Depression Sets In

[Dimsmore]

(The scene opens in Lucas Dimsmore’s cabin in the woods of Nesquehoning, PA. Inside, the cabin is in shambles. Couch cushions are in chunks all over the place. Pieces of glass from windows and picture frames are scattered on the floor. As the camera moves thru the dining room, chairs are knocked over, some are missing legs and backs. The dining table is on its side up against the wall. The camera moves thru a rather narrow hallway in to the kitchen and you see Lucas sitting on the floor with his back up against the lower set of cabinets. He looks like his hasn’t bathed in days. In his hand, a picture of himself and Charlotte from about 4 years ago, just after their first wedding anniversary. The picture shows a much happier Dimsmore couple. The scene fades to a flashback with the happy couple arriving in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands at their hotel.)

 

 

Charlotte: Oh my god Luke. This place is amazing.

 

 

(Lucas uses the key card to open the door and turns to face Charlotte. His hair is shorter, barely to the back of his neck. Think goatee but the rest of his face is pretty clean minus some stubble.)

 

 

Lucas: Yeah it is. Then again, just about anywhere beats Nesquehoning.

 

 

(Charlotte chuckles)

 

 

Charlotte: Oh stop…. (She walks over to the window) Hunny, look… We have our own balcony with an amazing view.

 

 

(Lucas walks over to her and looks out as he wraps his arms around her waist from behind her.)

 

 

Lucas: This should be a very interesting second honeymoon Mrs. Dimsmore.

 

 

(As he starts to kiss on her neck, the scene goes back to Lucas in his kitchen. His face turns from no emotion to damn near rage. He slowly rips the picture in half and tosses it into a small waste basket at his feet. He reaches for another photo. This one you see Lucas’s hands holding a newborn baby. As his eyes start to tear up, the scene fades to another flashback about 6 months after their second honeymoon. The Dimsmores’ are rushing into Gnaden Huetten Memorial Hospital. Lucas is pushing Charlotte in a wheelchair as she is already starting her Lamaze breathing. Lucas stops at the nurses station.)

 

 

Lucas: (Talking franticly) EXCUSE ME, MY WIFE’S WATER JUST BROKE!!!

 

 

Nurse 1: Sir, you are gonna have to calm down. (She turns to another nurse behind her) Shannon, I’ll take him to get prepped for the delivery room, You take her to room 225 and call Dr. Crawford STAT.

 

 

(As the nurses take them in separate directions, the scene fades to the next day. Charlotte is in bed holding the newest Dimsmore. There’s a knock at the door.)

 

 

Charlotte: Come in…

 

 

(In walks Lucas with a big bouquet of flowers, which lights up Charlotte’s face like you wouldn’t believe. He sets the flowers down on the night stand.)

 

 

Lucas: How are my two favorite people in the world doing?

 

 

Charlotte: We are doing just fine Dad. I can’t believe she already has a full head of hair.

 

 

Lucas: I know, Can I hold her? (He holds his hands out as Charlotte sits up a little bit.)

 

 

Charlotte: I thought you’d never ask. Because I have to pee like no tomorrow.

 

 

(She hands him the baby then pulls herself out of bed and waddles to the bathroom and closes the door. Lucas walks over to the window and looks out and the early 645am sun rising. Then he looks at his daughter.)

 

 

Lucas: Well, well, well…. Jazmyn Nicole Dimsmore. Welcome to the world.

 

 

(He gently kisses her forehead as the scene goes back to Lucas in the kitchen. A single tear runs down his face as he kisses the photo. Just as he reaches over his head to place the picture on the counter top, the scene fades to the office of Dr. Crawford. He sits on his stool across from the Dimsmore’s. Charlotte is sitting on the edge on the bed in the exam room crying her eyes out. Lucas is standing next to her trying to console her.)

 

 

Dr. Crawford: I’m very sorry, but the cancer spread very quickly and there was nothing we could do.

 

 

Lucas: I understand doc. Do you mind giving us a minute?

 

 

Dr. Crawford: Sure. Take all the time you need. (He exits)

 

 

(Lucas walks around to the front of Charlotte. He raises her head up by lifting her chin. He wipes her tears from her face.)

 

 

Lucas: Listen…. I’m hurting just as much as you are… But you know and I know that we wouldn’t want her to suffer… So it’s for the best…. She in a better place…. And we can always try again soon…

 

 

(As she starts to cry again, they embrace and the scene goes back to the kitchen is now standing over the waste basket with the divorce papers in hand. The longer he looks at the papers, the anger and rage comes over his face more and more. He digs into his pants pocket and pulls out a lighter. He extends his hand with the papers out in front of him and lights the papers on fire. He holds it for a sec then tosses it in the waste basket. He turns around and puts the pic of him holding Jazmyn Nicole in his wallet and puts the wallet back in his pocket. He takes a deep breath and suddenly turns around and kicks the waste basket against the wall. The fire spills out of the basket and catches on the wallpaper. As the fire slowly makes its way up the wall, He makes his way out the back door. The Camera zooms in on his half of the picture as it fades out.)
