Script

INT. KITCHEN, ADAM'S FLAT. - NIGHT

Adam kneels over Shaun’s dead body; there is a knife in his chest. There is blood all over the floor and on Adams hands.

ADAM
NO! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Adam hangs his head.

INT. COUNCLING ROOM - DAY

Rachel and Adam are sitting down talking.

RACHEL
How did you feel when you found out
that Louise was cheating on you?

ADAM
I felt so devastated, it was as if
everything I thought she was and everything
she meant to me was a lie. It made me feel
sick having to face the thought that she would
be with someone else. I thought that she was
so special and what we had was something to be
cherished. It was an ultimate betrayal; she
broke all my perceptions of what she was like.
It was like my worst fears had come true and I
felt trapped in this overpowering grief that
all the memories we had and all that I gave
to her had meant nothing. I was lost, I just
didn't know what to do, where to go from there.

RACHEL
What memories do you have of the good times you
spent together?

you should think about hosting this script elsewhere and linking to it instead of sticking it all here.
