Text

START: SISTER: What did you take out of that box on the table?
CATHARINE: Just a cigarette, Sister.
SISTER: Put it back in the box.
CATHARINE: Too late, it’s already lighted.
[... …]
END: CATHARINE: He liked me and so I loved him � [She cries a little again.] If he’d kept hold of my hand I could have saved him! � Sebastian suddenly said to me last summer: ‘Let’s fly north, little bird � I want to walk under those radiant, cold northern lights � I’ve never seen the aurora borealis!� � Somebody said once or wrote, once: ‘We’re all of us children in a vast kindergarten trying to spell God’s name with the wrong alphabet blocks!�
