START: IKE. I didn’t know England ever got this hot.
KAY tucks in her blouse.
Where’s Stagg?
KAY. Setting up equipment in the grounds.
IKE closes the door. He takes a key out of his pocket and locks the door.
IKE. Five minutes.
KAY. Five whole minutes.
[... …]
END: IKE. (Difficult to say, hesitant.) Kay…
I don’t know what I’d do without you… truly I don’t… you work… so hard… you are so… special to me… if we win this war… and History gives me some of the credit… it will be in no small measure down to you.
