Vincent x Catherine 'Cold Turkey' scene 3: fire escape (end)

• *Vincent knocks on Catherine's bedroom window. She opens the window*
• VINCENT: Hey.
• CATHERINE: I'm actually just heading out.
• VINCENT: Oh, this won't be long. Um, I just...I need to say thank you.
• CATHERINE: For what? For this? *hands him a bag* Your photos and letters from Alex's apartment.
• *Vincent takes the bag and looks into it.*
• CATHERINE: You know, I keep trying to move on, but it's kind of difficult with you.
• VINCENT: I don't want you to. *puts stuff back in bag, sets it aside* Catherine, the things that I said about the way that you see me, it was wrong, okay? It's my issue. I just...sometimes I wish so badly I wasn't what I am. Catherine, I know that I can't be with someone who doesn't know everything about me.
• CATHERINE: She does now.
• VINCENT: Okay, who doesn't accept everything about me.
• CATHERINE: Vincent, I can't be your second choice.
• VINCENT: You're not.
• CATHERINE: Really? Because if Alex had accepted you, you...you'd be with her right now in that ridiculously romantic cabin.
• VINCENT: Not happily. It was never about taking off with Alex. It was about a better future for me. Okay, but I know now that that better future isn't her, Catherine, it's you. I will do whatever it takes to make this right.
• CATHERINE: Vincent, there's nothing you can do. Obviously now that Muirfield's back and Alex knows, I will help, but...
• VINCENT: But you and me...
• CATHERINE: I need to protect myself right now.
• HEATHER: *calls from another room* Cat, come on.
• CATHERINE: And I need to be there for someone who's always there for me.
• VINCENT: Of course. Hey...I'm not going anywhere, okay?
