Text

START: MAIRE: O my God, that leap across the ditch nearly killed me.
YOLLAND: I could scarcely keep up with you.
MAIRE: Wait till I get my breath back.
YOLLAND: We must have looked as if we were being chased.
[... …]
END: MAIRE: Shh--listen to me. I want you, too, soldier.
YOLLAND: Don’t stop--I know what you’re saying.
MAIRE: I want to live with you--anywhere--anywhere at all--always--always.
YOLLAND: ‘Always’? What is that word--’always’?
MAIRE: Take me away with you George.
