If Only script

If Only script I'm really going to miss you, you know that? Sam, just couple of weeks. Which is gonna seem like an eternity, right? An eternity, and then some. Oh, it's better, you bloody englishman. - Say it again. - Say what? I love hearing you use english swear s. Say 'bloody'. 'Bloody'. - Say 'bugger', - 'Bugger'. You bugger, you bloody bugger. That's the word. - Oh, crap. - Oh, you smooth talker, you. I have to get dressed, run through my notes, rehearse my presentation. Have a nervous breakdown, ignore your half-naked girlfriend. Give me two seconds. Just stay right there and don't move your cute British butt. - Don't tell me, there's a gift. - There's a gift. There's always a gift. It makes me feel very guilty. Well, that is the general idea. I have a present, too. I'll give it to you later because it's a surprise. Great. I love surprises. - It's perfect. - I know. Vintage Portobello Road, it's only ten pounds. And it does come with this. Nice lining, silk. What? I have to get ready, you know how important this meeting is. If it goes well, you know what that you could mean. Ian... Sam, please have mercy. You know, that's what I was thinking, that after you close the deal and knock them dead... it would be a perfect time to step back, relax, and... - And? - And go to Ohio. I want you to go to my mom's wedding with me. You can meet everyone. You're not coming? I tried to free things up but you know how hectic work's been. I'm really sorry. That's okay. Look, I'm really sorry to let you down about Indiana. Ohio. Bugger, I'm sorry, again. I'm just going to have to meet your mom at the next wedding. What wedding? Ours. Next year. Me? Marry you? A guy who confuses the buckeye state with the hoosier state? I don't think so. - I'm going to take a shower now. - Be my guest. Sam? I am cool. Ready for breakfast? Bon appetite. Hey, I don't care how big this meeting is. You are going to eat. Sorry, there's no time. Aw, I'm such a klutz. Show me. - Better? - Much. Good. One day accessing one's genetic make-up will be as easy as running a credit check. That knowledge gives us the power to alter our destiny. Alter destiny? You believe that? Yeah, of course I do. I'm telling you, in the next fifty years... People are still going to die. It'll still rain right after you wash your car, and the stones will still be touring. That stuff's out of your control. The only things you can control are your own choices. Okay. Well, that would be the other point of view. But I don't have time to debate destiny. I'm just practicing my speech. Excuse me. In case we don't talk later, dinner tonight. Tantra, seven o'clock. Tonight, seven o'clock? You're kidding, right? Kidding? Not that I'm aware of. My concert. The one I've been preparing for for three years. Ring a bell? Yeah. Your graduation concert. I didn't forget that. That's... Tonight. Seven o'clock. I'm an ass. I'm so sorry, Sam. I can't believe I did that. Good luck. In your meeting. Not that you need it. You'll be great. I'm sorry. You've got to be kidding me. Oh no, the stupid jerk. You know, don't be late. I'll take care of this. See you tonight at the concert. Concert? What concert? I was kidding. Kidding you see, because it turns out I forgot the thing and... Oh, this must be that british sense of humor I keep hearing about. Okay. I'll see you tonight. Gentlemen, we at AGS are not only at the forefront of biotech... not the forefront, the vanguard! Bollocks! What happened? I cracked it this morning. But it says eleven o'clock. Well, the hands must have moved. At least it'll be right twice a day. Do me a favor. Call Tantra, push my reservation to nine. And have someone dash over to Harvey Nicks. I need a present for Samantha... For Samantha's graduation concert. How did you remember that? I'm not sure, could be because she told me. She sent you an invitation which is on your desk, we programmed the date into your palm... Okay, got it, got it. Thanks. Anyway, I promised her a surprise. So, how about a sweater? Something cashmere? Red! Red's her favorite color. She's already got one. A red cashmere sweater. She was wearing it last time she was here. She went on and on about how much she loved it. Really? Where was I? Right next to her. 'You have no idea... ' 'What I feel inside' 'Hold me, babe' Sorry to make you pick me up all the way over here. Don't know why I put up with you. Pick up, pick up... Cute hair! Shit. Voicemail. I just found your blue folder. The one with all the notes in it. I'm on the way to the hotel right now. Go. Sorry, sorry. Ladies, gentlemen, today we are given an opportunity to help mankind. - Excuse me, sir. - Yes? Could you please take this folder into the conference room for me? My... Mr. Wyndham's expecting it. I'm sorry, miss, but that's against hotel policy. But he could lose his job. That's tragic. But alas, not my problem. God, even when you guys are nasty it sounds polite. Now, in terms of your investments... Shit. Briefcase is open. I have to go in. Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Wyndham. This is for you, I just thought that you might need the exact same folder you already have. I see. Okay, well... false alarm. Terribly sorry. I just thought, I just wanted to make sure you, he had everything he needed. Because he worked so hard on it. I mean, really dedicated... and he deserves for this to all go perfectly. Not like this. This is my fault. Me. So anyway, really nice to meet all of you. You were right, they really are a serious-looking bunch. In a good way. So, in conclusion... Ian's good. Give him the money. See you later. So, move on, shall we? I forgot my purse. He already had the folder. Take this folder. I never want to see it again. - I think that went well. - Did it? Yeah, the glaring, the awkwardness. The cold stare from Ian. Just what I was hoping for. I think I talked too much. Come on, let's go to work. There's a guy there who loves your delightfully impulsive nature. I can't do it. I'm bad. Come here. You are not bad. Do you know why? Because if you were bad, then that would mean I was a bad teacher... and in fact I am a fabulous teacher, right? Hence, you couldn't possibly be bad. You've got a point. Come on. Let's all play together. You're ready? One, two, three... Did you land the money then? I had them, I had them in the palm of my hand. I can't believe Samantha pulled that stunt after... She spent all morning being peeved at me for 'not being in the moment' or some such bollocks. All birds are like that. Especially the yanks. Where do they come up with them? Oprah. Oh, right. You're up guys. Excuse me, miss. I couldn't help but notice that you work here. I was just wondering what time you... knock off? Oh, just piss off, will you? Oh, shit. Sorry, mate. That's all right, mate. I should be heading off anyway. Samantha. Right. See you later, boys. Bye bye, Romeo. - I think she liked you. - Definitely liked you, mate. I just need an objective person to tell me... if the surrealist nudes should go on the east wall... or wether I should put the multiple falus sculptures there. They look pretty amazing when the sun hits them. I bet they do. Is that Ian? What's he doing? Surprise. Clifton Hall, please. That's a music school, isn't it? Yeah, there's a concert there tonight. Your girlfriend's a musician. That's right. And you're having problems with your love life. How in the world did you know that? People in my profession are second only to bar men in knowing about the problems of the heart. So what's the trouble? Ah, don't wanna talk about it. That's a good idea. The thing will probably just fix itself. Well, I can't seem to make her happy. How can you love someone so much and not know how... how to love her? So you do love her? Yes, very much. Yeah, well that's all that matters. She's going away tomorrow, for two weeks. She wants me to go with her. What if she never came back? What sort of a question is that? Well, come on, picture it. You wave goodbye at the airport she gets on an airplane... you never see her again. Could you live with that? No. No, I couldn't. Well, you know what to do. Appreciate her, and what you have. Just love her. It's not for another two blocks. You can't show up empty-handed. You know, if Ian bought a ticket and if he's coming home with me, that's really sweet. I mean, maybe he's coming around. I hope so, you deserve it. And if Ian doesn't know that, he's nothing but a deep shit. You always know exactly what to say. Now remember, you are the bee's knees. It's a good thing. Have a great time tonight. Thank you, bye. Next, Melvina Walters will sing... Juliet's Waltz, by Guno. Hi, thanks. Ready? Uh, yeah. See you later. Enjoy the great trip. Hey Oliver, oh, you made it, hi! Are you kidding? He wouldn't have missed it for the world. She was the best one. I love Miss Andrews, everyone does. It I was just a few years older... You! - This is for you. - Thank you. Ian, is this not just the cutest card? Yeah, we should go. - Well, I... - That's okay, we need to go too. It was a disaster, Dunbar passed, Drown is pissed and I'm screwed. - God, Ian, I'm so sorry... - Forget it. So, what else is going on? Lottie has an exhibit tomorrow. Some bigshot gallery, the 'Zinc'. I went down there to help with... Sounds like fun. Wanna dance? When have you ever seen me dance? So where did you go this afternoon after your meeting? I called your cell a zillion times. Oh, I turned it off. Didn't wanna hear from anyone. Spent the rest of the day walking around the city, thinking. About? About us, and whether we're gonna make it. No I didn't mean that, you don't understand. I have to admit our morning was not the greatest, and the meeting was... I was wondering what to do, and then I met this cab driver. A cab driver, you talked... Sounds weird, but it was good, really. He made me realize that even though you and I have problems, we share a lot too. We enjoy each other, and I should appreciate that. It's underneath everything, and despite this awful day, I adore you. I guess what I'm saying is, I... I wanna soldier on. I really do. Okay? No. No what? I don't wanna soldier on. Ian, if I were to stay in London now, it would only be for you. For us, and I would do that in a heartbeat... if I thought that we were really special. - We are. - Really? You never tell me how you feel or talk about yourself. You don't wanna meet my family, you forgot my graduation, we ran into my favorite student, and you act as if he has something contagious. Ian, I know you have the best intentions... but I just feel that I'm a very high second priority for you. That hurts. And the worst part is I'm starting to get used to it. I don't understand. I know. It's what kills me. If there'd just been one day, Ian... one day, when nothing else mattered for us... - I adore you! - I don't wanna be adored. I wanna be loved. Where are you going? Spend the night at Lottie's, to the airport tomorrow and... I can't do this anymore. I saw you at the travel agency today. Where are you going? Johannesburg, business. Samantha, Samantha wait, please. You can't do this to me. You can't leave me. You're saying, you're saying that I'll never see you again? You coming or not? In or out my friend, it's your choice. Samantha! No, Samantha! Baby, baby please no! Baby, baby please... Help me, help me, help me! So sorry. I wanted to be with her... I really did. How can this happen? How could she go? Read one word, and I'll kill you. I was just kidding! You're, you're, you're here! Yes yes, and you're scaring me. I, I, I... You... I... You... Okay, I'm gonna approach you, and and, now I'm gonna hug you. It's okay, everything's gonna be okay. I'm really gonna miss you. Me too, I really will miss you Sam. I hope you know that. It's important that you believe me. I believe you. And I would hate, hate for you to have to go through so much pain, so, instead of missing me, why don't you come with me to Ohio? Samantha... You're definitely not coming. I can't. Of course you can't, work, I know, big meeting... I... I had a meeting... and you... Ian, calm down. Calm down! Look, you're very prepared for today and you're gonna be great. Don't go anywhere. What are you doing? Sit, don't move your cute british butt. - There's a gift. - There's a gift. This can't be happening. Well of course it can. I like buying things for you, and I wanna say goodbye properly. Portobello Road. 10 pounds! Plus, look at this. Oh my God! Okay, not the reaction I was looking for. I'm sorry, I just, I had a terrible nightmare. And I can't seem to get rid of it. I... and you... We? We... should... eat? Yes, yes! We should have breakfast. Let's have breakfast, together. Okay. I am the coolest. Samantha? Watch out, the coffee pot! I see it, crazy yelling man. I know, I just thought you might hurt yourself. Sam? Oh, I'm sorry. Am I too loud? No. I was actually hoping that you'd sing. You need to get out more. You are a great songwriter. And you need to let people see that. It's an amazing gift. You're biased. That's true. God, I am such a klutz. You burned yourself on the hand. Keen Powers of observation. Ian, what's wrong with you? I burn myself with that damn thing every other day. You do? Yes, I do. What are you doing? We always go that way. And do you know why? Why? Because that's where you work and I teach. Let's try a new way. Loop around. It might be fun! I like this route better, don't you? Care to explain? I just thought the scooter seemed a little... speedy. Watch where you're going! You've got to be kidding me. It wasn't a dream. What? All these things happening today, every single one, I already knew they would happen. What do you mean? The leatherjacket. The burn. The coca cola spilled on your sweater. I already saw or dreamt those things. Some happened a little differently, but... Okay Ian, calm down. You know, sometimes I've had deja vu, and it... But it's not deja vu. In deja vu... it feels like it's already happened. You don't know what's going to happen. Alright, what happened in the dream that freaked you out so badly? It was... it was awful. Okay. Let's be logical about this. In your dream or vision, or whatever, what happens next? You go back to the apartment to wash your sweater and I go to my meeting. That is awful. On the way to my meeting, my watch cracks. Okay. So here's what we're going to do. We'll walk to your office together. And if your watch cracks... then we'll know something's going on, and we'll deal with it. Okay? Almost there. We're holding hands. I like holding hands. Me too. Do you have the time? Sorry. Watch. Sore subject. It's fine. You're just nervous. You're right, I'm sure you're right. So, you okay? You ready for the meeting? Yes. Good luck. Not that you need it. You're going to be great. I'll see you tonight at the concert. Concert? What concert? I was kidding. That was me kidding. You know, the british sense of... Nevermind. Bye. Yeah, see you tonight. Do me a favor. Call Tantra and push my reservation to nine. And have someone dash over to Harvey Nicks. I need a present for... For Samantha's graduation concert? You forgot. I reminded you twice. Yes, no, I don't know. I don't know if I did or didn't forget. I forgot yesterday, but I don't think I forgot today. Did you wear that yesterday? Quite possibly. On the pittance you pay me, I've only got a few things. Claire, can I ask you a question? If you must. Did you ever have a dream and the next day everything feels familiar? You know, like it's from the dream? Yes. I have. For example last night, I dreamt that you would bore me to death first thing this morning, and lo and behold... Come on, seriously. Seriously? Yes. Ian, I believe dreams are very important. They should be listened to. You really think so? Yes. And I also believe that you should get over to that meeting... or you'll be sacked, and I'll be on the dole. And those are AGS's main objectives. To design new ways to treat, cure, or prevent the countless illnesses that inflict humankind. I'm happy and more than a little proud to report... that AGS is way ahead of the competition in this area. Now... in terms of your investments... these 7-year projections clearly document everything we've discussed so far. We've amortized the cost of the research over a 10-year period. I knew it! I knew you'd be here! Okay. You've heard my pitch, and I can tell by the unbridled excitement on your faces... Come on, guys. Settle down. This is not a party. This research isn't about perfect projections or amortized costs or beating the competition. It's about giving people the most precious gift possible... time. This is a great opportunity, and I say grab it. What do you think? - Did you land the money? - I did. And it was the strangest thing because the other time when Samantha walked into the meeting, I thought she messed everything up. Oh, I didn't tell you guys about the dream I had. Of course not, because that would be tonight. Okay. Tell us about the dream. It's more of a deja vu. Deja vu. Sometimes dismissed as a random neurological event... but is often a message from deep within the soul. And when the soul comes tapping at the door, it's time to let him in. Oprah. No. Dr. Phil. You're up guys. No, no, no. That's not what I'm talking about. There are certain things that I know are going to happen. Excuse me? But haven't we met before... in my dreams? Oh, just piss off, will you? You see? I knew that would happen. We all knew that would happen. Can you remember anything useful? Like the 3:30 winner at Newmarket? No I'm afraid not. But everything's the same. It's just in a slightly different order. Slightly different order. I've got to go. Mackenzie street, please. Yes, sir. You've got to be kidding me. Excuse me, sir? You're the driver from yesterday. Anything's possible. Yesterday you knew certain things about me. About your love life? Yes. Yeah well people in my profession are second only to barmen... in knowing about problems of the heart. And that, you said that exactly. So if you're the same, if this cab ride is the same... then everything else today will be the same. At the end of the day, my girlfriend gets into this taxi... it stops at a light, it's hit, and she... Is that going to happen? Is it? What if she doesn't get in the cab? What if I take her out of London? Maybe if we stay in the apartment... Tell me, what can I do? There must be something I can do! Just one thing. Appreciate her. And what you have. Just love her. Will you let me out? Let me out right now! Certainly, sir. No, that's alright, sir. Why not? You paid me yesterday. Better hurry up. You haven't got much time. You've got to be kidding me. Excuse me, sir? You're the driver from yesterday. Anything's possible. Yesterday you knew certain things about me. About your love life? Yes. Yeah well people in my profession are second only to barmen... in knowing about problems of the heart. And that, you said that exactly. So if you're the same, if this cab ride is the same... then everything else today will be the same. At the end of the day, my girlfriend gets into this taxi... it stops at a light, it's hit, and she... Is that going to happen? Is it? What if she doesn't get in the cab? What if I take her out of London? Maybe if we stay in the apartment... Tell me, what can I do? There must be something I can do! Just one thing. Appreciate her. And what you have. Just love her. Will you let me out? Let me out right now! Certainly, sir. No, that's alright, sir. Why not? You paid me yesterday. Better hurry up. Samantha Andrews, where is she? I have no idea. Are you alright? Oliver? There's three next door, as well. Oliver? Samantha! I'm sorry. Sam? Lottie! Come on... Can I help you? Hi. I know you don't know me. I'm a friend of Lottie's. This will sound really strange, but I need to get into her apartment. Never seen you around before. Actually I'm her best friend's boyfriend. Do you know Samantha Andrews? Of cours
