Harry & Karen's Story (Emma Thompson & Alan Rickman) ｜ Love Actually 20th Anniversary ｜ RomComs

Ride the Christmas party, not my favorite night of the year, and your unhappy job to organize. Tell me. It's basic really. Find a venue, over-order on the drinks, bulk buy the guacamole, and advise the girls to avoid Kevin if they want their breasts unfundled. Wives and family and stuff? Yeah, I mean, not children, but their wives and girlfriends, et cetera. Christ, you haven't got some horrible six-foot-tight t-shirt-wearing boyfriend you'll be bringing, have you? No, I'd just be hanging around the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed. Really? So, how's the Christmas party going? Good. Think I found a venue. Friend of mine works there. What's it like? Good, good. It's an art gallery, full of dark corners for doing dark deeds. Right. Good. Well, I suppose I should take a look at it. You should. What is this we're listening to? Joni Mitchell. I can't believe you still listen to Joni Mitchell. I love her. And true love lasts a lifetime. Joni Mitchell is the woman who taught your cold English wife how to feel. So, are you going to give me something? I thought I made it clear last night. When it comes to me, you can have everything. So, um, what do you need? Something along the stationary line? Are you short of staplers? No. I don't want something I need. I want something I want. Something pretty. Right. Right. Looking for anything in particular, sir? Yes. Um, that necklace there, how much is it? It's £270. Um, all right. I'll have it. Lovely. Would you like it gift-wrapped? Yes, all right. Lovely. Let me just pop it in the box. There. Look, could we be quite quick? Certainly, sir. Ready in the flashiest of flashes. That's great. Not quite. No, this isn't a bag, sir. Really? This is so much more than a bag. Grandissimo. What's that? It's a cinnamon stick, sir. Actually, I really can't wait. Oh, you won't regret it, sir. What a bet. It is but the work of a moment. Here. Almost finished. Almost finished? What else can there be? You're going to dip it in yoghurt, cover it with chocolate buttons? Who knows? We're going to pop it in the Christmas box. But I don't want a Christmas box. But you said you wanted it gift-wrapped. I did, but... This is the final flourish. Can I just pay? All we need now is a sprig of holly. No, no, no, no. No bloody holly. But, sir... Leave it, leave it. Just leave it. Oh, loitering around the jewellery section, I see. No, I was just looking around. My expectations are not that high after 13 years of Mr... Oh, but you always loved Scott. Explain to me again why you're so late. Oh, for heaven's sake, woman. Can't I have any secrets? You've been waiting for hours. It's the first ever preview. It's what? God, that's a surprise. What is it? It's a CD. Tony Mitchell. Wow. To continue your emotional education. Yes. Goodness. That's great. My brilliant wife. Ah, yes. Actually, um... Do you mind if I just absent myself for a second? All that ice cream. Uh... Darling, could you just make sure the kids are ready to go? All right. I'll be back in a minute. Moons and dunes And Ferris wheel The dizzy dancing way That you feel As every Fairy tale Comes true I've looked at love that way But now It's just another show And you leave Them laughing When you And if you can Don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love From both sides And now From give and take And still Somehow It's love's illusions That I Recall I really don't know love I really don't know love at all Tears And fears And feeling proud To say I love you Right out loud Dreams and schemes And circus crowd I've looked at Life that way Oh but now Old friends They're acting strange And they shake Their heads And they tell me that I've changed Well Something's lost But something's gained Tell me If you were in my position What would you do? What position is that? Imagine your husband Bought a gold necklace And come Christmas gave it to somebody else Would you wait around To find out No no no no Would you wait around to find out If it's just a necklace Or if it's sex and a necklace Or if worst of all it's a necklace and Love Would you stay Knowing life would always be a little bit worse Or would you cut and run I am so in the mood A classic fool Yes but you've also made a fool out of me You've made the life I lead Foolish too Darling You well What is that word Orange Come on I've got treats at home Dad's coming
