As Time Goes By1992

[last lines]

Jean:
What made you think of the little rosewood pencil box?

Lionel:
Just came to me. You?

Jean:
Yes, the same. You bought it for me in an antique shop in... where?

Lionel:
Chalfont St Giles. Near the camp.

Jean:
That's right. If I was off duty at the hospital and you had a thirty-six hour pass, I used to come up by train.

Lionel:
Funny thing to buy a girl you were in love with.

Jean:
Were you?

Lionel:
You know damn well I was. I must have been; three and six that pencil box cost.

Jean:
I've still got it.

Lionel:
Have you?

Jean:
Must be worth millions now.

Lionel:
At least.

Jean:
Ghosts. Everywhere you look ghosts.

Lionel:
Maybe we're the ghosts.

Jean:
Maybe we are.
