Trap for Cinderella Page #2

- Gosh, I don't know where to start.

- I think I'd change my nose.

I'd like one like yours.

God, it's been so long.

We were really close.

- Do you remember?

- Yeah. I kept all the photos.

- Really?

- They're at my flat.

No way.

I could go get them, if you like.

- What, now?

- Yeah. Why not?

- That's crazy.

- You'll still be here, right?

Clapham, please.

You can't get rid of me that easily.

[ CAT'S EYES:

"THE BEST PERSON I KNOW"]

[DO] Anywhere here is fine, thanks.

- [DO] Wait here.

- [MICKY] No, I want to come with you.

[DO] No, no, no, no.

It's a terrible place, really. Wait.

[MICKY] I'm coming up.

[MICKY] Ah!

What happened to you after?

We moved back to England.

My mother got a job

in the West Country,

miles from anywhere.

And I came up to London

after she died.

I'm sorry you had to go away.

Are you still in touch with your dad?

He killed himself.

I'm so...

I'm sorry. I've...

I've been rubbish.

I should have tried harder

to stay in touch.

It's all right.

Look at that.

Micky, stop! I can't swim!

I can't swim!

Do! Let go!

Let go. I can't breathe.

- Micky, it's too deep!

- Don't!

Let go!

Let go! I can't breathe!

[MICKY] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Micky, what have you done?

- Do!

- [MICKY] I'm sorry! I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean it!

- [DO] It's all right. I'm fine.

Micky! Micky!

Micky!

Micky!

Micky!

- Please! Why can't I stay?

- Do!

Micky!

- Do!

- Micky!

Do! Don't leave me!

- Where are you going?

- Oh, I have to go to work.

- Don't go.

- But I've got to pay my rent.

Yeah? You can move in with me.

OK, yeah, but I told you

I can't talk right now, so...

Yeah, OK, listen...

No, I'll give you a call back later.

But I have to go now. OK.

Bye.

My aunt. She doesn't even pretend

to like me any more.

She always calls at the wrong time.

And I'm going to be late again.

Have you seen my bag? OK.

- I'll see you tonight.

- Bye.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?

- Hello? Micky?

No, it...

Elinor.

Hi. It's Do,

Domenica Law.

Do? Oh, my goodness!

How long have you been

in touch with Micky?

Um... Oh, just a few days.

I see.

- Elinor?

- Yes, I'm here.

Listen, I'll get Micky to call you.

It's so good

to speak to you again.

Good evening, Do.

What do you mean?

It's all right. Don't worry.

- I need to go.

- No, please, Do.

You're Micky now.

Please, let me go.

[JULIA] It's our secret.

Do? Do?

[DO] Today my life began again.

[JULIA] It's our secret.

[DO] Monday, May...

We sat in her apartment together

for the rest of the afternoon.

Nobody understands what we share.

Saturday June 2nd.

She doesn't need him.

She only needs me.

Nobody understands me like she does.

I'd love to be like her.

She only needs me.

Nobody understands what we share.

Can't sleep here, love.

Upstairs, through the double doors,

first on the left.

Please vacate your room by 12,

Miss Law.

- What did you call me?

- Miss Law.

Isn't it?

[DO] Today was another glorious day.

[ CRYSTAL FIGHTERS: "AT HOME"]

I can't believe she wants

to spend so much time with me.

It looks OK.

Nobody understands me like she does.

Nobody knows what we share.

Bye. Don't hate me.

Sorry I'm late, babe.

I'll call you, Do, OK?

See you.

[MOANING]

Hi.

[MICKY] Ohh!

Thanks.

[MOANING]

Nobody knows what we share.

Yeah, fine.

[ELINOR] Dear Do.

A small something.

I hope it helps.

Elinor.

[DO] Dear Elinor.

It was so wonderful to talk to you

after all this time

and I was so delighted

to receive your letter.

I felt so stupid after your call

because I wanted to say so much,

but I just didn't know

where to start.

And I can give you news of Micky.

She's so busy

she doesn't have the opportunity

to write as much as she'd like to.

How's that for you?

[ELINOR] My dearest Do,

thank you for your kind

and considerate letter.

It was such a pleasant surprise

to hear your voice

after so many years.

You look good.

[ JOKER:
"THE VISION"]

Lighten up.

- Oh, are you guys going?

- Bye, see you later.

I'm sorry, madam.

Have you got another card?

I'll do it.

- Don't be stupid, you're broke.

- Oh, is that why he never pays?

- Am I hearing this?

- It's just something I've picked up on.

You're the f***ing parasite.

- How can you say that?

- Well, why do you put up with it?

You don't give a sh*t about money

but your friends are obsessed with it.

What's wrong with you?

Do you know what?

I need to go.

Jake!

Next time it would be nice

to see you without her around.

Get off.

[ CRYSTAL FIGHTERS: "FOLLOW"]

- Are you happy now?

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- You always say you're sorry.

You say it too much.

I love you.

Do you?

Do you really?

Is this what you want?

- Get off me.

- Is that what you want, Do?

Get off.

Happy now?

Get out!

Dear Elinor, I told you

I'd write with news of Micky.

She certainly lives her life to the full,

maybe too much sometimes.

She and her crowd stay out all night

most of the time.

I can't pretend

I don't worry about her sometimes.

Hopefully I'll get to meet you soon

and I'll be able to thank you in person

for all those precious summers.

With warmest best wishes, Do.'

What happened?

The diary entries just stop.

If I'm Do, then why did you tell me

I was Micky?

I arrived the morning

after one of your fights.

I could see it in your face.

It was clear you'd crossed a line.

There was no going back.

You just didn't realise it.

Elinor's health has taken a turn

for the worse since you last saw her.

She's very ill in hospital.

I'm sorry, but they give her

no more than a few weeks.

She wants you to visit her

in France right away.

Both of you.

Do, please pack a bag.

- No, don't listen to her, Do.

- She wants to see Do too.

- You can't just order her around.

- Pack your bag, please.

I'm not going. She hates me.

- You b*tch!

- Micky!

Micky, stop it!

Micky!

I'm just going to go to the bathroom.

I don't believe you.

Because your mind is blocking it out.

I'm not Do.

I don't feel like her.

Do died in the accident.

[DO] Thank you for inviting me.

So... what do you want

to talk to me about?

I thought you needed cheering up.

No, I'm fine.

What, living under Micky's shadow?

- Well, I wouldn't say that.

- Sorry.

I was just reminded

of how it was for me.

I don't know

how I put up with it for so long.

- First Elinor and then Micky.

- You two don't get on, do you?

No. Micky is irresistible.

But she's destroying herself.

Be careful you don't end up getting hurt.

I'm her friend.

So she won't hurt me.

No, you're probably right.

Just a little warning.

I've read your letters to Elinor.

- You've read my letters?

- Sorry. It's part of my job.

- How dare you?

- Do...

I know why you returned

the cheque to Elinor.

You mustn't feel ashamed.

I really don't think

this was such a good idea.

I just think it is so unfair.

Why do we not get

the life we deserve?

When I was 18, I was working

in one of Elinor's factories

and she saw something in me.
