Why Wear a Poppy (2012) Movie Script
1
[Indistinct chatter]
[David:] Hey watch out!
[Billy:] Move!
Wait!
What is that?
Are you wearing
a flower?
Who's that?
[David:] Hey that's mine!
[Billy:] Did your mom
give you that?
[GRINS]
I mean seriously,
look at this.
Come on,
it's not even real.
[Bell: RINGING]
[Mrs Harrison:] All right class,
please take your seats.
So today we are going to
continue where we left off
yesterday in our
history presentations.
And,
according to this
next we have
David.
So, David what are you going
to share with the class?
[David:]
I brought a poppy because
it's one of the symbols
of Remembrance Day.
[Mrs Harrison:] I noticed it
earlier on your jacket.
Can you show the class
what a poppy looks like?
[Billy:] Oh Yeah!
Sure, Mrs. Harrison.
[All: LAUGHING]
[Mrs Harrison:] All right.
Settle down!
Wow David,
how very fitting.
Remembrance Day
is in a few days.
Now does
anybody know
why we wear poppies
on Remembrance Day?
[David:]
I do.
And I'd like to share
a poem that explains why.
[Mrs Harrison:]
Wonderful.
[Music: PIANO
(during the whole poem)]
[David:] Please wear
a poppy, the lady said,
and held one forth,
but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched
as she offered them there,
and her face was old
and lined with care,
beneath the scars
the years had made,
there remained a smile
that refused to fade.
A boy came whistling
down the street,
bouncing along
on carefree feet.
His smile was full of joy
and fun.
Lady,
may I have one?
When she pinned it on,
he turned to say:
why do we wear
a poppy today?
The lady smiled
in a wistful way
and answered:
[Lady:] Today is
Remembrance Day.
That poppy
is a symbol
of the gallant men
who died in our war.
Because they did,
you and I are free.
That is why we wear a poppy,
you see.
I had a boy
about your size,
with golden hair
and
big, blue eyes.
He used to jump and play
and shout,
free as a bird,
he would
race about.
As time went on,
he learned
and grew,
and soon became a man,
as you will too.
He was fine
and strong,
with a boyish smile,
and seemed with us
such a little while.
When war broke out
he went away.
I still remember
his face that day.
When he smiled at me
and said Goodbye,
I'll be back soon,
so please don't cry.
All I could do
was wait
and pray.
His letters told
of the awful fight
I still remember it
in my dreams at night.
The tanks
the guns
the cruel barbed wire,
the mines,
the bullets,
the bombs,
the fire.
'Til at last,
the war was won
and that is why
we wear a poppy, son.
[David:]
Thanks lady,
I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound
like an awful fight.
But your son
did he
come back all right?
A tear rolled down
each faded cheek,
she shook her head,
but didn't speak
I slunk away
in a sort of shame,
and if you were me,
you'd have done the same.
For our thanks, in giving,
is oft delayed,
though our freedom was bought
and thousands paid.
And so, when we see
a poppy worn,
let us reflect
on the burden borne
by those who gave
their very all
when asked to answer
their country's call.
That we in home
in peace
might live.
Then wear a poppy.
Remember
and Give.
