The Next Ten Minutes - Anna Kendrick, Jeremy Jordan

No, that one’s Jerry Seinfeld.

That one’s John Lennon there.

No, the Dakota--

The San Remo is up a few blocks.

Have you been inside the

Museum?

We should go.

Meet the dinosaurs.

Cathy.

HE takes a ring out of his jeans pocket.

Will you share your life with me

For the next ten minutes?

For the next ten minutes:

We can handle that.

We could watch the waves,

We could watch the sky,

Or just sit and wait

As the time ticks by,

And if we make it 'til then,

Can I ask you again

For another ten?

CATHERINE appears, wearing her wedding gown.

And if you in turn agree

To the next ten minutes,

And the next ten minutes,

'Til the morning comes,

Then just holding you

Might compel me to

Ask you for more.

There are so many lives I want to share with you--

I will never be complete until I do.

JAMIE slides the ring on to CATHERINE’s finger.

CATHERINE:

I am not always on time.

Please don’t expect that from me.

I will be late,

But if you can just wait,

I will make it eventually.

Not like it’s in my control,

Not like I’m proud of the fact,

But anything other than being exactly on time, I can do.

I don’t know why people run.

I don’t know why things fall through.

I don’t know how anybody survives in this life

Without someone like you.

I could protect and preserve,

I could say no and goodbye,

But why, Jamie, why?

I want to be your wife.

I want to bear your child.

I want to die

Knowing I

Lived a long, full life in your arms.

That I can do,

Forever, with you.

THEY are standing at the altar together.

JAMIE: (CATHERINE:)

Will you share your life with me (Forever.)

For the next ten lifetimes?

(Forever, Jamie…)

For a million summers

BOTH:

'Til the world explodes,

'Til there’s no one left

Who has ever known us apart!

JAMIE:

There are so many dreams

I need to see with you…

CATHERINE:

There are so many years

I need to be with you…

JAMIE:

I will never be complete

CATHERINE:

I will never be alive--

JAMIE:

I will never change the world

Until I do.

CATHERINE:

I do.

JAMIE:

I do.

CATHERINE:

I do.

BOTH:

I do…

CATHERINE, in a boat on the lake in Central Park.

CATHERINE:

Is that one John Lennon?

That’s the San Remo.

Isn’t that the Museum?

Can we go see the dinosaurs?
