MAX: Come on in. Vague food crisis.

William and Anna move along the corridor to the kitchen.

BELLA: Hiya – sorry – the guinea fowl is proving more complicated than expected.

WILLIAM: He’s cooking guinea fowl?

BELLA: Don’t even ask.

ANNA: Hi.

BELLA: Hi. Good Lord – you’re the spitting image of…

WILLIAM: Bella – this is Anna.

BELLA: Right. (pause)

MAX: Okay. Crisis over.

WILLIAM: Max. This is Anna.

MAX: Hello, Anna ahm… Scott – have some wine.

ANNA: Thank you.

Door bell goes. Max opens the door – it is Honey.

MAX: Hi.

She does a little pose, having worn a real party dress.

MAX: Yes, Happy Birthday. Look, your brother has brought this girl, and ahm…

HONEY: Hi guys. (sees Anna) Oh holy f***.

WILLIAM: Hun – this is Anna. Anna – this is Honey – she’s my baby sister.

ANNA: Hiya.

HONEY: Oh God this is one of those key moments in life, when it’s possible you can be really, genuinely cool – and I’m going to fail a hundred percent. I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you’re the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do you think?

ANNA: Ahm… I think that sounds – you know – lucky me. Happy Birthday.

HONEY: Oh my God. You gave me a present. We’re best friends already. Marry Will – he’s a really nice guy and then we can be sisters.

ANNA: I’ll think about it.

It’s amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word

You can light up the dark.

Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Let’s me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear
People talking out loud (oooh).
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd).

Try as they may, they can never define
What’s been said between your heart and mine.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Let’s me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
[Album version:] You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.
[Live version:] ‘Cause you say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.

[Chorus:]

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me.
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me.

[Album version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
[Live version:] The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
[Album version:] You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.
[Live version:] ‘Cause you say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

That smile on your face,

[Album version:] The truth in your eyes,
[Live version:] The look in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Let’s me know that you need me.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

[Live version additional ending:]

The smile on your face,
The look in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Let’s me know that you need me.

She may be the face I can’t forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one’s allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
But I’ll remember till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for through the rough in many years
Me, I’ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is she

She She
