Dave Barrett : Yes, Jessica.
Jessica Warren : Is there no other way?
Dave Barrett : No.
Jessica Warren : You must hate me.
Dave Barrett : That's not true.
Jessica Warren : I lied to you, betrayed your confidence, and now I've fallen in love with you. It's too late.
Dave Barrett : If only you'd told me sooner.
Jessica Warren : I was afraid, David. Afraid you'd hate me.
Dave Barrett : I don't hate you.
Jessica Warren : You mean that?
Dave Barrett : Yes.
Jessica Warren : I know I don't deserve anything else. But to be left with nothing, to feel that even my love for you has meant something. Oh, David, I can't bare it. Can you forget the other things just for this evening and stay with me til... Oh, David, I'm so afraid...
Dave Barrett : I'll stay, Jessica.
Jessica Warren : Just as if we were two people in love who met in the ordinary way and had no problems at love.
Dave Barrett : Just as if we were two people in love. Period.
