At the end of the script, the couple is together and settled, but Mimi senses that the relationship is not the same as it was....
56 INT. MIMI'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 56
Mimi lies in bed, on her side, facing away from Michael, who
is taking his clothes off and preparing to come to bed. She
is solemn and absorbed in thought, staring into space.
MIMI
I don't know what I would have done
if I'd made you stop loving me.
Michael stops preparing for bed and looks at her.
MICHAEL
Mimi. Why do you say that?
MIMI
I don't know. I was just thinking.
MICHAEL
That wouldn't happen.
Michael resumes his activity.
MIMI
I couldn't have borne it if I did.
MICHAEL
Stop it.
There is a pause.
MIMI
Did you finish the article?
MICHAEL
It's finished.
MIMI
I wanted to read it....
MICHAEL
You can still read it.
MIMI
....but I'm too tired.
MICHAEL
Tomorrow.
Michael gets into bed and starts to get under the covers.
Mimi still faces away from him.
MIMI
I love you so much. I can't tell
you how much.
Michael leans over to her and caresses her shoulder in
response. Mimi doesn't move; she is lost in her thoughts.
Then Michael leans back and turns off the NIGHT LAMP.
