INT. SAVOR ROOM - DAY

William runs, searching. At last finds the room, and enters. 

INT. LANCASTER ROOM - DAY

Huge room -- full of press.  Row after row of journalists,

cameras at the front, TV cameras at the back. Anna clearly

gives press conferences very rarely, because this one is

positively presidential.  She sits at a table at the end of the

room, beside Karen: on her other side is Jeremy, the PR boss,

firmly marshalling the questions. 

                         JEREMY

          Yes... You -- Dominic.

                         QUESTIONER 1

          How much longer are you staying in the UK then?

                         ANNA

          No time at all. I fly out tonight.

She's in a slightly melancholic and therefore honest mood.

                        JEREMY

          Which is why we have to round it up now.

          Final questions.

He points at a journalist he knows.

                         QUESTIONER 2

          Is your decision to take a year off

          anything to do with the rumours about

          Jeff and his present leading lady?

                         ANNA

          Absolutely not.

                         QUESTIONER 2

          Do you believe the rumours?

                         ANNA

          It's really not my business any more.

          Though I will say, from my experience,

          that rumours about Jeff... do tend to

          be true.

They love that answer, and all scribble in their note books.

Next question comes from someone straight right next to

William.

                         QUESTIONER 3

          Last time you were here, there were some

          fairly graphic photographs of you and a

          young English guy -- so what happened

          there?

                          ANNA

          He was just a friend -- I think we're

          still friends.

                         JEREMY

          Yes, the gentleman in the pink shirt.

He is pointing straight at William, who has his hand up.

                         WILLIAM

          Yes -- Miss Scott -- are there any

          circumstances in which you two might be

          more than just friends?

Anna sees who it is asking.

                         ANNA

          I hoped there might be -- but no, I'm

          assured there aren't.

                        WILLIAM

          And what would you say...

                         JEREMY

          No, it's just one question per person.

                          ANNA

          No, let him... ask away. You were

          saying?

                         WILLIAM

          Yes, I just wondered whether if it

          turned out that this... person...

                         OTHER JOURNALIST 

          (to William)

          His name is Thacker.

                         WILLIAM

          Thanks. I just wondered if Mr. Thacker

          realized he'd been a daft prick and got

          down on his knees and begged you to

          reconsider, whether you would...

          reconsider. 

We cut to Max, Bella, Bernie and Honey, all watching. Then back

to Anna.

                         ANNA

          Yes, I'm pretty sure I would.

                         WILLIAM

          That's very good news. The readers of

          'Horse and Hound' will be absolutely

          delighted.

Anna whispers something to Jeremy. 

                         JEREMY

          Dominic -- if you'd like to ask your

          question again?

                         QUESTIONER 1

          Yes -- Anna -- how long are you

          intending to stay here in Britain?

Pause. Anna looks up at William. He nods.

                          ANNA

          Indefinitely.

They both smile -- suddenly the press gets what's going on --

music -- noise -- they all turn and flash, flash, flash photos

of William.  Max and Bella kiss. Bernie kisses a total stranger.

Spike finally makes it -- he's bright red from running.

                         SPIKE

          What happened?

                         HONEY

          It was good.

Honey hugs him. It's a new experience for Spike.

Cut to William's face -- flash after flash -- still looking at

Anna. 　They are both smiling.

INT./EXT. THE HEMPEL ZEN GARDEN WITH MARQUEEN - DAY

Anna and William at their wedding -- they kiss and walk into the

crowd.

Honey, a bridesmaid in peach satin -- she is surrounded by at

least four other bridesmaids, all under five.

Nearby, Tony standing, glowing, beside his fabulous,

pyramidical wedding cake.

William's mother is not quite happy with how he's looking. She

tries to brush his hair.

Max, dressed in the most devastating Bond-like white tuxedo is

dancing with Anna -- thrilled. He does a rather flashy little

move.　  Cut to Bella who is watching and laughing.

Martin, in an awkward tweed suit, is jiggling to the beat of a

song, entirely happy in the corner.

EXT. LEICESTER SQUARE - NIGHT

A huge premier -- screaming crowds -- Anna and William get out

of the car, she holding his hand -- looking ultimately gorgeous

-- he in a black tie that doesn't quite fit. He's startled.

EXT. GARDEN - DAY

A pretty green communal garden. 　Children are playing, watched

by mothers, one of whom holds a new baby in a papoose. A very

old couple wander along slowly.

A small tai chi group moves mysteriously. And as the camera

glides, it passes a couple sitting on a single, simple wooden

bench overlooking the garden. He is reading, she is just

looking out, totally relaxed, holding his hand, pregnant.

It is William and Anna.

THE END
