Joy:
We almost made it.

Jack:
Now I don’t want to be somewhere else anymore. Not waiting for anything new to happen. Not looking around the next corner, not the next hill. Here now. That’s enough.

Joy:
That’s your kind of happy, isn’t it?

Jack:
Yes. Yes it is.

Joy:
It is not going to last, Jack.

Jack:
We shouldn’t think about that now. Lets’ not spoil the time we have together.

Joy:

Jack:

Joy:
That I’m going to die and I want to go with you then, too. The only way I can do that is if I’m able to talk to you about it now.

Jack:
I’ll manage somehow. Don’t worry about me.

Joy:
No, I think it can be better than just managing. What I am trying to say is that the pain then is part of the happiness now. That’s the deal.
