ELLIOT: No. I couldn't live without you. But I couldn't live with myself knowing that was true. DAVID: I would have saved you. I would have saved you over and over again. ELLIOT: You couldn't save me from across the Atlantic. DAVID: I wish I could. I wish I did. Pause ELLIOT: I'm sorry David. DAVID: Losing you was the hardest thing I ever did, and I had to lose you twice. ELLIOT: I was already gone David. When I left you, I was long gone. DAVID: Why didn't you come back? Why didn't you just come home? ELLIOT: I hated myself, I hated who I was. I was a terrible husband, I was a terrible son. I was a terrible friend. DAVID: You were my best friend. ELLIOT: I know. DAVID: I had to find out from my parents, Elliot. It was my mam who told me what happened. ELLIOT: I'm sorry David. DAVID: She kept going on about the poor wife this and the poor wife that. She didn't know that it was killing me. Pause ELLIOT: I'm sorry. I can't change it, I wish I could. DAVID: I wish I could too. I wish that every single day. ELLIOT: You need to stop wasting your wishes on me. DAVID: I have. Time passes, things change. ELLIOT: Time passes yet here I am, still eighteen years old. You're still eighteen in your mind. You haven't let yourself move on. DAVID: I have. I've had a successful career. I've done a lot with my life. ELLIOT: Then why can't you finish your novel? Explain that to me. Pause
See, I knew I was right. I'm always right. DAVID: And still as vain as ever. (Pause) I can finish my novel. I could finish it ifl really wanted to. ELLIOT: But you don't really want to. DAVID: Fine. Forget about the novel. I'm finished with it. That's not what I want. ELLIOT: Want do you want then? DAVID: I just want ... ELLIOT: What? DAVID: I just want ... you. David looks up and meets Elliot's eyes for the first time. Blackout on Elliot. Pause. Blackout on David
