SCENE 13 - Cleaning INT. NOCT’S APARTMENT - NIGHT Somewhat later than planned, Ignis, Prompto and Gladio are busy helping Noct clean his apartment and prepare to move out. Noct’s remaining possessions lie strewn about in haphazard piles, and while progress is being made, the place looks messier than ever. Prompto is rather half-heartedly running a cloth over a bookshelf when something catches his eye. PROMPTO Whoa! Never thought I’d see this again. Noct looks up from behind a nearby pile. NOCT What? Prompto retrieves a comic book from an open box next to the bookshelf. PROMPTO This! I never noticed, but you’ve got a ton of comics! NOCT Some of ‘em are yours, too. Prompto shoots him a disbelieving look. PROMPTO Seriously? Noct wanders over and withdraws another comic book from the box. NOCT Hey, look at this. PROMPTO Oh! Man, I really wanted to read it one more time. NOCT Why don’t you? Prompto grins mischievously. PROMPTO If you insist. GLADIO Hold it. You don’t mean now, do you? IGNIS Neither of you has made any progress in cleaning. I understand you’d like to reminisce, but now isn’t the time. Ignis lets out an exasperated sigh. PROMPTO But isn’t all this gonna get taken to the Citadel? GLADIO Yeah. PROMPTO Well, once that happens, I’ll never be able to see it again! GLADIO Can’t you just take what you want? Prompto gives Noct a hopeful look. PROMPTO Can I? NOCT No. GLADIO It’s all going in a box you won’t open again anyway. Noct is unmoved. NOCT I’ll open it and check. Thoroughly. IGNIS And who knows how long that will take. PROMPTO See? GLADIO Just give up and go back to cleaning. They all resume their respective tasks, and the room falls silent. INT. NOCT’S APARTMENT - NIGHT (LATER) It is some while later and the room looks unrecognizable, with only a few larger items of furniture remaining in place. Gladio deposits a final box on the pile by the door and turns to admire their handiwork. GLADIO Looks like we got it all squared away. PROMPTO Finally! I never realized how big this place is. IGNIS And this is the last you’ll see of it. When we return, Noct will begin his new life. PROMPTO Hard to imagine. GLADIO His Highness will be married. NOCT It hasn’t hit me at all. I’m sure it’ll all work out, though. PROMPTO You mean you aren’t nervous? Noct considers this for a moment, betraying no hint of concern. NOCT Hmm... About waking up on time? Ignis smirks. IGNIS Certainly. PROMPTO Yeah, good point. Gladio shakes his head. GLADIO You haven’t thought about it, have you? NOCT Give me a little more credit than that. Still, thinking about it’s not gonna change much, is it? Gladio nods sympathetically, conceding Noct’s point. GLADIO I get ya. PROMPTO Not easy being the prince, huh? Ignis tries to lighten the mood. IGNIS First things first: completing our journey. NOCT Right. PROMPTO I can’t believe it’s tomorrow already. I’m so excited! Did you study up ‘bout the outside? IGNIS Briefly. I hadn’t time to dedicate myself thoroughly to the task. GLADIO Yeah, too busy with your own preparations. PROMPTO I had a look at some maps. But even if you ask around, nobody really knows anything. NOCT It’s a whole new world out there, huh... PROMPTO There’re all kinds of wild animals on the outside, right? Think they’ll just walk on up to us? GLADIO Dunno. All I heard is that it’s different than Insomnia-least that’s what my old man says. IGNIS The culture is similar to that of Insomnia thirty years ago. Like a sprawling landscape from an old photograph. PROMPTO I’m so psyched, but so nervous! Don’t know if I can sleep like this. NOCT Well, if you can’t sleep... Noct pulls out his phone and taps the screen, booting up his favorite game. PROMPTO Great idea! Prompto follows suit. IGNIS You can’t be serious. At a time like this? GLADIO Well, why not? We gotta be there for His Highness, don’t we? Gladio joins in. NOCT Besides, this is the last time we can do this here. With a slightly theatrical sigh and a resigned shake of the head, Ignis pulls out his own phone and begins playing.
INT. NOCT’S APARTMENT - NIGHT Somewhat later than planned, Prompto and Gladio are busy helping Noct clean his apartment and prepare to move out. Noct’s remaining possessions lie strewn about in haphazard piles, and while progress is being made, the place looks messier than ever. Noct: I know where everything is, no big deal. _Prompto is rather half-heartedly running a cloth over a bookshelf when something catches his eye._ Prompto: Whoa! Never thought I’d see this again. _Noct looks up from behind a nearby pile._ Noct: What? _Prompto retrieves a comic book from an open box next to the bookshelf._ Prompto: This! I never noticed, but you’ve got a tonne of comics! Noct: Some of ‘em are yours, too. _Prompto shoots him a disbelieving look._ Prompto: Seriously? _Noct wanders over and withdraws another comic book from the box._ Noct: Hey, look at this.

Noct: Besides, this is the last time we can do this here. _With a slightly theatrical sigh,_ [Ignis _theatrically_ sighs] _and a resigned shake of the head, Ignis pulls out his own phone and begins playing._ (i took it from the prologue at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NeoKBIaxPeo.html. they skip some narrator's lines and also some minor deviation of words in the script. if you watch the original it really has a different vibe.)
Ok would it not be hilarious if the narrator just ended it like “several hours later they were in a pile naked. They didn’t think the night would end like this.”
