Helene:
Have you come to say goodbye?

Sappho:
Goodbye?

Helene:
Aren't you going home? To America?

Sappho:
I am home. This is Lesbos... and I am a lesbian. I've always known who I am. This is my home.

Helene:
It's so boring here. You are welcome to it.

Sappho:
It's like always a never. The sea breaking against the rocks. The one always wanting. It's the hardest thing loving someone who doesn't love you.

Helene:
I'm sorry. It's not my fault.

Sappho:
Come and be my girl. To feel your face and hear your footsteps, I'd give the world.

Helene:
I am a woman now. I have made love to you and your husband. I want a husband of my own and children. You can't give me what I want.
