Day 7: The most heartbreaking scene.
Wesley/Fred (ANGEL)
After years of Wesley’s love for Fred being unrequited, he finally got the girl, only to have her die in his arms before their second date. The first time I saw this scene, it didn’t have the full impact, because I believed Angel’s team would find a way to bring Fred back. But now, I can’t watch it without crying my eyes out, not just for Fred, but for Wes too. In fact, I can't even read the transcript without crying!
FRED
(pulls back, looks down)
Would you have loved me?
WESLEY
I've loved you since I've known you. No, that's not-I think maybe even before.
FRED
(leans her forehead against his)
I'm so sorry.
WESLEY
No, no, no.
FRED
(chokes on her coughs, crying)
I need you to talk to my parents. They have to know I wasn't scared, that it was quick. That I wasn't scared.
(starts convulsing)
Oh, God.
WESLEY
(grabs her, looks into her eyes)
You have to fight. You don't have to talk, just concentrate on fighting. Just hold on.
FRED
(holding onto Wes's shoulders, looks into his eyes, quivering)
I'm not scared. I'm not scared. I'm not scared.
(her grip softens, she can't hold herself up)
Please, Wesley, why can't I stay?
(she goes still as Wes holds her in his arms)
WESLEY
(looks at her limp body in his arms)
Please...
(hugs her)
Please...
