Disclaimer: I do not own any part of 'Troy' or anything belonging to 'Troy'. I do not own the song 'Remember' either.
A/N: Ok, I copied this scene out of the script. I tried not to change too much, but I did tweak a few things, minor things. The song I used (Remember by Josh Groban) is off the Troy Soundtrack. I incorporated it into the scene as best as I could. I've had this idea for awhile, but I hadn't been able to find the script. Anyway, enjoy.
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
It was night. Paris and Helen were in his bedchamber. Paris was pacing the room and Helen was standing in the archway, looking out to the dark sea. A soft wind blew through her hair.
"They're coming for me," said Helen. "The wind is bringing them closer."
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
Paris stopped pacing and stared at Helen. "What if we left? Tonight, right now, what if we went down to the stables, took two horses and left. Ride east, keep riding–"
"And go where," asked Helen.
"Away from here," answered Paris. "I could hunt deer, rabbit. I could feed us."
I am the one star that keeps burning
So brightly
It is the last light
To fade into the rising sun
And with you whenever you tell
My story
For I am all I've done
"This is your home–"
Paris cut her off. "You left you home for me."
Helen sighed. "Sparta was never my home. My parents sent me there when I was sixteen to marry Menelaus, but it was never my home."
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember me
Paris, excited with his new hatched plan, barely listened.
"We'll live off the land," he said. "No more palaces for us, no more servants. We don't need any of that."
I am that one voice in the cold wind
That whispers
And if you listen
You'll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out
And touch you
That I will never die
Remember
I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
"And your family," asked Helen.
"We'd be protecting my family," exclaimed Paris.
Remember
I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
"If we're not here there's no need for a war."
"Menelaus won't give up," countered Helen. "He'll track us down to the end of the world."
"He doesn't know these lands," said Paris. "I do. We can lose ourselves in a day."
Helen pushed herself off the archway and gave Paris a kiss on the lips. "You don't know Menelaus. You don't know his brother. They'll burn every house in Troy to find us. They'll never believe we've left – and even if they do, they'll burn Troy for spite."
Paris considered her words and finally nodded. "Then I'll make it easy for him to find me. I'll walk right up to him and tell him you're mine."
Helen wrapped her arms around Paris and rested her chin on his shoulder. "You're very young, my love."
Remember
When your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
"We're the same age," protested Paris.
"You're younger than I ever was," answered Helen.
