We focus on her hand. The fingers are skinny and pale. There
is one ring on her 4th finger. It has a diamond middle with
an off gold band.
ROSIE
(Still resting her hand on Ben's
chest)
Do you think theres more than this?
BEN
(Taking a deep breath)
More than what?
ROSIE
Life.
Ben sighs heavily and turns his body a bit, not looking at
Rosie, but cuddling into her more.
BEN
ROSIE
But what is we were put on this earth
to do something incredible, but our
time was cut short?
BEN
Well, what if we have already done it?
What if just us being born was that
incredible thing?
ROSIE
(Beginning to get seemingly
excited)
Ok well look at us. What if we were
drawn together to change the world?
BEN
How do you mean?
ROSIE
Well, we've known each other for years
now right?
BEN
(Sarcastically)
Yeah... unfortunately
ROSIE
Oi! No, but we've had our ups and
downs. Fallen out... a lot. Yet out of
everyone in my whole life, you're the
one person I always go back to. WE can
never be apart and whenever we make up
it seems we are stronger than ever.
ROSIE
Well... what if theres a reason for
that? Like imagine if we are destined
to discover some sort of alien life
form or the cure for cancer...
BEN
(Interupting)
Or on the other hand we could go on a
mass killing spree and change the
world in that way
ROSIE
Oh! You know what I mean!
She throws herself back on the bed, lying on her back staring
up to the ceiling. She folds her arm as if having a tantrum
BEN
(Softly)
I do know what you mean... Like, I
miss you in different ways than anyone
else. I have other people in my life
but... I don't know. I feel like when
we are together I could do anything. I
feel safe. Maybe I'll never be all the
things I wanna be. You know, maybe I
won't end up changing the world, but
theres one thing thats changed my
world forever...
(Looking at Rosie)
...You.
Ben bops Rosie on the nose, similar to how you would a child.
ROSIE
We see things they'll never see you
know. No one else will ever experience
this version of me. You're the only
one who's been there through
breakups... breakdowns... deaths..
celebrations
(Pauses)
You know me better than I know myself.
BEN
Do you think you'll tell your kids
about me one day? Tell them what a
legend I was?
ROSIE
(Smile fading)
Its weird to think about my kids not
knowing you. Just never thought of my
life without you. How would I even
explain us to them?
BEN
I just wanna live... I don't wanna
die.
ROSIE
Don't worry... you and I are gonna
live forever.
As the pair lay, they turn to look at each other. Ben raises
his hand to Rosie's face. He covers her cheek with his hand,
which has a trail of blood running down it.
We cut to Ben and see him, eyes wide open, covered in blood.
There is a wound on his lobe, one typically associated with a
self inflicted Gun wound. We cut back to Rosie, quickly. She
places her hand on Ben's and as we focus in on her. eyes
tight shut, she lets out a sigh.
As we pan back out, Rosie is alone in the bed. She stays for
a minute, still. Then, turning onto her back, she stares
emotionless, with one tear drop running down her face. We
focus on her face for a while. She remains still.
