HENRY, WHEN TWO PERSONS ARE AS

CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AS WE ARE,

ONE KNOWS EVERYTHING

BECAUSE I'M NO GOOD,

ANN.

NOT TO YOU,

NOT TO MYSELF.

I CAN'T WORK...

I CAN'T PLAY.

I CAN'T LIVE.

WE SHOULD NEVER:

HAVE MET.

YOU SHOULD NEVER

HAVE MARRIED ME.

I'M ONLY SPOILING

EVERYTHING FOR YOU,

DAY BY DAY,

HOUR BY HOUR.

I THOUGHT I COULD

MAKE YOU FORGET...

MAKE EVERYTHING GOOD,

WARM FOR YOU AGAIN.

OH, I HOPED.

I TRIED FOR MONTHS.

THE PIANO.

THIS LITTLE FLAT.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

I KNOW THAT NOW.

NO. DON'T SAY THAT.

JUST GO. GO!

I DON'T WANT TO DIE,

HENRY. I DON'T.

DIE? OH, MY DARLING,

I WANT YOU TO:

LIVE ON WITHOUT ME.

I WANT YOU TO:

BE FREE, HAPPY.

WITHOUT YOU? NO.

YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO THAT.

TAKE ME WITH YOU.

LET ME GO WITH YOU.

PLEASE, PLEASE,

WE MUST GO TOGETHER.

WE MUST. WE MUST.

THIS IS A STEAMSHIP, ANN.

MRS. CLIVEDEN-BANKS.

MR. CLIVEDEN-BANKS.

WE'RE SAILING.

BUT WHERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

ARE YOU AFRAID, DEAR?

TELL ME, DARLING...

ARE YOU SORRY?

NO...

I'M NOT.

YOU'RE COLD.

MY HANDS,

THEY ARE STEADY.

I CAN PLAY.

I CAN PLAY AGAIN.

OH, ANN,

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED-

A WORLD TO OURSELVES.

NO SLAUGHTER,

NO HATE AND HOUNDING,

NO BROWNSHIRTS,

NO BLACK SHIRTS.

ALL THE UGLY, TERRIBLE THINGS THA PEOPLE DO TO ONE ANOTHER SHUT OUT.

ALL THE UGLY,

TERRIBLE YEARS FORGOTTEN.

WHY, ANN...

THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED-

A WORLD IN WHICH

THERE WAS ROOM FOR MUSIC...

FOR LOVE.

YOU WEREN'T WORRIED

BEFORE, WERE YOU, DEAR?

IT WAS JUST THE COLD,

THE WIND.

YES, THE WIND.

OH, I'M GLAD, HENRY.

I'M NOT WORRIED.

IN PAIN OR DOUB OR ANYTHING ELSE

THAN ALONE BY MYSELF

IN THE SUNSHINE...

NO MATTER:

WHAT COMES,

NO MATTER:

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

I SAY,

I'M FEELING AWFULLY ODD.

TIRED.

IT'S NO WONDER,

YOUR REVERENCE,

AFTER WHA WE'VE BEEN THROUGH.

YES, OH, YES.

THE EXCITEMENT,

EXHAUSTING.

IT'S FRIGHTFULLY SILLY

OF ME, MRS. MIDGET,

BUT I CAN'T SEEM

TO REMEMBER.

WHY, REVEREND, THERE

ISN'T MUCH TO REMEMBER.

IT'S JUST THE...

THE...

WHY...LET ME THINK

FOR A MOMENT.

I'M...SOMEHOW

ALL CONFUSED.

I- I DON'T KNOW WHY.

THE SUDDEN:

CHANGE, SIR.

OF COURSE.

HOW STUPID OF ME.

THE SEA AIR.

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

I DO BELIEVE:

I OUGHT TO GO TO MY CABIN

AND LIE DOWN FOR A BI BEFORE DINNER.

THERE'S PLENTY

OF TIME, SIR.

I WANTED TO STAY,

TO CHAT AWHILE...

BUT I'M TIRED...

VERY TIRED.

BENJAMIN.

OH, UH, YES.

I'M SORRY. I...
