Lou Clark: I know we can do this. I know it's not how you would have chosen it, but I know I can make you happy. And all I can say in that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful, I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world.
Will Traynor: I have to tell you something.
Lou Clark: I know. I know about Switzerland, I have known for months. Listen I know this is not how you would have chosen it, but I can make you happy.
Will Traynor: No.
Lou Clark: What?
Will Traynor: No Clarke. This could be a good life, but
it's not my life, it's not even close. You never saw me before. I loved my life. I really loved it. I can't be the kind of man who just accepts this.
Lou Clark: You're not giving it a chance, you're not giving me a chance. I have become a whole new person these last six months because of you.
Will Traynor: I know and that's why I can't have you tied
to me. I don't want you to miss all the things that someone else can give you. And selfishly I don't what you to look at me one day and feel event the tiniest bit of regret or pity.
Lou Clark: I would never think that!
Will Traynor: You don't know that. I can't watch you wandering around the annex in your crazy dresses. Or see you naked and not be
able to... oh Clarke if you have any idea what I want to do to you right now. I can't live like this.
Lou Clark: Please Will! Please!
Will Traynor: Shh. Listen, this, tonight being with you is the most wonderful thing you could have ever done for me. But I need it to end here. No more pain and exhaustion and waking up every morning already wishing it
was over. It's not going to get better than this. The doctors know it and I know it. When we get back, I'm going to Switzerland so I'm asking you if you feel the things you say you feel. Come with me.
Lou Clark: I thought I was changing your mind!
Will Traynor: Nothing was ever going to change my mind. I promised my parents six months and that's what
I have given them.
Lou Clark: No! Don't say another word. You're so selfish. I tore my heart out in front of you and all you can say is no. And now you want me to come and watch the worst thing you could possibly imagine. Do you have any idea what you're asking? I wish I had never taken this stupid job. I wish I had never met you.
Camilla Traynor: Well... This is Louisa Clark. Nathan will talk you through his equipment.
Will Traynor: I'm here, Mother. You don't have to talk across me. My *brain* isn't paralyzed. Yet.
Will Traynor: [sees Lou in the red dress] Lose the scarf.
Lou Clark: The scarf? Why?
Will Traynor: If you're going to wear a dress like that, Clark, you have to wear it with confidence.
Lou Clark: Something about men?
Will Traynor: Yes, it's french gay porn.
[Lou thinks that Will is being serious]
Will Traynor: You really don't enjoy sarcasm. Do you?
Lou Clark: Sarcasm is fine. I just don't like superiority.
Will Traynor: You must hate me then.
