Me Before You Page #5

Synopsis: Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they're going to change each other for all time.

Do you know what, Sharon?

You can stick your premier badge

right up your relaxed dining area

okay? okay.

everything's fine.

Great so we're going to

paralyze your eardrums as well, now?

so maybe horse racing

wasn't my best idea.

But this I think you'll enjoy.

So Nathan's never been to a classical music concert, now?

No, I haven't.

Will you please come with me?

I bought the tickets a week ago.

You can say no.

a wind concerto?

I've been assured it doesn't involve farting

There's not chance of Jay-Z?

Sadly, his tickets had just sold out.

Mozart it is then.

okay, would this

be the right sort of thing to wear to a concert?

Metallica no.

Neil Diamond possibly.

I thought Pat was training tonight?

oh no, he is, he is

I'm taking Will to a concert.

sorry, you're going on a date?

it's, it's too 'booby'?

Way too booby!

given it's a man for whom your b*obs are mostly eye level.

Oh! you're SO annoying!

you are SO going on a date with Will Traynor.

Get the red dress out.

really?

Oh, kapow!

Lose the scarf.

The scarf why?

If you are going to wear a dress like that, Clark

You have to wear it with confidence.

Only you, Will Traynor

would tell a woman how to wear a bloody dress

here.

- Am I good?

- Yes.

Yes, yes. ..

Is everything okay?

Actually no, there's something digging into my collar.

its the tag.

have we got any scissors in the bag?

I do not know, Clark.

believe it or not, I rarely

pack it myself.

okay then.

just be grateful that wasn't in your trousers!

look it, they're starting!.

so you're not a classical music person, then?

Yes, I could tell.

especially during that oboe solo.

there was something in my eye.

I loved it.

did you?

yeah.

- Right, we're gonna get you in.

- Wait a minute, Clark.

Are you okay?

I am

I don't want to go in yet.

I just want to be a man who's been to a concert,

with a girl in a red dress.

Just a few minutes more.

So, um

Patrick, wants to meet you.

'Running Man'? Why?

I think he wants to know

who I'm spending all these late nights with.

my parents do too.

I get nervous when I a girl asks me to meet her parents.

They wanted me to invite you to my birthday

dinner next Thursday, but don't worry.

I said you wouldn't want to go.

Why?

because you hate strangers and don't like eating in front of people

it seemed pretty obvious.

I'll come, if you want me to.

ah, lads Welcome!

Bernard Clark.

I am sorry, I didn't, I didn't

a curtsy will be fine.

This is Josie, my wife.

Happy birthday to my girlfriend!

Yes, happy birthday.

- No, only

28 minutes.

So, couldn't you go back to it, Will? I mean, clearly you're

still sharp as a tack.

- Dad!

- No, it's fine.

The truth is that I thought that I could crack this

and then go back as if nothing had changed.

I was wrong.

This is delicious, Mrs. Clark.
