Marlene DuChard:
Did you think my heart didn't stop last night in the club when I saw you standing there?

Lou Peckinpaugh:
I almost forgot what you looked like. Day by day I erased your face from my mind, little by little, till all I had left... was your right ear and three front teeth on the bottom.

Marlene DuChard:
I still carry your picture in my locket. Naturally, I had to cut off your head in case Paul found it.

Lou Peckinpaugh:
Suddenly it all seems as though it was yesterday. I stood in that train station, I waited for you for over six hours. Then when your letter came, it started to rain. And I opened it, and the ink ran all over the page. The most important letter of my life... I still don't know what the hell it said!

Marlene DuChard:
It said: "Dear Louis, I love you more than life itself. But to run off with you now, when my country is in danger, would be an act of cowardice. I'm marrying Paul DuChard, because - " and that's all I can remember.

Lou Peckinpaugh:
You can't remember why you married him?

Marlene DuChard:
That letter was written a long time ago - I've written thousands of letters since!
