Love Actually Page #2

Synopsis: Against the backdrop of aged has-been rock star Billy Mack's Christmas themed comeback cover of "Love Is All Around" which he knows is crap and makes no bones about it much to his manager Joe's chagrin as he promotes the record, several interrelated stories about romantic love and the obstacles to happiness through love for Londoners are presented in the five weeks preceding Christmas. Daniel's wife has just passed away, leaving him to take care of his adolescent stepson Sam by himself. Daniel is uncertain how to deal with Sam and his problems without his wife present, especially in light of a potential budding romance within their household. Juliet and Peter have just gotten married. They believe that Peter's best friend and best man Mark hates Juliet but won't say so to his or her face. Others looking at the situation from the outside believe Mark is jealous of Juliet as he is in love with Peter himself. Jamie, a writer, is taking a writing retreat by himself in rural France followin

for her birthday on Friday.

What do you think?

I just feel we've been bad sons this year.

Okay.

Sounds fine.

A bit, you know, boring, but fine.

Hurry up, big boy.

I'm naked and I want you at least twice

beforeJamie gets home.

[Whimpers]

[Girl]

I am so happy to see you guys.

Delicious delicacy?

Uh, no, thanks.

Taste explosion?

Food?

No, thanks.

Yeah, a bit dodgy, isn't it?

Looks like a dead baby's finger.

Eew.

Oh, yeah, tastes like it too.

I'm Colin, by the way.

I'm Nancy.

Wicked.

And what do you do, Nancy?

I'm a cook.

Ever do weddings?

Yes, I do.

They should have asked you

to do this one.

They did.

God, I wish you hadn't

have turned it down.

I didn't.

[Nervous Laugh]

Right.

I have just worked out

why I can never find true love.

Why's that?

English girls.

They're stuck up, you see.

And I am primarily attractive to girls

who are, you know, cooler,

game for a laugh.

Like American girls.

So I should just go to America.

I would get a girlfriend there instantly.

What do you think?

I think it's crap, Colin.

No, that's where you're wrong.

American girls would seriously dig me

with my cute British accent.

- You don't have a cute British accent.

- Yes, I do!

I'm going to America.

Colin.

You're a lonely, ugly arsehole

and you must accept it.

Never. I am Colin, God of Sex.

I'm just on the wrong continent,

that's all.

A bit of quiet while

we finish the lighting, guys.

I tell you, I thought I was

never gonna make it here today.

The traffic was just...

Oh, unbelievable.

Judy, um, could you take

the top off this time?

Lighting and camera need to know

when we're actually gonna see

the, um, nipples and when we're not.

Yes, okay. Right.

Well, at least

it's nice and warm in here.

It's not always the case, is it?

I was standing in

for Brad Pitt once on, you know,

Seven Years In Tibet.

Yes, yeah.

Bloody freezing, right...

Yeah, sorry, guys. Time's pretty tight

and we have to get the actors in.

Fine.

I promise I won't look.

[Man Over P.A.] Right, let's have

another look at that then, please.

Okay.

And Jerry says if you could just

put your hands on her breasts.

Oh, right, okay, yeah.

Is that all right?

Yes. Yeah, fine.

I'll warm 'em up.

Right.

And massage them, please.

Right.

It's Junction 13

that's just murder, isn't it?

Oh, yeah.

Total gridlock this morning.

Jo and I had a lot of time

to prepare for this moment.

Some of her, uh, requests,

uh, for instance,

that I should bring Claudia Schiffer

as my date to the funeral...

I was confident

she expected me to ignore.

But others she was

pretty damn clear about.

When she first mentioned

what's about to happen,

I said, "Over my dead body."
