2nd Draft of Script - Different Ending

INT. SHOWROOM/BATHROOM - NIGHT. 6

Cut to:
Man holding a shower radio up to the woman who is still sitting in the bath, behind the screen door. The radio is playing static, ghost noise.

MAN:
It’s not quite up to the job but 
I’m hoping the gesture still 
counts?

The Woman ignores him. 

MAN: (CONT’D)
Look please don’t take it 
seriously. It was nothing. 

The woman is silent. The man walks over and sits on the 
toilet next to the bath.
MAN: (CONT’D)
Come on, can we just forget I said 
anything? We’ve had a laugh haven’t 
we? 
The woman remains unresponsive.
MAN: (CONT’D)
(Sighing)
Look, I’m trying. Give me 
something! Come on we’ll laugh 
about this one day. What a story 
to tell the kids, eh?

WOMAN:
(Sighs. To self)
We were doing so well. 

MAN:
(Laughs)
What?

The Woman begins to climb out of the bath.

WOMAN:
Oh, it’s such a pity. I had high 
hopes for this one. 
Man laughs awkwardly.

WOMAN: (CONT’D)
I thought he had it all: the looks, 
the charm... But he was just like 
all the rest. Trying to leave me.

MAN:
The fuck are you talking about?

WOMAN:
But he couldn’t, he couldn’t this 
time. Yet he still managed to ruin 
it. Mummy’s going to be so
disappointed. 

The Woman walks past him and, facing away, she pulls a key 
out of her bra.

WOMAN: (CONT’D)
Never mind, there’s always next 
time.

She crosses the showroom and reaches the main door. The Man 
soon follows. The Woman appears to be staring outside. 
Suddenly, the click of the door opening sets off an alarm, 
and the woman steps outside. The Man is confused, and rushes 
towards the door as the Woman locks it. With the alarm still 
ringing, the man is stunned and watches her walk away. 
Cut to black.



THE END.
