[Buddy comes up the cliff with his bottle of wine and takes a mouthful of it]
Buddy Wittenborn: It's kind of salty.

[Ann slaps Buddy when he comes up the cliff]
Young Ann: You're not a hero. You're pathetic!
Buddy Wittenborn: Oh Ann!
Young Ann: Have some *guts*. Go live your own life.
Buddy Wittenborn: What? This isn't it?
Young Ann: Write a first line and then write a second one. *Kiss men if you want to. Horrify your parents.*
Buddy Wittenborn: Annie, what...
Young Ann: *Be a man.* Just leave me out of it. Don't carry around some... some stupid note I wrote you years ago.
[pause]
Young Ann: You're not interested in me. You just have this *idea* of me. Have the nerve to admit it and just... leave me alone.
[Walks away]
Buddy Wittenborn: Hell, I got the note all wet.
