PENELOPE AND DESMOMD – “LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH” - SCRIPT

DESMOND [to himself]: I couldn't go through with it.

PENELOPE: What was that?

DESMOND: I can't do this.

PENELOPE: You can't do what?

DESMOND: Us. This. This relationship.

PENELOPE: What are you talking about?

DESMOND: How can I? I - I can't look after you. I haven't got a job. I don't have any -- I can't even afford 5 quid for a bloody photograph. You deserve someone better.

PENELOPE: I know what I deserve. I chose to be with you. I love you.

DESMOND: Love's not enough. Being a good man is not enough.

PENELOPE: What's this about, Des? Where's this coming from?

DESMOND: It's all happening too soon -- you moving in. You're painting rooms; you're changing things. I don't even like red. Why would you leave your flat, your expensive flat...

PENELOPE [slapping Desmond's face]: Don't do that. Don't you pretend you don't care. And don't you dare rewrite history. I left my expensive flat because you were too proud to live there, remember. If you want me to go -- if you want me to leave then don't make this about what I do or don't deserve. And have the decency to admit that you're doing this because you're a coward.

DESMOND: I'm sorry, Pen, but this -- we're not supposed to be together.

[Penelope walks away. Desmond throws the ring into the river.]
