BRIDGET (V.O.)

Here I am Bridget Jones, one day

short of 43. Of the two loves of my

life:
one is dead and the other is

married.

She walks on...

SHOOTING SCRIPT.

5

BRIDGET (V.O.)

Still, not to dwell on the

negatives. Many positives to note.

Am down to ideal weight! Am 685

days without a single cigarette. Am

hitting government target for

recommended intake of alcohol. 2-3

units per day.

A good looking man clocks her and takes her in as she walks -

she smiles to herself once he has passed.

BRIDGET (V.O.)

Have top job as producer of award

winning intelligent persons news

programme.

Bridget walks through the now fashionable Borough Market. She

passes the smallest Italian restaurant in the world, and

waves at GIANNI, the owner.

BRIDGET (V.O.)

AND...have foot on London’s

property ladder in now-fashionable

Borough Market...

7 EXT./INT. BRIDGET’S FLAT. CONTINUOUS 7

She trips up over a brand new, unused bicycle in the hallway.

Looks at it guiltily. She enters her sitting room just as a

fast train bullets past the windows, shaking the walls.

BRIDGET(V.O.)

...cleverly acquired just before

the new-improved transport links.

And even though I am still single,

I have NOT acquired a cat.

Then she opens a ‘funny’ birthday card featuring an old lady

and a cat.

She enters her make-shift office and goes to the shelf where

her old diaries are. She rifles through them to find a

photograph of her and Daniel, which is placed between the

pages. She looks at it mournfully before her eyes settle on

the diary entry on the page behind the photo... “Reasons why

Mark Darcy and I could never work” followed by a list of

reasons.

8 INT. BEDROOM. BRIDGET’S FLAT. NIGHT 8

Bridget lies in her bed.

On one bedside table is a pile of serious political tomes and

on the other, some self-help books. “Spinsterhood is the new

Feminism”, “Jog yourself Happy”, A 5:2 diet book with an

empty Kit-Kat wrapper on top, and on the floor in a pile of

dirty clothes “The Life Changing Powers of Tidying” She opts

for none of these, and picks up her iPad with a red cover and

types.

SHOOTING SCRIPT.

6

BRIDGET (V.O.)

If today has taught me anything,

it’s that life is short, you’ve got

to seize the day, stop making the

same mistakes, stop looking back

and... and not be dissuaded by the

very simple fact that the future,

seems to be something-

Suddenly the screen goes black. Bridget drags a charger and a

stray bra tangled in the wires across the floor. Plugs it in.

She then tries to get back in bed with the iPad, but realizes

the lead is just too short to reach.
