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....

(Fade out)
