Start: C: (To A; slowly, with great emphasis, but no anger) I...will...not...become...you. I will not. I...I deny you.
A (Mildly amused) Oh? Yes? You deny me?
(To them all)
Yes? You all deny me?
[... ...]
End: A: I was talking about...what: coming to the end of it; yes. So. There it is. You asked, after all. That’s the happiest moment.
(A looks to C and B, puts her hands out, takes theirs. Continued)
When it’s all done. When we stop. When we can stop.
