STRANGER. Plague me in some other way, dear fury.
LADY. Well, I can.

STRANGER. Everything that lives and moves, everything that's dead and cold, reminds me of what's gone....
LADY. Until the being comes, who can wipe out the darkness of the past and bring light.
STRANGER. You mean the child we're expecting!
LADY. Our child!
