火車站的意外重逢
戰爭終于過去,活下來的Roy滿心歡喜地回到家鄉,在火車站遇到了已淪入風塵的戀人Mara。男的是喜出望外、講起話來喋喋不休;女的卻只重復著那一句話“你還活著”:生活的辛酸、無奈與陰錯陽差,都在下面這短短的幾句話里:
Roy: Mara! Mara! I can't believe it! It is you, isn't it? It is really you!
Mara: Oh Roy!
Roy: It's really you! Let me look at you -- I'm not dreaming, am I? To think of it--you're waiting for me, it's--it's a miracle!
Mara: Oh Roy, you're alive!
Roy: Several months and I've been waiting for this moment and I began to think it would never come. How did you know I was coming? Did you telephone? Mother...? Oh, don't darling, now lift your head. Do you know...Where's your nerve? It's over, darling, it's all over. We're together for always.
Mara: Roy, you're alive.
Roy: Yes, extravagantly.
Mara: Oh, my poor darling, come, we'll go sit down.
