Ben Affleck - Gone Girl: Amy's Vigil lyrics

EXT-TOWN PARK-EVENING A vigil for Amy. The park glows under the camera lights. Journalists practicing live shots. Nick is barely out of the car when he's besieged by reporters. WHERE IS YOUR WIFE? etc. Nick reaches the platform. He scans the crowd for Go. Not there. Rand and Marybeth give him cool, for-the-camera hugs. Volunteers light candles. Amy stares at Nick from a 100 FIND AMY T-shirts. Andie enters the crowd, worming her way up. Boney is scanning the crowd, drinking her coffee. Go enters, wearing a FIND AMY DUNNE T-shirt. Gets a candle. She and Nick catch each other's eye. She gives a weak smile. Nick grabs the mike. NICK: My wife, Amy Elliott Dunne, has been missing now for three days. A scan of the crowd, dipping in on conversations: FRIEND ONE: I think he's cute. FRIEND TWO : I think he's creepy. Go shushes her. Noelle Hawthrone, visibly pregnant, begins cutting through the candle-lit crowd, towing triplets. NICK (O.S.): Amy is my heart. She is funny, charming and wise. She is my sun. NICK suddenly meets eyes with ANDIE as he's saying: NICK (CONT'D): I love you, Amy. ANDIE (mouthing): a**hole! Noelle reaches the stage. NOELLE: Nick! He puts a hand over the mike. She grabs it from him—he almost tries to grab back but notes the cameras trained on him. NOELLE (CONT'D): I am Noelle Hawthorne. I am Amy's best friend. Her words—friend, friend—echo out. Her kids begins to cry. NOELLE (CONT'D): This man, Nick Dunne, needs to tell us what he did to his wife. Wife, wife, wife echoes. Boney is frantically giving Noelle the STOP TALKING sign. Noelle glares back at her. NOELLE (CONT'D): His pregnant wife! Did you tell them that, Nick? Pregnant! Pregnant pregnant pregnant echoes. PANDEMONIUM. Nick is trapped in the flash of a hundred bulbs. Journalists begin screaming their questions: Nick, was Amy pregnant? Nick is this true? The crowd is yelling too. Go stands stunned, melting wax dripping from her candle. Andie runs away. PANDEMONIUM. TOTAL CHAOS.
