Helen: I had a really nice time, James.
James: Did you? Shit, sorry. That's against the rules isn't it?
Helen: Yes, it is. Just bear that in mind in the future, would you? I'm getting
over a major breakup.
James: Sorry, won't happen again.
James: Hey, you know, everything happens for the best. You'll never known until
you try.
Helen and James are in the boat talking.
Helen: ...I'm still on the rebound...Oh God, I hate that word, but I am.
James: Who isn't? Everyone is. I'm on the rebound myself...in a way.
Helen: So who are you on the rebound from?
James: A girl called Pamela. My whole life pivots around Pamela and I
breaking up.
Helen: When was that?
James: 1973. We were eight.
Helen begins laughing.
James: No warning - gone - left me for someone else.
Helen: Who?
James: Gary Gletter! For cryin' out loud! All my friends were being left for
Donny Osmond or David Cassidy. I could come to terms with that....in time!! But Gary, she
wanted to touched him there!! Well, I went to piece and there was no junior Prozac to see
me through...
Helen shuts him up by kissing him.
James: So...I...I...
Helen: I kissed you.
James: I spotted that, too.
James: I don't want to be a confusion in your life, Helen - I don't truly. But
something's happened to me since I've met you, that I wasn't expecting...and I don't really,
I wasn't expecting...repetition of expect - I must buy a thesarus.
Helen silences him by putting her finger to his lips and kissing him again.
Helen:
(to Gerry) You wanker. You sad, sad wanker.
Helen: I fell like such a mug! Useless, no-good, shagging, horrible, despicable,
lying, two-faced, pissing, shagging -
Anna: You said shagging...
Helen: ...wanker!
Helen: Do you think I go to bed with every successful oarsman I come across?
Helen: Are you having an affair?
Gerry: No, I'm not.
He crosses the room to Helen.
Gerry: Helen, look into my eyes. I am not having an affair...I'm not.
On the bridge in the rain...
James: Helen, if we are not going to be together then let's make sure it's for
the right reason. And right now, there is no reason - none! There's just confusion and it can
be erased in a split second.
Helen: Is this the truth, James?
James: Permission to engage the enemy, sir.
In the hospital after the accident...
James: Helen, for some reason I know you can hear me. I'm glad we got
things sorted out....I'm glad you caught the train that day....I'm going to make you so
happy...I promise.
After Helen wakes up, she has flashes of the bridge at night, the diner, and the train. She
turns and finds Gerry sitting next to her.
Gerry: I'll do anything you want.
Helen: Will you? In that case, I want you to stand up, walking over to the
door, open it, walk through it, and close it behind you.
Helen drops her earring in the lift, and James picks it up for her.
Helen: Thank you.
James: Cheer up. You know what the Monty Python boys say?
Helen: Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
