Mama, you better get ready. [He sees no one, apparently, except his mother.] The services will begin soon. [Now he sees Mary. Carefully laying down the praying shawl and skull cap he brought with him, he turns to her. He speaks quietly.] You came!

Mary

Yes, Jack.

Jack

[Simply]. I’m glad.

Sara

Jakie.

Jack
