Jerry:
[as Charlotte tries to leave] Please, don't yet.

Charlotte:
Well, I'm not going to struggle with you.

Jerry:
That's right. No telling what sort of primitive instincts you might arouse. Isn't it beautiful? [He puts two cigarettes in his mouth, lights them both and then hands one to Charlotte.] Do you believe in immortality?

Charlotte:
I don't know. Do you?

Jerry:
I want to believe that there's a chance for such happiness to be carried on somehow somewhere.

Charlotte:
Are you so happy then?

Jerry:
Close to it. Getting warmer and warmer as we used to say as kids. Remember?

Charlotte:
Look out or you'll get burned we used to say.

Jerry:
Are you afraid of getting burnt if you get too close to happiness?

Charlotte:
Mercy, no. I'm immune to happiness and therefore to burns.

Jerry:
You weren't immune that night on the mountain.

Charlotte:

Jerry:
Only a small part. There are other kinds.

Charlotte:
Such as?

Jerry:

Charlotte, won't you be honest and tell me if you are happy too? Since the night on the boat when you told me about your illness, I-I can't get you out of my mind - or out of my heart either. If I were free, there would be only one thing I want to do - prove you're not immune to happiness. Would you want me to prove it Charlotte? Tell me you would. Then I'll go. [She turns toward him and buries her head in his chest.] Why darling, you are crying.

Charlotte:
I'm such a fool, such an old fool. These are only tears of gratitude - an old maid's gratitude for the crumbs offered.

Jerry:
Don't talk like that.

Charlotte:
You see, no one ever called me darling before. [they kiss]
