INT. GROCERY STORE - DAY Linda is looking at some things on a shelf. She is not paying attention as a WOMAN approaches her. When the woman reaches her side, Linda looks up and smiles at the woman, who does not have a friendly face. WOMAN Are you Linda Corby? LINDA (smiling) Yes...do I know you? WOMAN (snarling) Your sister-in-law, Lillian, told me you are a baby murderer! Suddenly the woman spits in Linda's face. Linda stands still, totally in shock as the woman abruptly turns and walks away. INT. LINDA'S HOUSE - LATE NIGHT Linda is in her nightgown, sitting at the kitchen table. She looks at a couple of empty Brandy bottles on the table. There is note laying there in front of her with a pen laid on top of it along with several pill bottles which are now empty. One of the bottles is toppled over and there are some pills laying beside it. Linda picks up the remaining pills and throws them into her mouth and takes a swig of Brandy to swill them down. She gets up and swaggers to an old settee by the window behind her and collapses, pulling a blanket over her. LINDA (V.O.) (thinking) I didn't kill Benji! How could they think that? I love him! I can't live with anyone thinking that...especially not you. Even the thought that you might think that...is just too much! Linda takes a deep breath and then speaks outloud.
