CLARA
There’s a processione...?
JACK
Procession?
CLARA
Tomorrow. In Castel Del Monte. We
go to this together.
JACK
Maybe.

(CLARA's eyes light up)

CLARA
And after that? After tomorrow and
the next day.
JACK
I can' t stay here forever, Clara.

(As the words leave his lips he thinks how much he wishes he could)

JACK (VO)
It's not that I've given up on life. Just the way that I was living it. If you can call it living.

JACK
It’s time to go home.
CLARA
Let me come to your home.
JACK
I can't, Clara.

She's upset but decides not to press her demand.
Jack starts the car.
