FEBRUARY 18, 1999

Scene 1 - Michelle is taking off her wedding dress. She walks over to Danny. She grabs on to his vest and their heads come close together.

Danny - (very softly) Are you sure? (Michelle nods. They kiss very nicely. Danny kisses her neck. Michelle pulls away)

Danny - What… What…What..

Michelle - I'm sorry

Scene 2 -

Danny-- What.. What's the matter?

Michelle-- I'm sorry, I'm….I'm just tense…It's this day…

Danny-- (Rubbing Michelle's shoulders and arms) Okay…It's okay.. It's okay.. I understand… It's okay..

Michelle-- You do?

Danny-- (Rubbing Michelle's arms) Yeah…I mean this is a…this is a big night. I don't wanna…. I don't want to make you go too fast..at all. (fixing her necklace)

Michelle-- Thank you

Danny-- Yeah… I don't.. This is nothing to be taken casually. I know that this is a big deal for you. It is for me too. I have an idea… I do, Look, I think I can help.

Michelle-- How…How… How's that?

Danny -- To help you relax…you know.. to get rid of some of that tension… Sit down…Come on, I won't bite..

Danny - (whispering) Just relax…Just relax. I won't do anything to rush you. Okay? (kisses her head) We have all the time in the world. This is just the beginning for us.. as husband and wife.

Scene 3 - Michelle is lying on the bed. Danny is kneeling beside her. He is rubbing her back slowly.

Danny -- That's better. (taking the barette our of her hair) Hey, remember that, uh, that day that we had to go meet with Father Tomas, for our Pre-canna. We had to talk about all the things that we want in a marriage.

Michelle - Mmhmm… What about it?

Danny -You looked so miserable. (he pinches her ear playfully) You practically had your fingers crossed and your toes. (touches her feet)

Michelle- Seems like a long time ago.

Danny- I know… I know. You thought that you hated me. I know… but then you realized that we want the same things. That our dreams are pretty much the same.

Michelle- Danny….

Danny- No… wait.. Let me finish…let me finish. You know I thought…I was starting to think that we were not going to make it. That together, there was no way we were going to have the kind of marriage we both wanted. With us at each other's throats all the time… I figured we were just doomed… You know doomed to go through the motions for the rest of our lives… But today… today… something changed. We said our vows…. I don't know. I saw something different in you.. I felt it.. I think you did too. And when we kissed….. You kissed me back… it was real. And I thought….well maybe we're going to be okay… you know…maybe things are going to work out…..And maybe out dreams can really come true.

(Danny starts kissing Michelle's back… Little kisses that trail up her back to her neck…her ear. He turns her over and sees her hesitation.)

Scene 4 - Drew is at Millenium with Ray. ( Middle of scene…) The phone rings.

Drew- Hello?

Michelle- Drew…this is terrible…I can't even believe what just happened.

Drew- Hold on. (turns to Ray) Ray, Father.. Would you please excuse me?

Ray- I'm going to go take a look around.

Drew- Hello?

Michelle- We were in the bedroom… and it.. started to get romantic.

Drew- Did you do it?

Michelle- No, not at all. Drew he was so sweet. He just kept talking about his feelings for me… Oh, I felt so guilty..

Drew- Then your not going to like what I did.

Michelle- What did you do?

Drew- I called the Feds. I… I told them that you were in way over your head, Michelle.

Michelle- What? What are they going to do?

Drew- I was so worried about you Michelle. I didn't know what would happen. I knew you would do it and I didn't know what Danny would do.

Michelle- Great….Thanks for the vote of confidence, Drew.

Drew- I…. I'm sorry.

Michelle- Alright… I'd better go

Drew- Okay, Call me!

(they hang up)

Michelle- (talking to herself) I have got to do something or everything that I have planned is going to go up in flames.

 

Scene 5 -- Danny walks in the bedroom and sees Michelle's suitcase on the bed. Michelle is carrying clothes to the bed

Michelle - Danny…Listen… Um

Danny - No… Listen.. No .. Look, I'm sorry… okay…Forget it. Look, I'm going to sleep on the floor… And God knows I'm used to it so just forget it.

Michelle - Your wrong about what happened her, okay?

Danny - No, I'm…. I am wrong…. Your right…. I'm wrong… I was very wrong to think that you cared about me… But, It's okay.

Michelle - I.. I do care about you! Okay…. Maybe its this house, maybe its your mother, the guys with the guns…. But I…

Danny - Michelle, this is your home…. It's your home now… You don't.. You don't need to be afraid.

Michelle - Can't we just go somewhere special for our wedding night? You know, I mean I really think that we should get out of here.

Danny - No.. we can't… We can't go anywhere. Not.. not now. It's too late… It's fine.

Michelle - Why? This could be exactly what we need.

(they hear a commotion outside the bedroom)

FBI agents- Out of the way, Out of the way. Open the door man, Open the door.

Dietz - You're not going in there.

(Danny opens the door)

Danny- What is going on here?

(FBI barge in room)

Dietz- I'm sorry about this Danny.

Danny - Excuse me… Guys.. This is… come on.. What do you think you guys are barging in here. This is….This is my wedding night.

FBI agent #1- Agent Conclin…..Agent Daniels.. FBI
