| Alex open the door of his house. ALEX: "Here you are. Your times starts......now. Coffee?" Belle walks in. Alex walks to the kitchen area. BELLE: "I'm, I'm just not ready to be a girlfriend." ALEX: "Shit. No milk. Sorry." BELLE: "Anybody's girlfriend." ALEX: "Or indeed any coffee." BELLE: "I'm a mess....Alex, are you actually listening to anything I'm saying?" ALEX: "Of course. Of course..you're telling me in an, oh, so delightful way that you want to break up with me. The thing is you're not a mess. You're gorgeous." BELLE: "I just---I just don't think it's fair on you to start something and then..." ALEX: "You walk out on me in my hotel room, you run out on me at dinner, you constantly hang up on me. That sounds like a relationship to me." BELLE: "Let's just stop. Let's just be friends." ALEX: "No. I don't want to be friends. I want to do things to you that I don't want to do to my friends." BELLE: "Alex, I can't go out with you." Alex pick up a bottle of whisky. ALEX: "Irish coffee? Except without the coffee, which would technically be whisky." BELLE: "I'm not what you want." ALEX: "You're exactly what I want." BELLE: "I'm not. It's really complicated." ALEX: "I love complicated because it's interesting, it's exciting." BELLE: "I just--I'm not very good at, um, just opening up or sharing. I'm--I'm a very private person." ALEX: "I'm not asking you to tell me things, to divulge your innermost...I mean, Jesus, who really knows everything about anyone? Why would you really want to?" BELLE: "Do you really believe that?" ALEX: "I do. Hannah...we're just starting. Don't run scared already." Alex kisses her. BELLE: "No, don't." ALEX: "Hey. Why?" BELLE: "No, because I'm trying to break up with you." ALEX: "Tough. Tough. Can't always get what you want." They kiss. |
