Leroy:
I have to ask you a question... and it's an important one so, I want you to think about the answer before you give it to me. Okay?

Samantha:
Okay

Leroy:
When two people love each other - Really... Love each other - but they just can't get it together, when do you get to that point where enough is enough?

Samantha:
[mouth agape, stunned look, realizing he's talking about her] Tha?... oh, well... that's... you know... um... you know it's Over when... okay, I have, like, these psychosomatic, insomniatic manifestations of... uh, well here's the thing about me: I'm a product of my emotions, versus being a product of my environment, like HIM, which he is, exactly, just THAT, environmental... uh uh I need sunshine to grow; that's who I am, and uh with the projection of the... I have goals [pause, smiles, nods to indicate she's done]

Leroy:
That's your answer?

Samantha:
Yah

Leroy:
That's not right. I mean, there's a right answer here, but that's not it

Samantha:
[exhales sharply]

Leroy:
Look, in my business you're surrounded by loneliness, and finality. Now I don't care what your take is on an afterlife, when people die, it's scary. And they go alone. Now the people that I send off, that have experienced love, they're a little less scared. I mean they're still scared, but there's... a calmness to 'em, and I think that comes from the knowledge that somebody, somewhere loved 'em, and cared for 'em, and will miss 'em. Now I see that from time to time, and I am awed by it. I don't think I'd be telling you any of this if it wasn't for Frank. Anyway, it's a loaded question. Look, when two people love each other - Totally, TRUTHfully, all the way Love each other - the answer to that question is simple, especially in your case. When do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never... Never
