Almut: I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping with an invalid before.
Tobias: I suppose I’m a bit, um, out of practice. I’m also just suddenly aware I… I don’t, I don’t have any kind of prophylactic on me.
Almut: Such low expectations.
Two English actors playing Brits? I love it.
I need more rom coms from Florence Pugh.
Almut: What’s the rush?
Tobias: Because I’m worried that there’s a very distinct and real possibility that I am about to fall in love with you.
Yelppppp Someone reenact this to me.
This scene reminds me of
After their meet-cute at the hospital (aside from the crash itself), Almut is having her smoothie and asks Tobias, in neck brace, what he does for a living. He answers, “Weetabix sales” and she casually responds being a chef and preparing to open a anglo-bavarian restaurant.
This introductory exchange is similar to the final scene in The Drama (2026), where Charlie sits with a beaten-up face while Emma (re)introduces herself rather than accept the apology. Both female leads play the chill and calm partner.
I jotted some thoughts on this film here.
