'Northwest Passage'1940

[last lines]

Elizabeth Browne:
[standing alongside Langdon Towne as Major Robert Rogers and his rangers march into the distance] Is there, Langdon? Is there a Northwest Passage?

Langdon Towne:
Who knows.

[pause]

Langdon Towne:
It's every man's dream to find a short route to his heart's desire. If the major dreams long enough, he'll find it.

Elizabeth Browne:
Will we hear from him?

Langdon Towne:
Hear from him?

[pause]

Langdon Towne:
Every time we look across the river we'll hear his voice calling us through the wind. He'll be within us, Elizabeth - wherever we are or he may be - for that man will never die.
