Song: Goodbye My Lover, by James Blunt
"Please don't do this"
"What do you want me to do? There's no other choice left"
"There is always a choice! There's always more than this!"
"You know our time has run out, we can't keep doing this anymore –"
"It has been three years of this and you want to end this right here? Right now?"
"Of course not, I never wanted this!"
"What did any of this mean to you? Tell me what it meant to you!"
"Everything! It meant everything and more!"
"Then why! Why do this now, here, after all this time, you give up now?"
"You saw the way they looked at us! Like we were injured, sick, ripe for the taking. I want so much more for you than this, and if we end it now we can still make it out alive-"
"That's not what I want, we've been doing this for too long to go back, no matter what's happened. We can still come back from this and if not we can push through! We did this together, let's come out of this together."
"Neither one of us is going to make it out alive at this point, it's done, as soon as those animals looked at us the way they did, we both knew we were done-"
"The hell we are! I get a say in this too and I'm not letting this go!"
"We don't have a choice! We never had a choice! Not when we met, not when we were thrown in that studio together overnight, not when Bianca chased us down and not now! Our choice was taken away from us the moment we met and now we're both done for!"
"Why, why do you keep doing this? We can't be done, it wasn't supposed to end this way, it wasn't!"
"There was never any other outcome for this."
