FRANCESCA
What were you like when you were younger�拭 �
ROBERT
��smiles��
Trouble。 Why�拭 �
FRANCESCA
��laughs��
I just wondered。 Why were you trouble�拭 �
ROBERT
I had a temper。
FRANCESCA
What were your parents like�拭�
Pause。 Robert doesn't reply。 She looks at him curiously。
ROBERT
I can't do this�察�honey。
FRANCESCA
What�拭 �
ROBERT
Try and live a lifetime before Friday。 Cram it all in。
��shakes his head��
This is the first time either has mentioned their time clock。 Francesca nods�察�understandingly。
Across the room�察�Francesca notices A MOTHER having dessert with her FIVE´YEAR´OLD DAUGHTER�察�a pretty little girl in a
fancy yellow dress。 The mother rises and exits to the ladies room while the little girl continues eating a large sundae。
Francesca smiles。 As the girl licks a spoon of fudge�察�she sees Francesca looking at her and smiles back。 Robert watches
the silent exchange as he eats。 Francesca makes a funny face at her。 The little girl giggles as she spoons more ice´cream。 Unfortunately�察�she spoons too much and the ice´cream falls on her pretty dress。 She tries to take it off her�察�but she slips through her fingers and stains her even more。 She looks at Francesca as if she's about to cry。 Francesca smiles。
FRANCESCA
Excuse me a minute。
Robert watches her cross to the little girl and kneel beside her。 He sees her consoling the little girl while taking a napkin and dabbing it in the water glass。
She helps the girl carefully wipe away the mess�察�all the while calming her。 The mother re´enters the scene and shakes
her head at her daughter。 The daughter is afraid of being reproached but the mother is smiling。 She and Francesca begin talking。 She thanks Francesca。 Robert sees the two mothers exchanging a moment of common experience and brief friendship。 The mother and daughter take their leave as Francesca says goodbye and returns to the table。 Robert looks at her lovingly。 Francesca returns to her meal�察�but suddenly she is no longer hungry。 Robert senses something is upsetting
her。
ROBERT
You're somewhere else�察�where�拭 �
FRANCESCA
Just that it's been a perfect day and that I'd like to skip my fancy dessert and go home after this。
ROBERT
Uh´huh。 And�拭 �
FRANCESCA
��beat��
You're right�察�you know。 We don't have much time。
Uncomfortable silence hangs between them。 A waiter passes by。
ROBERT
Check�察�please。
OS�察�as the MOTHER YELLS�此 �
MOTHER
REBECCA� �REBECCA� �
Both Robert and Francesca look to the voice。

EXT。 RESTAURANT ´ DAY
The mother stands on the street frantically calling for her daughter。
MOTHER
REBECCA� �
The Maitre'd�察�Francesca and Robert exit the restaurant。
MOTHER
Oh my God。。。� �
FRANCESCA
What happened�拭 �
MOTHER
I was paying the check。 She ran outside。 I told her to wait for me right here� �Oh God�察�where is she�拭�
Rebecca� �
The sidewalk is filled with people。 Francesca looks to Robert。 He recognizes the concern in her expression。 Going home will have to wait。
ROBERT
I'll check down here。 Someone call the police。
The Maitre'd goes back inside。 Francesca comforts the mother。
FRANCESCA
Think for a second。 Is there someplace she said she wanted to go�拭 �
MOTHER
I don't remember� �
EXT。 STREET
Robert searches through the street�察�poking in and out of storefronts�察�looking across the street。
EXT。 RESTAURANT
Francesca and the mother search in the opposite direction。
EXT。 STREET
Through the crowd of people�察�Robert looks across the four lane Main Street to a LARGE CITY PARK。 He crosses to it。
INT。 RESTAURANT ´ AN HOUR LATER
Francesca sits with the mother as TWO POLICEMEN take down a description。 The mother is crying。 A waiter brings over some water for her。 The Maitre'd stands by。
MOTHER
She was right outside。 I turned my head for a second。
POLICEMAN
When was this�拭 �
FRANCESCA
About an hour ago。
MOTHER
They're not going to find her� �
FRANCESCA
Yes�察�they are。
At that moment�察�the mother looks up and cries。
MOTHER
REBECCA� �
She jumps out of her seat as all turn to see�此�
Robert holding the little girl in his arms�察�entering the restaurant。 He carefully hands her over to the mother。 The
two wrap their arms around each other。 Francesca looks to Robert�察�loving him even more now。
FRANCESCA
Where was she�拭 �
ROBERT
Across the street。 She went into the park and got turned around and didn't know her way out。
MOTHER
You crossed the street by yourself�殖 �
REBECCA
��crying��
It was a green light。
The mother is too relieved to be mad。 Robert sits down。
MOTHER
Thank you so much� �
ROBERT
��frazzled��
I need a drink。
Everyone laughs out of relief。 Francesca wraps her arm around his shoulder and kisses his forehead。 He kisses her back。
INT。 TRUCK ´ DUSK
Robert drives as Francesca sits inside his arm。 Neither speaks。
INT。 JOHNSON HOUSE ´ DUSK
Francesca calmly leads Robert up to her bedroom。
INT。 JOHNSON BEDROOM
Naked�察�Francesca guides Robert into bed beneath the covers。 They begin to make love softly�察�lovingly like a couple that are beyond the erotic�察�discovery stage�察�a couple that have been together and in love for years。
LATER ´
Francesca puts her arm around him as he nestles his head to her breast。 Francesca strokes his hair as Robert closes his
eyes。
ROBERT
I don't know why I'm so tired all of a sudden。
FRANCESCA
Long day。 Go to sleep。
ROBERT
Am I too heavy for you�拭 �
FRANCESCA
No。
Robert settles into her。 But Francesca is wide awake。 Something is on her mind ;Tomorrow�拭�What happens after tomorrow�拭─ �
INT。 KITCHEN ´ MORNING
Francesca is serving Robert breakfast�察�then sits down beside him。 Silence。 We can sense some tension between them this being their last day together。
Francesca seems ingeniously friendly。 Robert is suspicious。
FRANCESCA
Sleep all right�拭 �
ROBERT
Yes�察�thanks。
FRANCESCA
Good。 More coffee�拭�
��he nods�察�she pours��
Robert�察�I hope you don't mind my asking�察�but I feel like I should。
ROBERT
What�拭 �
FRANCESCA
Well�察�these。。。 women friends of yours。。。 all over the world。 How does it work�拭�Do you see some of them again�拭�Do you forget others�拭�Do you write them now and then�拭�How do you manage it�拭�
Her facetiousness startles Robert。
ROBERT
I。。。 What do you want�拭 �
FRANCESCA
Well�察�I just want to know the procedure。 I don't want to upset your routine。 Do you want any jam�拭 �
ROBERT
��insulted��
Routine� �I don't have a routine。 And if you think that's what this is ´
FRANCESCA
Well�察�what is this�拭 �
ROBERT
��upset��
Well�察�why is that up to me�拭�You're the one who's married。 You told me you have no intention of leaving your husband。
FRANCESCA
To do what�拭�Be with someone who needs everyone and no one in particular�拭�I mean�察�what would be the point。 Would you pass the butter�拭 �
ROBERT
I was honest with you。 I told you who I was。
FRANCESCA
Yes。 Absolutely。 You have this habit of not needing and that it's hard to break。 I understand。
��beat��
Of course�察�in that case�察�why sleep you don't need rest or for that matter eat�察�you don't need food。
She takes his plate away from him�察�rises and throws it into the sink。
ROBERT
What are you doing�拭 �
FRANCESCA
��sarcastic��
Gee�察�I don't know。 I guess I'm not cut out to be a World Citizen who experiences everything and nothing at the same time。
ROBERT
How do you know what I experience�拭 �
FRANCESCA
��angry��
I know you� �What can this possibly mean to anyone who doesn't ;need; meaning ´
��mocking��
;Who goes with the Mystery; who pretends he isn't scared to death。
ROBERT
Stop it� �
FRANCESCA
You have no idea what you've done to me�察�do you�拭�And after you leave�察�I'm going to have to wonder for the rest of my life what happened here。 If anything happened at all� �And I'll have to wonder if you find yourself in some。。。 housewife's kitchen in Romania if you'll sit there and tell her about your world of good friends and secretly include me in that group。
ROBERT
What do you want me to say�拭 �
FRANCESCA
��nonchantly��
I don't want you to say anything。 I don't need you to say anything。
Robert rises�察�knocking his chair aside。
ROBERT
STOP IT� �
FRANCESCA
Fine。 More eggs or should we just fuck on the linoleum one last time�拭 �
ROBERT
��grabs her��
I told you� �I won't apologize for who I am。
FRANCESCA
No one's asking you to� �
ROBERT
I won't be made to feel like I've done something wrong。
FRANCESCA
��angry��
You won't be made to feel� �Period。 You've carved out this little part for yourself in the world where you get to be a voyeur�察�a hermit and a lover whenever you feel like it and the rest of us are just supposed to feel so incredibly grateful for the brief time you've touched our lives� �Well�察�go to hell� �It isn't human not to feel lonely it isn't human not to afraid� �You're a hypocrite and you're a phony� �
ROBERT
��cries out��
I DON'T WANT TO NEED YOU� �
FRANCESCA
WHY�拭 �
ROBERT
BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE YOU� �
FRANCESCA
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT�拭�
He throws a cup at the wall。 It breaks apart。 Covering his face�察�Robert turns away from her as he holds onto the sink。
Francesca reaches for him but he pulls away�察�embarrassed。
19
FRANCESCA ��cont'd��
��softly��
Don't you see�察�I've got to know the truth�察�Robert。 I've got to know the truth or I'll go crazy。 Either way。 Just tell me。 But I can't act like this is enough because it has to be。 I can't pretend I don't feel what I feel because it's over tomorrow。
Robert�察�keeping his face from her�察�tries to tell her�此 �
ROBERT
If I've done anything to make you think that what's happened between us is nothing new for me is some routine then I do apologize。
FRANCESCA
What makes it different�察�Robert�拭�
Robert turns to face her。 He is so hopelessly in love he can hardly find the words。 His eyes fill up with tears。
ROBERT
Because。。。 if I even think about
tomorrow if I。。。
��voice cracks��
even think about leaving here without you I'm not sure I can。。。 that I ´��he shakes his head��
He can't even finish。 He kneels down before her wrapping his arms around her and burying his face into her body。 Francesca starts to cry out of happiness�察�out o
