Venus2006/I

Maurice:
You were a good mother. I rather left you holding the baby, didn't I?

Valerie:
You did do that. Three children under six, to be exact.

Maurice:
I can see it must have been inconvenient.

Valerie:
That you put your own pleasure first?

Maurice:
I did love you. For a time. And for the rest of the time, I was fond of you.

Valerie:
Please, no. No, don't

Maurice:
More than fond of you.

Valerie:
You don't have to. I don't want it.

Maurice:
It's my goodbye to you.

Valerie:
Why, where are you going?

Maurice:
[chuckles] We won't live forever.

Valerie:
No. [kisses his head; they kiss]
