Alice In The Style Of Brokeback Mountain
INT. MEL'S DINER - DAY
Alice is wiping down the counter, her eyes focused but distant. Flo walks in, her gaze meeting Alice's.
FLO
(slightly hesitant)
Alice, we need to talk.
ALICE
(turning to Flo)
Sure, what's on your mind?
Flo takes a deep breath, mustering the courage to speak her truth.
FLO
(softly)
Alice, you know we've been working side by side for years, and... well, I can't keep pretending anymore.
Alice's brow furrows in confusion.
ALICE
(confused)
Pretending? Flo, I don't understand.
Flo takes a step closer, her voice trembling with vulnerability.
FLO
(whispering)
Alice, I... I love you. I've loved you for a long time.
Alice's eyes widen in surprise. She takes a moment to process Flo's confession.
ALICE
(stammering)
Flo, I... I never knew. I never even considered...
FLO
(interjecting)
I know, Alice. We've both tried to bury these feelings, to pretend they didn't exist. But we can't deny who we are any longer.
Alice's gaze softens, her heart torn between the familiarity of her life and the new possibility before her.
ALICE
(whispering)
Flo, this is complicated. We have jobs, lives here... what would everyone say?
FLO
(teary-eyed)
Alice, I don't care about anyone else. I care about you. And if you feel the same way, we can find a way to make it work.
Alice takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and longing.
ALICE
(whispering)
Flo, I never thought I'd say this, but... I love you too.
They lean in, their lips meeting in a passionate, yet tender, kiss. The world around them fades away as they embrace their truth, ready to navigate the complexities of their newfound love.
FADE OUT.
