Nowhere Boy
After looking through the Nowhere Boy post that was recently posted, I gained interest in it. I had heard about it, but nothing more. I enjoy biopics on the lads, especially teenage Beatles (Backbeat, In His Life...), but sadly many of them have faults. I've only skimmed through the script, but it seems pretty good so far. Paul isn't softened down this time. This bit in particular grabbed my attention...
206 Ext. Blomefield Road/Julia's House -- Continuous
Paul
John!
Paul grabs JOHN'S shoulder stops him. JOHN turns round, aggression burning through, fists clenched.
PAUL (CONT'D)
You wanna hit me too?
JOHN on the verge
Paul (CONT'D)
Hit me!
BANG!
John lands a straight right in PAUL's face sending him crashing into the road. PAUL stays down - dazed. Blood spilling from his mouth.
JOHN remorseful, rushes down to see if he's OK.
JOHN
Paul, I'm sorry mate.
JOHN picks PAUL up in his arms. Hugs him. Then suddenly that human connection sets him off - A HUG.
JOHN (CONT'D)
I'm sorry...
John's floodgates open. It all comes out. All the pain and anger, the tears that have been kept in for so long.
PAUL hugs him back.
JOHN (CONT'D)
I was just getting to know her.
PAUL
I know.
JOHN
She's never coming back.
PAUL
No...no she's not.
On JOHN and PAUL in each others arms, lieing in the street - crying.
Does anyone know if there's any truth in this (I somehow doubt it)? I'm assuming it's shortly after Julia's death. It's so heartwarming. I don't slash them (nothing against it), but their friendship is one of the most beautiful things I've heard of. You can download the whole script here, if you're interested. Lastly, have a pic:
I know it's been posted several times; just thought it'd go along with the theme.
