[On the phone] Okay. Thank you. Bye. [Hangs up] Richard Aldridge will be speaking with one of my colleagues first thing tomorrow morning.
We make a good team, don’t we?
You said you had a question.
Oh yes, that. Would you hate me if I told you I was lying? It’s just these days I don’t get to spend much time alone with charming men.
Well, the reason for that - so you don’t kill them.
We all have our baggage. I’ve been thinking about you a lot over the past few months. I often wonder how things would be had we met under different circumstances.
Thinking about what might have been will drive you crazy.
Much better to think about what will happen in the future.
Erica...
I like you, Patrick. I hope my directness doesn’t make you uncomfortable.
I know what you’re doing.
What am I doing?
Seducing me to conceal your true purpose. Which is to escape.
Am I? Seducing you?
No.
I’m not trying to escape, Patrick. In fact, you don’t actually believe I am.
No?
No. Those agents outside the door aren’t to keep me from escaping. They’re to keep you and I apart. I know you have feelings for me. This whole escape nonsense is just your way of avoiding those feelings.
No, actually I'm fairly concerned you might try to escape.
Then ask yourself this. If those agents weren’t outside the door right now, what would you do? What will you do?
[She moves in, and slowly they kiss]
