Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій


Joanna: Hello. Do I know you?

Tim: No, no, no. I'm a friend of Mary's.

Joanna: She has another friend? Gosh, you amaze me. But hooray. Ooh. Hotdog? Took me hours. Made them myself.

Tim: Thanks.

Joanna: Disgusting. Totally undercooked. See you later.

Tim: Hi.

Mary: Hi.

Tim: I'm Tim.

Mary: Mary.

Tim: That's my mother's name, but let's not get into that. Um... I know this is forward but your face tells me that you're finding this party to be a living hell. So, I just wondered if you might come and have a bite to eat with me instead? Right now.

Mary: I'm sorry?

Tim: Obviously, I should have thought this through more. Let's talk about Kate Moss.

Mary: I love Kate Moss.

Tim: I always think the key thing with her is the history, you know, the informality of her early shots compared to high fashion stuff, so you always know that underneath she's still just the same cheeky normal girl naked on the beach.

Mary: The beach. I agree with you completely.

Tim: If we leave now then we can have, you know, more than one starter. I love your eyes. And I love the rest of your face, too.

Mary: More than one starter?

Tim: Ten amazing starters.


Tim: After you.

Mary: Thanks.

Tim: Ten minutes is long enough for any party, I think.

Mary: Yeah.

Tim: Especially that one.

Rupert: Evening, all.

Tim: God! What a dickhead.

Mary: Yeah.


Tim: So, what do you do?

Mary: I'm a reader at a publisher.

Tim: No! You read for a living?

Mary: Yes, that's it. I read.

Tim: Oh, That's so great. It's like someone asking, "What do you do for a living?" "Well, I breathe. I'm a breather, I get paid for breathing." How did you get that job?

Mary: Okay, smart-ass. What do you do?

Tim: I am a lawyer. Sort of. Sort of.

Mary: That's sexy.

Tim: Is it?

Mary: I mean, I think so. In a suit, in a court, saving people's lives. Kinda sexy.


Mary: Ummm, would you like to walk me to my car?

Tim: Yes.

Mary: Okay.

Tim: Why not? It seems like a good idea.
