WAITER ONE<br />
We do the silver service on the beef,<br />
sir, and then we all retire.<br />
EDWARD decides to be bold. He takes the glazed cherry off his<br />
melon and offers it to FLORENCE with an ironic flourish. She<br />
sucks it from his fingers, holds his gaze. There is something a<br />
little forced in her performance. The WAITERS pretend not to<br />
see.<br />
EDWARD<br />
Any more of those?<br />
WAITER ONE<br />
Ain’t none sir. Sorry sir.<br />
CUT TO:<br />
A minute later. The WAITERS are busy at the trolley. EDWARD<br />
leans forward, whispers.<br />
EDWARD<br />
I love you.<br />
And I...<br />
FLORENCE<br />
But WAITER ONE is at her elbow with the beef and serves the<br />
sodden vegetables while WAITER TWO piles a sideboard with<br />
trifle, cheese, chocolates.<br />
The WAITERS are ready to leave.<br />
WAITER TWO<br />
You ever get the need for something<br />
sir, pull on the string. Hard.<br />
WAITER ONE<br />
And have a very nice one sir.<br />
EDWARD<br />
Good night.<br />
But the WAITERS linger.<br />
WAITER TWO<br />
That is, a very nice evening, sir.
