Allison: Jiles!
Jiles: Hey? (sits down in a chair next to the bed)
Allison: So this is it, huh?
Jiles: You're not dieing.
Allison: I know, but this is the end of the hour incriments, of the worrying what crazy thing I'll do during the day. That's all gone, and.....
Jiles: What?
Allison: I'm afraid you'll get bored of me.
Jiles: Allison, I could never get bored of you. I love you, and as I recall someone very smart explaining to me, love is not normal. So as long as I love you, I can't be bored.
Allison: But what if you stop loving me?
Jiles: I feel like this whole thing has been a bigger obstacles than a lot of married couples have gone through.
Allison: I agree, this is rough.
Jiles: But, do you believe me that it will all be better when it's done?
Allison: I think so.
Jiles: Well try not to think too hard about it. (starts stroking her hair)
Allison: Are you scared?
Jiles: Am I scared? Shouldn't I be asking you that?
Allison: You should. Because I think the answer may surprise you.
Jiles: Oh really?
Allison: Yes, because I'm not scared. I'm ready, excited even.
Jiles: No, I actually did expect that from you, I think you're far braver than I am.
Allison: I'm not worried. Sleepy though.
Jiles: Well that's the drugs setting in.
Allison: It'll be weird waking up as myself.
Jiles: Well get used to it.
Allison: How's Molly?
Jiles: They've got her sleeping, but she'll have the surgery right after you.
Allison: So I'm the guinia pig?
Jiles: No, you'd be the second person in the world to get this surgery.
Allison: Did the last person make it?
Jiles: Ya, some guy from Canada
Allison: Clearly your research was extreamly extensive.
Jiles: Well mine might not be, but this doctors is. And this hospital has the best surgeons in the area.You are in the most capable hands.
Allison: I trust you. But Jiles, if I don't make it-
Jiles: Allison...
Allison: No, just listen. I know I never said I love you, but that's just because I didn't want to be lieing, because I wasn't sure if I knew what love was. And I feel like I wasn't in the right state of mind to be able to truly love someone, but if I get
Jiles: When you get
Allison: If I get through this, I want you to know that I'll finally be ready to love you, so don't go flirting with one of the nurses or something.
Jiles: Of course not, Allison.
Allison: And I'm sorry if this is all really cliche, but I think I've proven to be a huge cliche in myself. If I die, that's one, if I die now I'll have finished with saying something meaningful that's two, as for other one, that's for you to decide.
Jiles: The manic pixie dream girl thing?
Allison: Yeah. I think if things turn out alright I'll end up that way too. So I'll either be one cliche, or two.
Jiles: I'm kinda rootin' for one.
Allison: I hope you're okay. Because if something were to happen to me, I'd feel horrible knowing I left you not okay.
Jiles: I'm going to be able to start a new life with the girl I love, I'm more than okay.
Allison: But if something happens-
Jiles: It won't, it can't. We've been through too much as is.
Allison: You're right, I think we deserve one more cliche in the movie of our lives.
Jiles: What's that?
Allison: The happy ending.
(a nurse walks in)
Nurse: Excuse me, sir but we're about to take Allison into surgery, you're going to have to leave.
Jiles: Alright, I'll see you afterwards. (kisses Allison on the cheek)
Allison: Nurse?
Nurse: Yes?
Allison: Nevermind....
