CLAIRE
"OH, NATE! It's so wonderful to see you happy again! I was afraid I'd never see you like this again. Your recovery, it's, it's almost a miracle!"
SANDMAN
"They live for a while, they live for a while
They live for a while and they wonder whether
All of the pain and all of the effort
Was worth it."
NATE
"Claire, it, it's been so wonderful being with you this past few weeks... I feel like a kind of darkness has been lifted, and the light is shining in again... And Claire, it's all because of you."
CLAIRE
"Why, thank you Nate, but I feel like you've been doing all the work here. It seems like you really want to come out into the light again. And that's the most important thing."
NATE
"I, I'm sure you're right, Claire... But, but there's something, there's something I need to ask you, something I've been thinking about a lot. Claire, will, will you, will you marry me? Will you, Claire?"
CLAIRE
"Oh NATE! Now, now that you've changed so much, of course. Of course I'll marry you."
SANDMAN
"The Sandman can
The Sandman can
The Sandman can
Make you sing and celebrate
The flowers that he irrigates
On your grave."
