Scene 7: Back to the Empty Party
[Dr. L is seated across from Andrea, Mark is absent. The Doc has a bottle of booze in his hand. The stress is killing him.]
Dr. L: So as you can see, I was trapped. She would take away everything I had worked for. My life would be destroyed. (Takes a swig of booze) And after all that she didn’t even get her hands on your inheritance.
Andrea: (After a tense thoughtful moment) Let me get this straight. You had to choose between my mother’s life… space here and your career. Greg, I don’t see much of a compromise in that situation.
Dr. L: Andrea, you don’t understand what it was like –
Andrea: (Raising her voice) No, I think I do understand what it was like. You killed my mother so you could keep your job! This is a human life we’re talking about! Something about this sentence sounded a bit odd to me. I think it was the whole 'human life' bit. My mother’s life!
Dr. L: (Standing up and yelling) Don’t you think I have regretted the moment that I made that choice? It cut me so deep; I’ll never touch another pregnant woman again!
Andrea: Oh poor you! Poor you! You’ll never touch a pregnant woman! Well guess what, Greg? I’ll never know my mothers love. I’ll never hug her, kiss her, or tell her I’m all grown up. (Crying) She won’t see me get married… space here don’t you dare tell me about grief!
Dr. L: (Breaking down) I’m – I’m so sorry Andrea… space I’m sorry! All I feel is guilt, You don't necessarily need this comma. every waking moment! It eats me from the inside… space. I can feel it destroying me! All these years… space againall I’ve ever wanted… and again was forgiveness.
Andrea: (Looks at him incredulously) You have some nerve. (Starts walking away then she turns back) I will never forgive you. I think an exclamation mrk would be suited here.
Dr. L: (Looses it I think that you need to be more specific. Say Looses temper instead of it. , grabbing her by the arm) Please! Please Andrea!
Andrea: let go of me!!
[Mark enters]
Mark: What the hell?!! You dare lay your hands on my fiancé?! (Grabs Greg and begins to fight with him)
Andrea: (Quickly moves away from the fighting men and dials her cell) Hello? Police? I have an intruder in my house.
