Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe in 'The Danish Girl' (Henrik played by Ben Whishaw).
INT. HENRIK'S HOUSE, DAY
Henrik welcomes Lili at the open door...
HENRIK Come in...
He closes the door against the world. Lili takes in the space. She’s delighted by it -
LILI I don’t have long... Gerda’s seeing Rasmussen.
Henrik gestures for Lili to sit. She settles on the couch.
HENRIK I don’t like all these lies.
LILI She’s very protective.
LILI She’s very protective.
HENRIK Why don’t you just tell her about us?
LILI I couldn’t do that... Lili seems a little panicked...
HENRIK Sorry - I don’t want to upset you.
He sits beside her, settles her...
HENRIK (cont’d) Come here...
HENRIK (cont’d) Come here...
Lili lets herself be drawn closer to him...
He strokes her face. Lili smiles, adoring.
Henrik kisses her and she responds eagerly.
His hand works its way down her body,
between her legs. Lili squirms,
He strokes her face. Lili smiles, adoring.
Henrik kisses her and she responds eagerly.
His hand works its way down her body,
between her legs. Lili squirms,
uncomfortable. He persists...Lili bears it
as long as she can, then gently:
as long as she can, then gently:
LILI No... Henrik...
HENRIK Yes...
LILI No...

Still in the moment of passion...
HENRIK Einar...
Lili recoils, stunned... astonished...
LILI What...?
HENRIK (sweetly) Come on...
it’s alright...
HENRIK Einar...
Lili recoils, stunned... astonished...
LILI What...?
HENRIK (sweetly) Come on...
it’s alright...
But Lili pushes him away, upset, bewildered...
LILI I’m sorry, I don’t understand...
Henrik’s frustrated.
Henrik’s frustrated.
HENRIK Einar... please...
Lili panics, grabs her things to leave,
horribly exposed...
LILI I don’t know what you mean...
I don’t know what you want...
I don’t know what you want...
HENRIK I want you!
LILI No...
HENRIK Yes... wait... Wait!
LILI No...
HENRIK Yes... wait... Wait!
Lili... Lili, come back...
But Lili bolts, away and out through the front
door, leaving Henrik powerless, bereft.
door, leaving Henrik powerless, bereft.
EXT. HENRIK’S HOUSE, DAY
Lili
rushes away, disorientated, along the
row of garish facades, their orange
now seeming grotesque...(x)
