37: INT. TOUR BUS NIGHT
CUT TO:
Joe comforts Rachael.
RACHAEL: (crying softly)
JOE: (comes in) Hey Rach. You okay?
RACHAEL: Hi Joe... I'm fine.
JOE: I heard you and Steven talking... Is it true? Are you pregnant?
RACHAEL: (nods sadly)
JOE: Listen Rachael, if there's anything we can do, we're all here for you. (hugs her tightly)
RACHAEL: Thanks Joe.
JOE: We've been talking, we're gonna send Steven back to rehab and we're gonna make sure he gets clean this time.
RACHAEL: I hope he does.
JOE: He will, I promise. And listen, I'm not making excuses for him but you should know, he never hits anyone when he's sober.
RACHAEL: I know...
JOE: (looks deeply into her eyes) (slowly pulls her closer and kisses her)
RACHAEL: (to herself) "Suddenly Joe pulled me closer to him and softly kissed my lips. As wrong as it was, it weirdly felt right, but I knew we couldn't do it." (gently pushes him away) Joe... We can't, I'm with Steven.
JOE: (comes to his senses) I'm sorry Rach... I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
RACHAEL: It's okay. Will you drive me back to the hotel?
JOE: Sure, I just gotta grab my guitar. (gets off)
38: INT. DRESSING ROOM NIGHT
CUT TO:
Joe goes to get Steven.
JOE: (comes in to find Steven passed out) Steven, get up. We're leaving.
STEVEN: (no response)
JOE: (shakes him gently) Steven, come on man, get up.
STEVEN: (still no response)
JOE: Oh shit. (slaps him) Stevie, come on...
39: INT. HOSPITAL NIGHT
DISSOLVE TO:
Steven's been rushed to the hospital.
DOCTOR: Mrs. Tallarico? Hi, your husband is awake.
RACHAEL: Thank God, is he gonna be alright?
DOCTOR: He's going to be fine, but we should look into getting him treatment.
RACHAEL: I agree. Can I see him?
DOCTOR: Of course, right this way. (both go in)
40: INT. HOSPITAL ROOM NIGHT
CUT TO:
Rachael visits Steven.
RACHAEL: (comes in)
STEVEN: (looks at her sadly) Hey.
RACHAEL: Hi... How are you doing?
STEVEN: Okay.
RACHAEL: Good... (sits down) We need to talk Steven.
STEVEN: I know.
RACHAEL: Have you been seeing Cyrinda behind my back?
STEVEN: No, I promise you. She snuck past security and started kissing me. I swear to God.
RACHAEL: (nods) Ok... What about the coke?
STEVEN: (sighs) I had a relapse.
RACHAEL: (sighs) Steven, look at me.
STEVEN: (looks at her)
RACHAEL: You need to hear me on this. I will NOT sit here and watch you die. You're going back to Betty Ford in the morning.
STEVEN: (nods in agreement) I will.
RACHAEL: Thank you.
STEVEN: Rachael, I am so sorry... For everything, I never meant to hurt you... I love you.
RACHAEL: (looks down) I love you too, but I've had it, we've only been married a month and I'm already considering a divorce.
STEVEN: I don't blame you, I've been an asshole. I won't even ask you to stay... What about the baby?
RACHAEL: You need to get clean first before I let you anywhere near our baby.
STEVEN: I understand... What about us?
RACHAEL: Get clean first. Then maybe we can work on fixing us.
STEVEN: Ok... I love you Rachael.
RACHAEL: (gently caresses his cheek) I know you do... I'll see you in the morning. (Slowly gets up and leaves)
