FLORENCE (CONT'D)<br />
It’s all about a hydrogen bomb landing<br />
on Oxford.<br />
EDWARD<br />
I can’t think of anything I’d rather<br />
read.<br />
CLOSE IN. As he takes the pamphlet from her, their hands touch.<br />
FLORENCE and EDWARD hold each other’s gaze. TIMOTHY scowls.<br />
EDWARD (CONT’D)<br />
Do you mind if I tell you something?<br />
No.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
TIMOTHY<br />
I say, do we know you?<br />
EDWARD<br />
I just got a first. In history.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
(softly)<br />
Fantastic...<br />
29 EXT. PORT MEADOW. OXFORD. DAY.<br />
29<br />
Half an hour later. EDWARD pushes his bike, FLORENCE walks<br />
beside him.<br />
EDWARD<br />
This is my idea. A series of history<br />
books not about the great men, but<br />
about the minor figures at their side,<br />
the bit part players who fade away.<br />
Like the man who rode non-stop from<br />
London to Edinburgh to tell the king<br />
of Scotland that Elizabeth was dead<br />
and that he was now the king of<br />
England..<br />
FLORENCE<br />
I think that’s brilliant.<br />
A little later, across the meadow.
