NATHAN LEE 
Dammit!

He moves halfway across the floor and stop as Rebecca goes to the stove to prepare his coffee ---

REBECCA
We been through these off-seasons before - we made it. 

NATHAN LEE
What we made it to? The next season to work ourselves to death, share croppin' for ol' man Howard, so he can get richer and we can't even eat when the croppin' time is done?

His coffee is ready - she puts it on the table - he moves to it and sits and takes a sip with this frustration still naggin him. She stands over him from behind and puts her hand on this strong neck for a moment and then she moves for the children's room and enters - he drinks his coffee ---

17. INT. REBECCA AND NATHAN"S BEDROOM - NIGHT 17.

Rebecca enters, unrobes and crawls into bed -  she lies there for a while in thought, turns over to position herself and then she hears the back door SLAM. She raises her head for a moment and then she decides to get up. She puts her clothes back on hurriedly and moves out of the room.

18. INT. KITCHEN-SITTING ROOM - NIGHT 18.

Rebecca moves with directness through the room, on out the door to the backyard.

19. EXT. THE BACKYARD - NIGHT 19.

Rebecca stands in the middle of the backyard, looking about in the darkened area.

REBECCA
(softly)
Nathan?

There is not a sound - then she moves hastily around the side of the house to the front yard.
