"They wanted me to invite you to my birthday dinner next Thursday." "But don't worry, I said you wouldn't want to go." "Why?"

"Truth is, I thought I could crack this and then go back, as if nothing had changed." "Uh, I was wrong. (CHUCKLES)" "This is delicious, Mrs. Clark." "Oh!" "Josie, please!" "Well, we wanted to make today special." "Wish Treena could have been here." "She's the brains of the family." "She got put up two years at school, didn't she, Bernard?" "Overtook our Lou."

"She certainly gives a good bed bath." "(BERNARD SNICKERING)" "BERNARD:" "Funny guy." "I like him." "So, I could take you to a Shakespeare festival." "It's happening today and tomorrow." "Or there's a sculpture park we could visit." "Or there's..." "Ooh, there's wine tasting." "This came." "LOU:" "Ah." "Can I take you somewhere?" "WILL:" "First kiss I ever had was on that rampart." "Probably didn't hurt that you owned the castle." "Maybe I should have told her." "She dumped me a week later for a boy who worked at the local shop." "(LOU LAUGHS)" "You're never gonna fit through there." "LOU:" "Oh, wow." "It's amazing!" "Will?" "Will!" "No, please!" "Will, stop!" "Are you coming?" "(LOU PANTING)" "This is a very bad idea." "It's very dangerous." "It's very, very high up." "(LOU GASPS)" " And windy." " WILL:" "Hmm." "When I was a kid, this used to be my favorite place in the whole world." "(CHUCKLING) Did you walk around up here pretending you were a warrior prince?" "Even nicked a sword from one of the exhibits." "Weighed a ton." "I think this would still be my favorite spot." " That's because you haven't been anywhere." " Oh..." "So where's better than this, then?" "Val d'lsère?" "Paris." "Place Dauphine, right by the Pont Neuf." "Sitting outside a café with a strong coffee and a warm croissant with unsalted butter and strawberry jam." "So, let's go!" "We could get on the Eurostar right now." " No." " But you just said..." "You don't get it, Clark." "I want to be in Paris as me." "The old me." "With pretty French girls giving me the eye." "Could be something to look forward to." "If I shut my eyes now," "I know exactly how it feels to be in that little square." "I remember every sensation." "I don't want those memories erased by the struggle to fit behind a table, the taxi drivers who refuse to take me, and my wheelchair power pack that won't charge in a French socket." "I'll tell you where we will go, though." "Where?" "Alicia's wedding." "Really?" "Will you come with me?" "If you want me to." " (DOOR OPENS)" " LOU:" "Hello?" " Whoo!" "Jesus, Mum, hello!"

" Oh!" "(LAUGHING)" "See you." "Okay." "I thought you'd be pleased." "LOU ON PHONE:" "No, I am!" "I am pleased." "I just..." "I don't know." "I feel weird." "(CHUCKLES) Well, don't." "Your dad needed a job, mine needed a head of maintenance." "Yeah, but it's just the timing." "It's just a bit..." "It's good." "Your dad will be great." "And it means..." "It means what?" "WILL:" "It means..." "It means that one day you can go off and spread your wings without worrying about everyone else." "Put yourself first, for once." "(DOORBELL RINGING)" "Hello." "Michael Lawler." "I'm here to see Mr. Traynor." "Oh, no, no, no." "You've got the wrong door." " He lives..." " WILL:" "It's okay, Clark." "How was traffic, Michael?" "Oh, you know." "Once you're out of London..." "WILL:" "We'll sit in the courtyard." "You can leave us." "Thanks, Clark." "How have you been?" "Oh, well, thank you." "I thought he seemed happier." "He was smiling, laughing." "Me, too." "Well, thank you for telling me." " Louisa." " Yeah?" "You will look after him at the wedding, won't you?" "(SIGHS DEEPLY)" "LOU:" "I still don't know why we're doing this." "WILL:" "We're going to behave admirably."

"Absolutely, darling." "And I firmly encourage you to get as drunk as possible." "I hear rumors that the father of the bride" " is going to inflict another speech on us." " (LAUGHS)" "Oh, no." "I'm supposed to be driving Will home." "Ah, yes." "Young Will." "He was her chance, you know." "Only one of that lot that was worth a damn." "Terrible shame." "Well, he's not dead."

"Well, you never would've been looking at these breasts if you hadn't been in a wheelchair." "What?" "Of course, I would." "No, you wouldn't." "You would've been too busy looking at the leggy blondes." "The ones who can smell an expense account at 40 paces." "And, anyway, I would've been over there serving the drinks."

"In his dreams, he's still running or skiing, doing things, you know." "And then he wakes up and there's nothing I can say to him." "Now, I can't judge what he wants to do." "That's his choice."

"His other caregiver's coming, too." "Oh, two guys." "That's all right, then." "Patrick, this is really important." "Do you know how this feels?" "It's like I'm running permanently just a little behind the rest of the field." "It's like, there's something bad around the bend, and everyone seems to know what it is except me." "Patrick..."

"It's not even close." "You never saw me before." "I loved my life." "I really loved it." "I can't be the kind of man who just accepts this." "You're not giving it a chance."

"This, tonight, being with you" "is the most wonderful thing you could have ever done for me." "But I need it to end here." "No more pain and exhaustion and waking up every morning already wishing it was over." "It's not going to get better than this." "The doctors know it and I know it." "When we get back, I am going to Switzerland." "So I'm asking you if you feel the things you say you feel, come with me." "(SOBBING) I thought that I was changing your mind!" "Nothing was ever going to change my mind." "I promised my parents six months, and that's what I've given them." "No!" "No." "Don't say another word." "You're so selfish."
