Start: Zenobia: What day is it? Mug: Monday, Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday, Wet Sunday, or no Sunday at all, probably.

End: Zenobia: I’ll unnail the planks…I want to go down…I want to go and see who’s living in our place. Yes, I want to go all the way down, as far as the room I used to have, when I had a phonograph and could listen to music. Mug: Lie down again. Get back into bed. Stretch out. Rest. Calm down.
