Me Before You Page #3

Synopsis: Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they're going to change each other for all time.

yeah, well I'll just

be in the kitchen, if you need anything.

lovely.

Has he done his Stephen Hawking impression yet,

or stuff about "My Left Foot"?

No, he's fine.

okay, well you can take lunch now.

Me and Mr. T. have a few things to take care of this time of day.

- Still a disaster? Yup

Good morning!

Hi!

not a great day.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Oh! Sorry!

Val dIsere.

good snow that year.

Sorry, I was, I was

You were just looking at my photographs.

thinking how awful it must be having lived like that and ended

up like this.

The rest are in the drawer if you'd like to snoop around further.

Good morning.

Every time I speak, he looks at me like I am stupid.

To be fair, you are pretty stupid.

Yes, but he does not know that yet.

Maybe he's like that with everyone.

until he knows if you are going to stick around.

I mean, it's only been 10 days.

But it feels like a lifetime.

You can't quit, Lou.

Yes? watch me.

Look, I'm thinking of going back to college.

Someone's dropped out of business studies and they can take me back

What? What about Thomas?

There is a nursery on the Campus, we'd come back at weekends.

I do not have a Patrick, Lou

I don't think I'm ever going to have a Patrick.

- I need this

- Oh, I get it!

You just want me to stay here in this miserable job, so

I can help Mom and Dad!

- I've done my fair share.

- Oh yeah?

I can't stay here.

You know I can't.

Please, for me and Tom.

Louisa, some visitors are on their way.

Friends of Wills, it's unexpected.

You might need to

I'll make some tea or coffee

And I'll make myself scarce.

Yes, that would be good.

I think I'll

I think I'll leave them to it.

So how's the Physio and stuff, all coming on,

is there any improvement?

No.

- because you look good.

Yeah.

So?

To what do I owe this pleasure?

I'm sorry it's been so long.

But I have been very busy,

Yes, things are manic at the office.

There's a new chap from New York.

Baines, you ever come across him at all?

No.

vicious.

total monster.

Some days, I feel that I can hardly leave my chair.

Please say something.

Congratulations.

Neither of us meant for this to happen. We were just

friends, for ages.

And if truth be told,

Rupert was a great support, after your accident.

How big of him!

Oh Will, please, I

We should probably go.

I'm sorry will, I really am.

We both are, and I, uh, we

We really do hope things improve for you.

Thank you, you know I tried, for months

He just pushed me away, didn't want me here.

You know, you can only help someone who actually wants to be helped.

I wondered, if you wanted me to

Right, well you'd better not move until I've cleaned that up.

Because I've got no idea what I'd do, if you pop a tire.
