This is my life…
SCENE XI: Will’s Office
(WILL is at his desk as GRACE enters.)
GRACE: Will, I am–I am so sorry for what I said back there.
[GRACE’S VEIL GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR, SNAPPING HER HEAD BACK. WILL UNCATCHES IT FOR HER.]
WILL: I know. It was mean, but… I know.
GRACE: This morning, on the way to the ceremony, Danny looked at me and said, “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” and I turned to him and said… “you know, the limo has a phone.” It wasn’t right. He was a smart, attractive man who loved me… And who I loved, by the way. Why wasn’t it right?
WILL: Sweetie, remember in college, we saw that French film about a man and a woman that were perfect for one another, but they kept missing each other, and in the last scene, they meet on a plane, because that’s the way it was destined to be, remember? And you said, “That’s going to be me.” Gracie, you’re just in the middle of your movie. Danny was a plot point, a nice, decent, postcoital-high-5-ing plot point. There’s still time, you know. Go get some Raisinets.
GRACE: I like Red Vines.
WILL: Whatever you want. The point is, it’s not over. If your movie’s going to have a happy ending, you just have to see it through. Come here.
GRACE: Uh-uh.
WILL: [KISSING HER FOREHEAD] Mwah! What do you say we go get a drink?
GRACE: Yes!
WILL: What is with that dress?
GRACE: Oh, give me a break. I had 5 minutes to prepare for this.
WILL: Still.
