Marie:
  Where's Kaichi?  I've not heard of it.

Zak:
  Relax.  You don't have to pretend to care.  [Marie ceases smiling]  How are you?

Marie:
  Greeting or serious question?

Zak:
  Serious question.

Marie:
  Still "the Machine."  Still broken.

Zak:
  Still waiting.

Marie:
  Waiting, pretending, but now I think so is everyone else.
