house.
Dana
Whoa. Shes giving you all of some things?
Tina
Yeah, some CDs we had at the bank and a mutual fund. The rest of the accounts will be split in half.
Dana
So, I guess youre happy about this?
Tina
(looks sad)
Im happy that this isnt going to be some long, drawn out, nasty legal battle.
Dana
I mean, about Bette giving in so quickly.
Tina
(turns to look out the window for a few seconds before answering)
I guess she just wants to move on with her life.
Dana
Have you talked to her?
Tina
No, everything came from her attorney to my attorney.
Dana
Have you tried to talk to her?
Alice
Bette isnt exactly talking to anybody these days. She isnt taking calls at work and her cell goes to voice mail.
Dana
Have you gone to the house?
Tina
(looks down and shakes her head softly)
No. (Stands). Ive gotta go. (Exits)
Dana
I cant believe Bette totally capitulated. That is so bad.
Alice
I agree. I mean, capitulation isnt always bad, but in this case it is.
Dana
No, it can be good when people capitulate.
Alice
Wheres Tonya by the way?
Dana
Shopping, probably finding more expensive stuff for when we register.
Alice
Yeah, to capitulate would be bad, wouldnt it?
Dana
(stands abruptly)
Uh, I gotta go to the bathroom.
(she turns and walks toward the restrooms.)
Alice
(sits thoughtfully for a moment and then stands and walks toward the restroom)
INT: THE PLANET: EVENING
Shane is sitting at a table with a cup of coffee. She is once again glancing at a newspaper. Tina approaches.
Tina
Hey, Shane can I join you?
Shane
(puts newspaper on table)
Sure Tina, have a seat (pause as Tina settles in at the table.) So, how did it go?
