Me Before You Page #6

I know exactly how it feels to be in that little square.

I remember every sensation.

I do not want those memories erased,

by the struggle to fit behind a table.

the taxi drivers, who refuse to take me.

and my wheelchair power pack that

won't charge in a French socket.

But I tell you where we will go, though.

Where?

Alicia's wedding.

really?

Will you come with me?

If you want me to.

Hello?

Whoa! Jesus Mum, hello!

is it too much? Oh, sod it, I don't care!

We are celebrating Lou!

I've got a job!

Oh Dad, that is fantastic!

You are looking

at the new head of maintenance

at the castle.

- God, that is

- I know, I know.

Mr. Traynor rang me himself.

I'm starting tomorrow morning.

a month's trial.

Isn't it brilliant?

and it's good money, Lou.

and he get's his own van.

- see you.

- okay.

But I thought you would be pleased.

No, I am, I am pleased.

I just, I dont know, I feel weird.

Well, don't.

Your dad needed a job and I needed a head of maintenance

Yes, but it is the timing, it's just a bit

it's good.

Your dad will be great.

And, it means

it means what?

it means

that one day, you can go off and spread your wings

without worrying about everyone else.

Put yourself first, for once.

Hello.

Michael Lawler.

I'm here to see Mr Traynor.

ah, no no, you've got the wrong door.

- he lives in the

- it's okay, Clark.

How was traffic Michael?

y'know, once you're out of London

We'll sit in the courtyard.

You can leave us, thanks Clark.

- How have you been?

- Well, thank you.

I thought he seemed happier, he was smiling, laughing.

Me, too.

Thank you, for telling me.

- yeah?

You will look after him at the wedding, won't you?

I still dont know why we're doing this.

We going to behave, admirably.

Just so you know

that if you do the "My Left Foot" thing

I will drive home and leave you stuck here

With all your ex-girlfriends.

spoil sport.

Will, hi.

It's so good to see you again.

The office is not the same without you.

One minute you were there, running everything and everyone.

And the next

Well, it's, uh, not the same.

It's kind of you to say so, Freddie.

Louisa Clark, Freddie Foster.

Yes, yes, I saw you at the church.

Life isn't all bad then, eh, will.i.am!

anyway, anyway, must mingle.

What a pleasure to see you.

And you, Miss Clark.

He's a nice guy.

He fancies you.

He needs glasses.

Don't do that.

You look beautiful.

Well, you don't look so shabby yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you, the bride and groom,

Mr and Mrs Rupert Collins!

Whoa God!

There ought to be a law against Englishmen on dance floors.

- Bride or Groom?

- oh, neither.

and you?

Godmother to the bride.

What makes me morally responsible for her.

not one of my finer acts.

ooh, you don't think much of her then?

This is a bit depressing!

Still, I can't do these things, sober.

Oh no, wait, there's alcohol in this stuff?

Absolutely, darling

And I firmly encourage you to get as drunk

as possible.

I hear rumors that the father of the bride

is going to inflict another speech on us

Oh, no no no!

I'm supposed to be driving Will home.

Ah yes, young Will.

He was her chance, you know.

only one of that lot, that was worth a damn.

terrible shame.

He is not dead.

no I mean for her, not for him.

Rupert's an a**hole.

You take care of him,

He's a good one

Take it from one who knows

Four marriages and counting.

Thank you so much for coming, Will.

It was a lovely day,

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

- You remember Louisa?

- Oh yeah, yes, yes.

Anyway, you're a real star for being here.

And thank you for

- the um, um

- the mirror

Yes, the mirror. absolutely love that mirror.

Anyway, thank you.

You didn't buy her a mirror!

I know.

okay, you

What do you say, you gonna give me a whirl?

What?

How many of those did you drink?

C'mon!

Let's give these tossers something to talk about.

alright.

Are they all appalled?

Yes.

Yes!

Move closer?

You smell fantastic.

You know,

you never would have let those breasts so near to me,

if I wasn't in a wheelchair.

Yes, well

you never would have been lookin' at these breasts,

if you hadn't been in a wheelchair.

- of course I would!

- No, you wouldn't.

You wouldn't.

You would have been too busy looking at the leggy blondes

The ones who can smell an expense account at 40 paces.

and anyway, I would have been over there

serving the drinks,

One of the invisibles.

Am I right?

Yes, but in my defense

- I was an ass.

- Yup.

Do you know something, Clark?

You are pretty much

The only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning.

Then let's go somewhere!

anywhere in the world, just you and me

What do you say?

Say yes, Will!

Go on.

- okay

- yeah?

I can't handle this very well you know that.

Look out, Will!

Oh my God!

Why didn't you return any of my calls?

I was worried sick. Are you okay?

I am old enough to spend

The night in a hotel without permission, mother.

okay?

okay.

Right.

I'm guessing she didn't do your tubes?

she did manage to get the portal down me, in the bed.

This is not good, mate. You are sweating.

Look at me, how's your eyesight?

I'm pretty sure you're Nathan, am I right?

and I'm pretty sure you've been on the drink.

Eh, am I right?

- I will be fine.

- Jesus, Will

We had a nice time.

What?

I'm not coming

to extreme, whatever it is called, Norway.

They need me at work.

But you said you'd support me!

I am supporting you, Patrick

I hate cycling and you know I do!

But there's this trip I've got to go on, with Will.

Why can't he just get an agency nurse?

Because it is my job!

What is this Lou?

Your job, it takes priority over everything these days!

Patrick, this is important, okay?

- trust me.

- it's Norway!

It's meant to be a holiday.

I just can't.

Oh, Pat!

He's stable.

Pneumonia?

He only had cough on Saturday morning.

His lungs are weak.

Any bacteria hits him hard.

Can I go in?

No, Camillas with him.

Let's leave her to it.

It's his fourth bout in two years.

The last nearly killed him.

Thank you.

How he doing?

He's a little better, I think.

Would you like me to take over for a while?

I would really like to change my clothes.

Yeah.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

I've been better.

I dont know,

you'll do anything for attention, Will Traynor.

I don't think I can be witty today, Clark.

Hey.

Just dropping off some meds for when he gets back.

Are you alright?

Yes, just um, cancelling everything.

You know, don't you?

yeah

I've been with him two years.

His life is hard.

He hides his pain, when he's with you.

But there have been times when I've stayed over.

And I hear him screaming.

In his dreams he's still running or skiing.

still doing things and..

Then he wakes up

And there is nothing I can say to him.

Now, I can't judge what he wants to do

That's his choice.

But that was before me.

Yes and I know that he did pretty much anything

to make you happy.

I want him to live, Lou.
