Lovers Never Die
1
In quiet restaurant, evening
The man, Luke Mendez, nervously holds a small box containing a ring. The woman, Eleanor Roosevelt, sips her wine, oblivious to Luke's intentions.
Luke Mendez
[nervously] Eleanor, from the moment I met you, I knew you were extraordinary. Your intelligence, passion and beauty captivate me. [He opens the box, revealing the ring.] Will you marry me?
Eleanor Roosevelt
[surprised, then dismissive] Luke, you're sweet, but terribly misguided. [She sets her wine down, her expression icy.] I'm a woman of substance, not some fairy tale princess waiting to be rescued.
Luke Mendez
[confused] What do you mean?
Eleanor Roosevelt
[cruelly] You're dull, Luke. Your ambitions are pedestrian. I have bigger plans than settling for someone like you. [She pushes her chair back, standing up.] I'll pass.
Luke Mendez
[hurt, shocked] Eleanor, please...
Eleanor Roosevelt
[interrupting] Spare me the sentimentality, Luke. You're not the man I need. [She walks away, leaving Luke alone, heartbroken.]
