Letters to Juliet Page #5

---

-Yeah.

To a wine auction? ln Livorno?

Yeah, it sounds terrible. l know.

l'm sorry. l'm so... l feel terrible now.

l feel terrible. l mean, it's...

l miss you already, you know.

-l'll be back very soon. Okay?

-Yeah. Be careful.

Bye! Ciao.

Listen to

what this poor girl writes.

"Juliet, is there anything worse

in this world than a man?"

Excuse me.

l'm sorry to interrupt,

but are you the Secretaries of Juliet?

-Yes, that's us.

-Great.

May l ask, which one of you wrote this letter

to my grandmother, Claire Smith?

l wrote that.

And l can't believe that it found you.

Yes. We Brits tend to stay

in our family homes.

Yeah. This is amazing.

lt's less than a week since l mailed it.

lt was a very thoughtful letter.

Now, what were you thinking?

l was thinking that she deserved an answer.

Yeah, 50 years ago, maybe. Not now.

l'm sorry. l didn't know true love

had an expiration date.

True love? Are you joking?

Could you imagine what would've happened

if she hadn't seen sense?

Well, yeah, you wouldn't be here,

and that would be an upside.

What are you doing here anyway?

What, are you some lonely American girl

who has to live vicariously through others?

l'm not lonely. l am engaged.

My condolences to the groom.

Excuse me!

So that's it? You've come all the way

from London to give me a lecture?

No, l came because l couldn't let

my grandmother come on her own.

Claire is here? Why?

l think even you might be able

to work that one out.

Oh, my God!

That's awesome!

She's come to find her Lorenzo!

Awesome?

And if Lorenzo doesn't want to see her,

has forgotten her,

is gravely ill or dead,

let's say, just for fun, then what?

Thought so.

l want to meet her. l'd like to meet Claire.

And l want to play for Manchester United,

but l'm sh*t at football.

You don't think that she wants to meet me?

l honestly think

she has no interest meeting a woman

that can manage to jam, "Oh, my God"

and "awesome" into the same sentence.

Gran, they're closing up.

We should go now.

Excuse me. Claire? Hi. Hi.

My name is Sophie,

and l wrote you the letter.

Letter? From Juliet?

Goodness! Thank you.

Thank you. But however did you find us?

-Well, your grandson found me, actually.

-You did?

Right, well, the thing is,

-l thought we should...

-Yeah, well, he's very sweet

and very charming, and he thought

that you might like to meet me.

Uncharacteristically thoughtful of you, dear.

Yes, well, under the circumstances,

it seems a little churlish not

to meet the woman responsible

-for this voyage of lunacy.

-Okay.

Charlie doesn't approve,

which makes this all the more fun.

We were just going for a glass of wine.
