Context
It is Christmas morning, Dad is golfing, and the children are outside having breakfast. Mom, before joining them, calls to the Female Voice. In the first scene, she asked the Voice, “When he says he loves me, what does he mean?” But she never received an answer. Now, the Female Voice has the answer, and rather than talking “long distance,” she joins Mom in the living room. Together they have tea and talk about existence, omniscience, and love.
