AUTHOR'S NOTES:

JACK: Why do you never call me by my name?
SAM: Huh?
JACK: My name. You never say my name.
SAM: Sure I do, all the time.
JACK: No, you say Colonel. You say Sir. But you never say my name.
SAM: Because it's not appropriate.
JACK: Appropriate?
SAM: Yes.
JACK: Why?
SAM Because.
JACK: Because why?
SAM: Because you're my superior officer.
JACK: I still have a name though.
SAM: I know that.
JACK: So why can't you just use it?
SAM. Because I'm not supposed to.
JACK: What if I told you, you were?
SAM: But I'm not.
JACK: Sam!
SAM: What?
JACK: Just say it.
SAM. No.
JACK: Why?
SAM: Because I can't.
JACK: Sure you can. It's easy. Here, I'll show you. J-A-C-K. J-A- C-K. See, it just rolls off the tongue. J-A-C-K.
SAM: Colonel, can we please not talk about this...

JACK: No, I want to hear you say it. I've never heard you say it and I want you to.
SAM: I told you I can't.
JACK: Why not?
(She stops and looks him in the eye).
SAM: Because the minute I say it, the minute I acknowledge that you're real. The minute I say it you're not my commanding officer anymore. The minute I say it I can't hide my feelings. (She pauses and takes a breath then whispers). Because the minute I say it is the minute that I realise that I'm in love with you and that I can't have you.
(He just stares at her, shocked).
JACK: Sam. (He whispers).
(He walks towards her and takes her in his arms. He brushes his lips against hers, then kisses her softly before pulling away and looking into her eyes).
SAM: Jack.
