So did I.... Oh, Jack—don’t you understand? I love you. I love you enough to be cruel to you for your sake. Oh, my dear, tell me that you are true to yourself, and I’ll go. I’ll go and I’ll come back to you. Tell me that you lied this afternoon when you said that the only real thing in your life was your career—tell me that you lied every time you got up on the stage in that Madison Street movie house—

Sara
Jakie—did you want to come?
