She is safe.

Kat closes her eyes as the plane levels off, then peeks over

at Nick, who’s calmly staring out the window. She closes her

eyes again, this time for good.

EXT. LONDON - ESTABLISHING - DAY

INT. BAGGAGE CLAIM - HEATHROW

Nick and Kat wait at the baggage claim. She looks at his

tie, then down at her dress. They are the exact same color.

KAT:

(concerned)

Please tell me you’re not wearing

that tonight.

Her dress is indeed the exact same color as Nick’s tie.

KAT:

It’s no big deal. Really. It just

looks like a tailor cut off a yard

of my dress and made your tie out

of it.

Nick doesn’t get it. He heaves one of Kat’s suitcases onto a

trolley full of matching suitcases.

KAT (CONT’D)

Don’t get me wrong, matching’s

fine. It’s “matchy matchy” you’ve

got to watch out for.

(re:
outfits)

This is matchy-matchy.

Nick, amused, tugs the last of the bags off the carousel and

adds it to a pile of what appears to be an entire floor model

of matching luggage.

NICK:

You think we look like we’re trying

too hard.

KAT:

Exactly. I want us to look like we

fit, but not like we’re trying too

hard to look like we fit.

(beat)

It’s welcome cocktails, not prom.

With this level of matchy-matchy, we

should be drinking peach schnapps

under a bleacher somewhere.

Nick laughs at Kat. Then fixes her with an intense stare.

NICK:

I’ll teach you a trick. If you

look people in the eye, they’ll

never even notice what you have on.

Kat, overwhelmed by his charisma, is mesmerized.

NICK (CONT’D)

What color are my shoes?

KAT:

(dreamily)

You have feet?

Nick smiles sweetly and touches her cheek.

EXT. COUNTRYSIDE - OUTSIDE LONDON - DAY

The Heathrow Express thunders towards London.

INT. HEATHROW EXPRESS - [MOVING] - DAY

Nick stands by the W.C., flipping through Cosmo. He can do

that without looking gay. He talks to Kat through the door.

NICK:

I understand how important this is

to you, but you’re a beautiful

woman and you’ve got everything in

the world going for you. I

couldn’t care less what you have

on.
