HENRY'S DAUGHTERS by Paul Martin Great Projects Film Company 594 9th Avenue, 2cd Floor New York NY 10036 212 581 1700 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 1 of 25 1 MONTAGE OF PHOTOS 1 2 EXT. HENRY’S BOAT’S BRIDGE, DAY 2 N ARRATOR #2 This is Henry. He’s done well for himself - first as a professional engineer and now as a semi - retired lobbyist for a select group of transportation companies. He lost his wife, the mother of his two daughters, to a heart attack when she was just fifty -five. 3 INT. STATE DOT, DAY 3 NARRATOR #2 This is his elder daughter Laura. She’s close to her dad. She’s an engineer, with her professional engineer ’s license, for the state department of transportation. The gossip at the DOT is that her quick rise has had more to do with her father ’s connections than her skills. 4 INT. TEST GARAGE, DAY 4 NARRATOR #2 This is Julie. She is eleven years younger than her sister. Henry tends to coddle her. Following the family into engineering by recently completing her degree, Julie has accepted a ye ar-long contract with OUTOCAR. She’s going to be living with her sister while working at her first job. 5 EXT. HENRY’S BOAT, DAY 5 NARRATOR #2 This, then, is the story of Henry and his daughters and the complications that arise as they all work - at different levels, on different tasks, and for different people - on the same project. 6 EXT. HENRY’S BOAT’S BRIDGE, SUNSET 6 BOB Okay, guys. You’ve wined me and dined me. We’ve gone fishing. Now, tell me about this half - baked pipe dream of yours. HENRY Ta ke a look. Let’s say you’re cruising the Caribbean and you want to go to St. Croix. You click here. You g o to bed and the boat will take you there while you sleep.

BOB That’s it? What about other boats? Bad weather? Places to avoid?

JEFF The boat has bow and stern, port and starboard sensors, depth sensor, wind sensors, GPS, and two different kinds of weather radar all hooked into a sophisticated, redundant computer system. BOB This boat can do all that? Right now .

HENRY Oh, y es. This is the GUIDEME d a Gama oh two. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 2 of 25 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 3 of 25 JEFF Instead of water, it’s roads. Instead of boats, it’s autonomous cars, trucks, and buses. HENRY No more driving. No more traffic jams. JEFF We‘re calling it SANSHANDS. Flow will be adjusted to weather and volume. No more accidents ; no more deaths.

HENRY It’s a quantum productivity boost for the entire economy. Progress with a capital “P” my friend. BOB Wow. Hey guys, I’m a lowly state senator ; what can I do to make this happen? JEFF Well, Senator, we could use your help with ap propriations ; carving off a piece of the federal pie that you’ve got coming to the state DOT to fund a R&D competition. BOB A competition? Why a competition? JEFF To funnel the project to Henry’s client, GUIDEME. BOB Well, if it's not a real competition, what’s in it for me? I mean, it seems like the fix is in. HENRY It's a non- zero sum game; everybody benefits . It’s a win -win -win. Bob, t he transportation industry needs a shot in the arm. It needs a champion. We’re ready to back a champion. JEFF The DOT gets involved in some ground- breaking stuff, and there’s some sexy futuristic video for your campaign commercials when it comes time to run... HENRY …for Governor. BOB (voice over) I’m sure I speak for every member of this senate ethics commission w hen I express my deep admiration for the testimony th at you ’re about to offer. 7 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 7 LAURA Well, that’s very kind of you, Senator, but I’m just doing what ’s expected of me by my profession. One of the things that makes i t a profession is that there is a code we engineers are expected to follow. Kind of like the oath you take when you assume office. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 4 of 25 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 5 of 25 BOB (Ahem). This senate ethics commission has been formed to investigate the SANSHANDS project for ethical misconduct an d possible criminal violations. You’re here to offer your testimony. LAURA I’ll do my best, that was four years ago. BOB For the record, I would like to state that you have been offered and accepted immunity from prosecution. Is that the case? LAURA Yes . Offered , not requested. BOB These allegations have been raised by OUTOCAR. You’ve heard of them .

LAURA Of course . Yes. 8 INT. STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, PRESS ROOM 8 BOB (voice over) It has been alleged by OUTOCAR executives that the project you oversaw has been rife with corruption from its very inception. JEFF There will be a time that we look back at the act of driving ourselves as dangerous, perhaps needlessly reckless, and as old-fashioned as riding a horse. So today, the SANSHANDS P roject is awarding two, one -year, four -million dollar development grants for the creation of the initial specifications for the automated roads of the future. Now these winners, who have been chosen from over twenty applicants, will be work ing with a DOT t eam of engineers spearheading the initiative. The two companies we announce today will be competing for a twenty five million dollar contract to implement their initial designs. And, in about a year, the winner will be chosen by the DOT’s internal review. Now, t he two organizations being awarded SANSHANDS development grants are: GUIDEME, an internationally renowned technology company specializing in transportation infrastructure. And, we are proud and excited to say, OUTOCAR, a local start -up company rec ently founded by engineer s from the state university in partnership with the University’s Business Incubator. 9 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 9 BOB Would you please describe for the commission the process by which the two companies, GUIDEME and OUT OCAR, came to be selected?

LAURA That occurred before my involvement. Both companies were selected before me and my team were brought on board. You actually may know a little more about that than I. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 6 of 25 10 INT. STATE DOT CONFERENCE ROOM, DAY 10 WARREN I h ate these things... MARTY You a re a dinosaur. WARREN You can never get it to fit... MARTY Look at the…what….are those your hands? Look at the size…w hat are you the missing link? WARREN Hey, easy .

MARTY Okay, Sasquatch…we’ve only got one of these, huh? WARREN Just put up the right slide. JEFF Okay, so w ho are these people? And why am I here? LAURA Well, that’s Barry . He’s the project lead for OUTOCAR - the one you were so impressed with . And we’re here to download time lines, and specifications, budgets… .

JEFF I don’t need to be here.

LAURA Well, y ou were here for GUIDE -…y ou’re not going to give these people a chance, are you? That’s why you put Warren and Marty on the OUTOCAR team and Vik and Cho on my GUIDEME team . This is already a done deal. JEFF What do you want me to say? Trust me, the less you know the better. LAURA Just tell me you’re not wasting my time, their time , and the state’s money. JEFF Look, I’m not wasting anybody ’s time or money. Everybody is getting paid for their ideas .

LAURA Yeah, but you’re giving them the impression that they’re in competition for the bigger prize. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 7 of 25 JEFF Look, it’s not just about the specs , it’s who can take those specs to the next level. It’s about a full design. LAURA Would you at least come me et my little sister, Julie? Dad pulled some strings get ting her on the OUTOCAR team. JEFF Yes. Your father is a master puppeteer. So you are Laura’s sister?

JULIE Oh, y es sir. JEFF Your father has told me so much about you. And I must say that you ar e prettier than your pictures! LAURA Julie, this is Jeff, my boss , so watch what you say. He’s the chief engineer at the DOT and Dad’s fishing buddy. JEFF Your dad, one heckuva guy. JULIE I often hear that. I’d like to ...

LAURA Oh, uh, this is Barry. ..

JEFF Barry , let me tell you something . If this young woman right here is half as good as her older sister, well you ’ve got yourself one heckuva engineer. Put her to work. Hey guys, keep up the good work. BOB (voice over) There have been allegations that the contest was rigged from the very beginning.

11 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 11 LAURA Not in my mind, no. BOB No conversations to that effect? LAURA I raised concerns that there wasn’t necessarily a level playing field . That GUIDEME had significantly more resources. That it wasn’t necessarily a fair competition. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 8 of 25 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 9 of 25 BOB Did you ever stop to think that maybe “I shouldn’t be doing this”? N ot necessarily because you were going to be here today, but because it’s wrong?

LAURA No, because I didn’t do anything wrong. Nor did any of the people working for me. BOB But in the end... LAURA In the end, I kept an open mind and made an informed decision based on the facts . The facts influenced my decision... nothing else. BOB Oh, the fact that your father might gain financially if GUIDEME was selected. LAURA As did you. BOB I’m sorry I didn’t hear that response. LAURA My decision was based on the facts. Period.

12 INT. TEST GARAGE, DAY 12 MARTY Warren…. Warren...Warren, th is cable is crimped. WARREN Yeah, but t he book says... MARTY The book …the book. Will you just use your eyes and what brain evolution gave you?

BARRY I could help... MARTY It is our duty as DOT engineers to install all test monitoring equipment. BARRY I know the car pretty well. MARTY And w hen we’re done, so will we. BARRY HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 10 of 25 If there is anything left...

MARTY Let me at it. BARRY These two guys are truly unique. JULIE I don’t know what it says about my sister, but she told me that the people that they put on “special projects” are the ones that nobody else wants, but they can’t get rid of them. WARREN Make sure the polarity is correct before you insert the plug or you’ll... short out the power supply! MARTY Th is connector needs upgrading. BARRY These are military grad e, the same ones they use in Black Hawk helicopters. MARTY Well, that may be , bu t I’d still be afraid to go up in one, huh? Hey, i f you force it and it breaks it needed fixing anyway. Murphy’s Law. WARREN That’s not engineering, that‘s a saying.

13 IN T. BOB’S SENATE OFFICE, DAY 13 BOB (reading to himself) “ Bob, wanted you to know how much my colleagues in the transportation industry appreciate your support. Keep up the good work…Henry .” Well, well, well. BOB Your father has lot s of connections. 14 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 14 LAURA He knows a lot of people. He has a lot of friends. He woul d say you’re one of them. BOB That’s very kind, but wouldn’t you agree that he gets people to do things for him? LAURA He’s known for doing favors for others , too. Check your campaign donors list. BOB Like getting kids into expensive colleges on free rides. LAURA HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 11 of 25 Until recently, I didn’t know anything about that. 15 INT. SUNNY HALLWAY OUTSIDE JEFF’S OFFICE, DAY 15 JEFF Look, Henry, when I asked you to talk with the dean of the engineering school, all I was hoping for is that you’d give my son a good recommendation. 16 INT. BOAT, DAY 16 HENRY Hey, w hat’s the point of having contacts in important places if you are not going to use them? I graduated with the Dean. He respects my opinion. 17 INT. SUNNY HALLWAY OUTSIDE JEFF’S OFFICE, DAY 17 JEFF It’s a full ride at a private university. 18 INT. BOAT, DAY 18 HENRY Say, Jeff, might be a good idea for us to keep this between you and me. You know w e don’t want prying eyes and ears making something out of nothing. Say, still good for Saturday? You know I have that GUIDEME luxury sky suite at the ball game. Good. Oh, a nd bring the kid along too , I’d like to meet him. 19 INT. LAURA’S APARTMENT, NIGHT 19 LAURA Hey, you’re home late. JULIE Oh, t he outer beltway was jammed. Tonight would have been the perfect night for an autonomous car system .

LAURA Yeah, there was a pig truck that overturned; pigs were running all over the highway .

JULIE I’ll talk to Barry tomorrow and see if we can develop a “farm animal running wild” sensor. What are you working on?

LAURA Oh, t he GUIDEME folks gave us this computer program that models traffic flow. It is way cool. Here, c heck it out. You can actually change the model based on different levels, like speed, weather, traffic flow, pig truck accidents...

JULIE Ah. Of course, it demonstrates how their central server system is better than our autonomous car. LAURA Ew, perhaps I shouldn’t have shown you. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 12 of 25 JULIE Oh, it doesn’t matter. We’re working on something very similar . I... we just haven’t worked out all the bugs yet. LAURA Mmm. .k ind of like your connectors? JULIE Who told you?

LAURA Marty . He said it snapped in his hand. JULIE He had a giant pair of pl iers! If h e ’d spent paid less time ogling me and...

LAURA Say what?

JULIE When I got out from under neath the car, I see Barry and Marty standing there clearly checking out my tattoo. LAURA Oh, no no no, no no no no. I will put a stop to that. JULIE No , don’t say anything. Look, Marty’s a jerk and I don’t want to start any problems. I’ll just start dressing like my dowdy older sister. 20 INT. STATE DOT CONFERENCE ROOM, DAY 20 LAURA Fellas. I, uh, understand there’s been a little bit of an ogling si tuation. Yeah, that should not have happened. Let’s try and show a little more respect, huh? Thank you. MARTY Hey, I was just trying to see what it was a tattoo of. Why would she have a tattoo if she didn’t want anybody to look at it, huh ?

21 INT. MONT AGE CAR SCENES, DAY 21 22 INT. TEST GARAGE, DAY 22 BARRY What are you working on? JULIE Oh, a bout a month ago, Laura showed me a multivariable dynamical system model that GUIDEME did, and I’ve been trying to find the time to do something similar. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 13 of 25 BARRY Do you know what you’re doing? JULIE Yeah, definitely .

BARRY This is a team. You don’t have to try to solve problems yourself. JULIE I know. BARRY I could stay and help. Or we could grab some dinner and, um, you could tell me your idea. JULIE Isn’t y our wife out of town?

BARRY Yeah, that’s why I offered. JULIE I won’t be much longer. I just want to get these parameters laid out. Then you can decide in your team meeting if you want to forward it on to the programmers. BARRY Call me if you want compa ny.

24 EXT. BOAT DOCK, DAY 24 JEFF It’s looking really good. Vik and Cho have completed their report on GUIDEME. It looks solid. HENRY How is, uh….how is Julie doing? Have you heard? JEFF Well, Laura mentioned the other day that she’d been real integral to actually writing the specifications. But it ’s funny. HENRY Funny --how so?

JEFF Well, you know how yours is all tied up and submitted? Well, those guys are treating it like it’s a college project - working three shifts, coming in every morning with new modifications.

HENRY Uh, I uh...s poke to the -powers -that -be at GUIDEME about you. JEFF Oh? HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 14 of 25 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 15 of 25 HENRY Yeah, you know once we get into the actual design contract, we’re gonna need somebody to be our national technical liaison. JEFF That’s perfect timi ng -- I’ll be able to retire with full benefit s and pension and go to work for GUIDEME. Yeah. Thanks Henry. 25 INT. MONTAGE CAR SCENES, DAY 25 JEFF We’ll get it to you, all right? Thanks for coming by. LAURA Who was that? JEFF Captain, State Police. LAURA What did he want? Can you tell me?

JEFF Something about you being a fugitive. No, he was interested in the biometrics and other data we get out of GUIDEME. LAURA Oh, l ike for accident reconstruction? JEFF That’s a good idea, but no. No, m ore for tracking people, you know - child abductions, listening in on conversations in the car. Law enforcement stuff like that. LAURA Oh. JEFF I told him to contact you for more details. He said he had your number.

LAURA Very funny. JEFF No, really. INT . LAURA’S APARTMENT, NIGHT JULIE Hello. You’re home early. You sick?

LAURA HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 16 of 25 No just disgusted.

JULIE Me too. Why? What happened? LAURA Uh, uh..y ou first. Yum. This is what the doctor ordered. JULIE You know that program we gave you that models the var iables using our OUTOCAR system -- like the GUIDEME one? LAURA Oh yeah, i t works well.

JULIE Well, after I saw their s I took it upon myself to work that up. LAURA I thought y ou said you already had one in the works. JULIE Well, we didn’t. So I set up the parameters and Barry gave it to programming team. LAURA And? JULIE Today, I found out that Barry, that married snake, submitted it as his as part of his thesis for his PhD. And, of course, my contribution was completely unmentioned. LAURA When I met with him today so that he could submit the plan that you put together , he actually asked me to recommend him to Dad for a job on GUIDEME.

JULIE Are you going to? LAURA You know, I ’ve got ta tell you the submission was topnotch. You guys did excellent w ork. But, uh, no.

JULIE Good. Yum, this cake tastes even better with revenge sprinkled on top.

LAURA The Barry is toast. JULIE So what was your day like?

LAURA HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 17 of 25 Oh. Jeff had a meeting with a captain of the state police. JULIE About? LAURA About how the GUIDEME system can be used to track people, spy on them, and listen to their conversations without their knowledge. 26 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 26 BOB Part of the allegations against DOT and GUIDEME was that intellectual property was not being adequately protected. LAURA I don’t know about that. I had a team of four engineers. T wo were devoted to each project, GUIDEME and OUTOCAR, to ensure that no proprietary information was being breached during the development process . But once it ca me time for the final analysis, we put it all on the table. BOB Oh, s o there was a point in the process when the fire wall between the two systems – OUTOCAR and GUIDEME - was breached. And the proprietary property was exposed. LAURA Everyone was being pa id for their ideas. Okay, w e were tasked with reviewing both systems and deciding which one was the best, between the one or the other, and who should design the final system -- with whatever improvements and enhancements we discovered along the way. 27 INT. STATE DOT CONFERENCE ROOM, DAY 27 WARREN Reliability and safety: they are both pretty close. Maybe OUTOCAR has a slight edge because of their simplicity. That last month they came up with some very impressive advances and modifications. LAURA All right. So, do we recommend an affordable system that meets our specifications – which is OUTOCAR -- or do we go with a system that provides for future, as yet, undefined improvements at a significantly greater cost – which is GUIDEME? MARTY Seems to me, you want to recommend as much functionality as you can to avoid it being obsolete before it ’s ever used. LAURA The risk is: the perfect system that we can’t afford is no system at all. I mean, a limited system that we can afford is a step forward. JEFF HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 18 of 25 Folks, political realities rule. We might as well recommend what the senate wants - GUIDEME - rather than disappointing them - by recommending OUTOCAR – which would then make them go through the whole process once again. So why stand in their way?

LAURA Because m any other states have other political financial realities. JEFF That is their issue. WARREN I kind of disagree. I think it’s all of our issue . I mean, not having access to game -changing technology doesn’t just inconvenience people... it puts them at a serious disadvantage. MARTY So does inferior technology . Now the future is getting closer all the time and by the time this thing passes through all the regulatory hoops, OUTOCAR will be so antiquated as to not be worth installing. WARREN That is a dangerous attitude. And one that you don’t have any evidence to support. 30 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 30 BOB So, are you close with your father? LAURA With all due respect, s ir, that’s a stupid question. Yes, I am close to my father. BOB So you knew he worked for GUIDEME? LAURA I knew GUIDEME was a client of his. One of many. An important one. BOB Did you ever share any inside information about the competition with him? LAURA No sir. BOB Turn to him for advice?

LAURA I don’t bel ieve I ever discussed SANSHANDS with him until my recommendation was formalized and submitted.

31 INT. BOAT, DAY 31 LAURA HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 19 of 25 I don’t know how much I can say, Dad. We analyzed everything, okay? I nitial infrastructure, consumer outlay, maintenance, reliability, sustainability , life -cycle costs. I summarized my findings , I gave them to Jeff earlier in the week , and now he needs to meet with the commissioner to prepare a report for the senate. HENRY Well, if you’re really that far along, there’s nothing I can do to influence the decision. LAURA Oh, contraire, Father dear, there is always time and opportunity for you to influence decision- makers, especially Jeff. JULIE Come on Laura, Daddy’s right. It’s out of your hands now. We’ll keep it in the family un til it’s announced. LAURA My recommendation was that we go with the OUTOCAR system.

JULIE Yes! LAURA Because I felt an affordable, open architecture system would be the best way to move the technology forward. It wasn’t just about the engineering . We had to take everything into account, including the financial …too expensive of a system just makes it too difficult for other states to adopt. JULIE OUTOCAR has projected lower maintenance, sustainability, and life cycle costs too. HENRY But w hat about pe rformance though?

LAURA OUTOCAR meets or exceeds, based on the computer models, all of our benchmarks. HENRY Maybe you’re setting the bar too low. GUIDEME is significantly better than OUTOCAR on each benchmark. LAURA I don’t know how you know that. Ye ah, everything except safety. We actually rated OUTOCAR slightly safer , although there was some questioning of the data. JULIE Well, and then there’ the big brother s issue. HENRY The what? JULIE HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 20 of 25 You know from that book... When I’m 64.

HENRY What…what… what…what is she talking about? LAURA She means Orwell’s 1984. And it's Big Brother not Brothers. HENRY Sweetie, I guess Tech’s English lit department isn’t what it once was. JULIE Hey! LAURA The iconic figure of governmental authority that Orwell cre ated, even in the minds of people who haven’t read the book, is actually translating into a very real fear for people. People have significant concerns about their privacy , their civil liberties. With GUIDEME that was an issue. HENRY Almost every new tec hnology has the potential for that kind of misuse. JULIE But GUIDEME’s bandwidth will allow for two -way voice communication, and will give the government the ability to track people wherever they go, and listen to their private conversations. HENRY Oh, a nd just h ow do you know that? JULIE She told me. HENRY That’s proprietary information, ya know. Don’t you go spreading that around young lady. Anyway, it’s not the technology , it’s the people who regulate it set limits. JULIE That’s exactly what we ’re afraid of. Wait, t hen who did write “When I’m 64?” 32 INT. JEFF’S OFFICE, DAY 32 LAURA And you were going to tell me when? JEFF What?

LAURA That the commissioner selected GUIDEME over our recommendation of OUTOCAR. JEFF HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 21 of 25 It’s a political world, Laura. A nd the commissioner is a political player. Look, not all decisions are based on engineering factors. HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 22 of 25 LAURA I know that. JEFF Well t hen, I don’t understand what you’re so upset about . You’ve had your recommendations rejected before . It’s part of y our job.

LAURA So what was the trump card? JEFF The law enforcement aspects. LAURA Father! So it really was rigged all along.

JEFF Don’t ask questions that you really don’t want to know the answers to. Laura, don’t rock the boat on this one. It’s far too political. There’s a directorship opening up next year in highway construction . It might be a good move for you.

LAURA Well, if that’s anything like this one, I don’t think I have what it takes for that job. JEFF Look, nobody questions your abilit y, but to move out of Special P rojects, you need to be one of the guys, someone who is willing to get along. Easy on the door.

33 EXT. HENRY’S BOAT DOCK, DAY 33 HENRY Laura, what a nice surprise! LAURA Daddy, you used me. HENRY What?

LAURA Not only w as it not nice, it was callous. It was unethical, it was quite possibly illegal. You put me in a very bad position .

HENRY Laura, come aboard and we’ll talk. LAURA No, SANSHANDS was rigged from the very beginning. Y ou wasted a year of my life and I don’t know how much money on... HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 23 of 25 HENRY Laura! Laura, honey, it’s just normal business. LAURA No. It’s not. It’s corrupt. And you should know better.

HENRY Laura, let me…. BOB (voice over) Why do you think the contract was awarded to GUIDEME to design SANSHANDS if your recommendation was the opposite? 34 INT. STATE SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 34 LAURA Frankly, Senator, GUIDEME was selected because the system is corrupt and lobbyist money and influence are to blame. BOB Those are some very harsh accusations. Might you have something to back it up? LAURA Actually, I do. I would like to tender to the commission a copy of my father’s journal detailing all conversations and expenditures relat ing to the GUIDEME and SANSHANDS project. He recently gave it to me after a long and heated discussion about the ethical responsibilities all engineers share. I think you’ll find it very interest ing reading Senator, as your name appears in it quite frequently . I’ve already tendered the original to the State Attorney General for her review. 35 INT. CORRIDOR, SENATE MEETING ROOM, DAY 35 LAURA You’re up. HENRY Laura, honey. Your Dad’s going to pay a heavy price for just doing normal business. LAURA I don’t think I would try to make that my defense, Dad, now that the journal has been entered into evidence. Look, i f you don’t tell the truth, you’re only gonna make it worse. HENRY Daughter. I realize that what got me into this situation is nothing you did. What got me here is what I did. But I am going to lose a lot: even my engineering license... and the boat.

JULIE Better to lose your third daughter than the respect of your first two.

36 CREDITS: 36 NARRATOR #2 HENRY’S DAUGHTERS SCRIPT – Version 7.0 - Page 24 of 25 Henry was indicted by the Attorney General on various charges ; bribery of a state official being the wor st.
