• [last lines] 

  Susan : It's dark now. But they feel each others' breath. And they know all they need to know. They kiss. And they feel each others' tears on their cheeks. And if there had been anybody left to see them, then they would look like normal lovers, caressing each others' faces, bodies close together, eyes closed, oblivious to the world around them. Because that is how life goes on. Like that.

  Susan : [narrating]  There was darkness. There is light. There are men and women. There's food. There are restaurants. Disease. There's work. Traffic. The days as we know them, the world as we imagine the world.

  Susan : Unhappy, on account of a man.

  Michael : I am.

  [They hug] 

• Susan : I'm trying to take care of myself.

  Susan : Don't know if I will.

  Susan : Well, you-you can just start walking home... and I'll follow you.

  [Susan smiles and starts walking. Michael smiles and follows. Susan stops, looks back, sees Michael following and laughs. Michael also laughs]
