What was that?

ALEX (sitting up)
What?

GIULIETTA
There.
Listen.

ALEX (gets up and looks around)
There's nothing there. I suppose it must have been a rat.

GIULIETTA
So what do you propose to do, then?
Get married while she's still at school?
Tell her now.
Don't be cruel.

ALEX
There has to be a way to say it...
Common sense can be so cold...

GIULIETTA
Common sense
Says: be bold...

ALEX
Yes, it's a crime to make her love me
But surely, it's just as bad to leave her...
And yet, that can be the only answer
The whole damn thing's got out of hand...

GIULIETTA
The only crime that I'm aware of
Would be to let our moment die
Tell her now.
Tell her why.

"A memory of a happy moment,
That's what this time will one day be"
Tell her that.
Then you're free.

ALEX
Will you still be here when I get back?

GIULIETTA
Yes. But don't be too long, Alex. Don't be too long.
