Now Is Good

[first lines]

Tessa Scott:
Moments. This is one. This right here, right now, is definitely a moment.

Zoey:
Tessa?

Tessa Scott:
Anything could happen next.

Mother:
Tessa, promise me you'll always use a condom. I know the smell of rubber can be off-putting, but then, so is gonorrhea.

Tessa Scott:
Please stop. My panic attack is having a panic attack.

Mother:
And don't have casual sex.

Tessa Scott:
Really?

Mother:
No, darling. You must always, always try as hard as you can.

Cal:
When Tessa dies, can we go on a holiday?

Cal:
Will I still be your brother when you're dead?

Tessa Scott:
I'll still be around.

Adam:
Do you always answer a question with a question?

Tessa Scott:
Does that annoy you?

Adam:
Did that girl hurt you?

Tessa Scott:
Other way round. I caught her fist a good one with my chin, then whacked her right in the knee with my nose.

Father:
It's a terrible day in a man's life when his daughter brings a boy home. I always thought if I killed the first one, word would get around.

Tessa Scott:
Is this really happening?

Adam:
Yeah.

Tessa Scott:
I don't know what's real.

Adam:
I am.

Tessa Scott:
You're going to have a life again.

Father:
I never had a life. I was an accountant.

Cal:
Bye Tess. Haunt me if you like. I don't mind.

Tessa Scott:
Our life is a series of moments. Let them all go. Moments. All gathering towards this one.

Mother:
You should say goodbye, Cal.

Cal:
No.

Mother:
Come on, love, it's important.

Cal:
It might make her die.

Tessa Scott:
What's the worst that can happen?

Adam:
It'll hurt.

Tessa Scott:
It already hurts.

Adam:
What do you want from me, Tess?

Tessa Scott:
Night time, sleeping together, waking up together, breakfast.

Adam:
What do you really want?

Tessa Scott:
I want you to be with me in the dark, to hold me, to keep loving me, to help me when I get scared, to go right to the edge and see what's there.

Adam:
And what if I get it wrong?

Tessa Scott:
It's impossible to get wrong.

I want to be with me in the dark, to hold me, to keep loving me, to help me when I get scared..... to come right to the edge and see what's there....

Adam:

Would you like to go on a date with me? Just it occurred to me we've never actually been on a date, like a proper one, and I thought that maybe we should. You know, it doesn't have to be right tonight, like now, but, you know, the offer's there, for anytime. You just let me know when suits.

Tessa:

Now is good.
