Bel and Freddie in “Unfinished Business”

Bel

[voiceover, reading a letter] Dear Freddie, So I got your letter. San Francisco? Amazing. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write back. "There are life's natural heroes and then there's you." Your words. You always believed somewhere deep in you that there is a coward. I wish I had told you that that's not true. Because you leapt, while I stayed, feet first, into the unknown. Why should I have expected anything less than fearlessness from you?

[Cut to Freddie bleeding.]

Freddie

Money...

Bel

But I am not as brave as you. I want to write and say I'll be there, I'll get on a plane, I'll come right now. I really do, but I can't. Not because I don't love you. I love you, Freddie Lyon.

Freddie

Money...

Bel

But because you won't even get this letter.

Freddie

Money...

Bel

Because I won't ever send it. I'm the coward, Freddie, not you. So instead, I'm sending this prayer out there.

Freddie

Moneypenny...

Bel

Just hoping that somehow you'll know to come home. Just please come home, now, soon. And maybe your courage will make me brave, too. Just come home and I will leap, too.

Freddie

Moneypenny...
