The Truman Show. Deleted Scene.
INT. LAUREN'S APARTMENT - DAY
Truman, and Lauren enter her apartment home in the city, they kiss frantically with passion while
simultaneously walking toward the bedroom.
LAUREN
(in between kisses)
You're free Truman, you're free, and we can finally be together.
Lauren's landline phone rings as they both fall on the bed still in each other's arms kissing.
TRUMAN
Are you going to get that?
Lauren runs over to the phone and rips out the cord from the wall then hurries back to the bed.
LAUREN
No?! Wait maybe we should slow down, we're both in shock, and
obviously trying to make up for lost time, but let's just... oh
Truman, (wraps arms around him) you're free, it's a miracle you
found the strength to escape.
TRUMAN
You're the miracle Lauren, I escaped because of you, my love for you.
LAUREN
I love you, and we're finally together, but Christof will try to get you back
in, there's something you need to know Truman.
TRUMAN
What?
Lauren leans in, and whispers in Truman's ear, he recoils back in disgust, and confusion.
LAUREN
There's more.
Truman gets up off the bed and starts to pace.
TRUMAN
No don't tell me, I don't want to know, I don't want to remember!
Someone knocks loudly on the apartment door. Lauren gets up and checks the peephole.
LAUREN
It's Christof, and he's alone.
They speak to each other through the door remaining closed.
TRUMAN
Don't let that monster in.
CHRISTOF
(speaking loudly)
I assume by now Lauren told you about the unaired footage.
I didn't authorize that, I was angry when I found out, and my number
two went to prison for it. The whole world wants to kill me, and I
came here alone with no security, because the truth is - I love you, and I
want you to trust me, I thought if I risked my life coming here without
protection, well it's a start, a new beginning between us. (beat) Truman?
LAUREN
You can't trust him Truman, not ever.
TRUMAN
I know. I'm going to let him in, I want to finally meet the god who
bought my life. It all makes sense now, that thing you told me anyway.
Truman opens the door, and invites Christof in. Truman looks Christof in his eyes, Lauren gives
Christof the evil eye.
CHRISTOF
Thank you for giving me this chance to start over.
TRUMAN
Now I understand why the other kids called me shark bait. I'm the poster boy
for everything that's wrong in the world.
CHRISTOF
And some good, you helped put away some very bad people none of which
was aired by the way.
LAUREN
It's not your fault Truman, you were under their influence, their
manipulation. He wants you back in, he's here to blackmail you.
TRUMAN
It is my fault, it's all my fault. (beat) It's my fault, because I was born, but
that's ok, because I'm reborn now in the real world, and there's nothing
my fake god can do to change that. I'm free Christof, oh and good luck
with your stock crashing.
Truman physically pushes Christof out the door, and into the hallway, then slams the door shut. He
wraps Lauren in a romantic hug, they both smile while looking longingly into each other's eyes.
TRUMAN
So, we're taking it slow?
