Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World Page #7

---

Please.

To the beginning of the world.

It's a good one, that.

Such a good cheap wine.

You are the Iove of my Iife.

Elsa, what are you doing here?

It is Thursday.

Are you shitting me, Elsa? Seriously?

Go home. Just be with your family,

or do anything else.

I'm serious. You... Leave. Please.

It's just that... You don't... It's not...

I'm sorry. I just... I'm not trying...

Never mind.

See you next week, Mr. Dodge?

Okay.

Ah!

Bye, Elsa.

More Windose!

More Windose.

Matilda will be arriving one

week ahead of schedule.

The point of contact is 16

hours, 26 minutes away,

so be sure to mark your calendars.

Also, a friendly reminder

to set your clocks ahead for

daylight savings time.

Spring forward. That's one hour ahead.

On a personal note, this

is my final broadcast.

Our final broadcast.

On behalf of myself, producer

Bruce Hammond,

and everyone here at the network,

we bid you all a fond farewell.

It has been my pleasure to bring you

the news for the past 27 years.

Tonight, I'll be sitting across the

dinner table from my wife, Helen,

and we'll be talking about

our sons, Henry and Paul.

And we'll be saying our prayers

for each and every one of you.

Good night, good Iuck, and God bless.

Hey, what is it?

How could you Iet me go?

I don't know. It was so stupid.

I woke up.

I made him turn around.

I don't want to fall asleep, okay?

Don't Iet me fall asleep. Promise.

I promise.

What about your parents?

They're romantics, they understand.

Besides, they've got each other.

I just want to be with you.

And I want to be with you.

I couldn't Iive without you.

No matter how Iong.

What do we do now?

I just want to Iay here with you.

Just want to talk to you.

What are we gonna talk about?

Where'd you grow up?

Well, I was born in Surrey.

I know.

My whole family are from there.

Mmm.

My mum was a journalist before

she married my dad.

They never fought. Or at Ieast

we never heard them fight.

Charlie's the oldest, then Benny, then me.

We had a sister, but she

died when she was born.

I still think about her.

Oh, God!

What was her name? What

was your sister's name?

Um... Patricia.

Patricia Hope Lockhart.

That's beautiful. That's a beautiful name.

I wish I'd met you a Iong time ago.

When we were kids.

It couldn't have happened any other

way. It had to happen now.

But it isn't enough time.

It never would have been.

I'm scared. I...

Am madly in Iove with you, Penny.

You're my favorite, favorite thing.

I thought that somehow

we'd save each other.

We did.

Penny...

I'm really glad I got to know you.
