Candilena: Candy? What’s wrong? Your face even changed after you saw that photo!
Candy: No, no, everything’s well. Don’t worry.
Candilena: Looks like you met this girl in not so nice circumstances.
Candy: Well… maybe. Susanna, she’s…
Candilena: (*looking in the files*) … Former actress of Stratford troupe. (*looking at Candy*) Terry worked there…
Candy: (*sighing and nodding*) Yes? She was his partner in “King Lear” and she was appointed to be in “Romeo and Juliet”… In person she’s more beautiful than on the pictures…
Candilena: Did Terry introduce you each to other?
Candy: No, we met each other in Chicago, in the hotel, after play’s ending.
Candilena: I can guess why you went there.
Candy: (*blushing*) Yes… To talk with Terry. But Susanna said, he’s tired and he can’t go out…
Candilena: (*frowning*) Didn’t she get too much???
Candy: Now it’s no matter. She’s with Terry now.
Candilena: WHAT??? Did he fall in love with her???
Candy: She has loved him.
Candilena: Is that a reason she became his girlfriend? You ARE here.
Candy: There was another reason. She… you see, she… There was an accident the theater… She saved his life…
Candilena: It’s generous from her, but is it…
Candy: (*barely clearly*) She lost her leg…
Candilena: Did she become invalid?
Candy: Yes… Do you understand what did it mean?..
Candilena: She’ll need many strengths to live.
Candy: Yes. And Terry is only one who can give her those strengths, see?
Candilena: Are you sure Terry’ll be able alone to help her to get away such strong heartache? You’re a nurse and you do understand it better than her friends.
Candy: I know nothing about her friends… but I’m sure if she’ll be with Terry, she’ll be happy certainly.
Candilena: Why are you sure so much?
Candy: Because I know about her feelings. She risked her own life for man, which she loved…
Candilena: I know that already…
Candy: And she was ready to die there, in the hospital roof. Just for his happiness with me.
Candilena: Did she try to make a suicide?
Candy: Yes. When I came to the hospital from the theater… to talk with her…
Candilena: Did you interrupt your watching for talking with her?
Candy: Yes. After all those gossips, I couldn’t enjoy with play anymore. You know, when I saw the wheel-chair in her ward…
Candilena: I see. You began to worry much more.
Candy: …And that note, where she wrote that she dies for Terry’s happiness… Poor girl, she was in such despair!..
Candilena: She wanted to die… Was she in her ward still?
Candy: No, I found her on the roof edge.
Candilena: (*puzzled*) But… But it’s more difficult for her to walk now… How could she go there unnoticed?
Candy: Probably, her despair gave her the power.
Candilena: If she got power, she’s able to manage with situation… Is suicide a way to make beloved person happy?
Candy: She knew Terry loved me. But she loved him too! She didn’t want to live without him.
Candilena: And you all did decide Terry has to sacrifice something important to give Susanna compensation for her loss, didn’t you?
Candy: …
Candilena: Had he to loose his love and freedom because Susanna can try to make suicide again?
Candy: She can…
Candilena: And what about Terry? Are his feelings not so important?
Candy: But she needs him more than I…
Candilena: If someone’s ill, he needs a medicine… But it doesn’t mean he loves it…
