- The Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, we now ask for your complete attention. If you want to sing, laugh, clap, cry, yawn, boo or fart, please, do it in your head, only in your head. You are now kindly requested to keep silent and to hold your breath until the very end of the show. Breathing will not be tolerated during the show. So, please take a deep, last breath right now. Thank you.
- The Accompanist: [while conducting an orchestra] It's a fast changing world. I am now the conductor of the city's finest orchestra. No longer the self-deprecating accompanist from such a short while ago. Ann would be proud of me. I do have my suspicions, though, about why she isn't alive. And doubts, too, about something else, but... Excuse me a minute.
- [goes back to conducting]
- The Accompanist: Henry has invited me to his place tomorrow, to discuss a matter that he says concerns Annette, and Ann. As awkward as it is for me to attend, anything that concerns Ann and the future of Annette is something that concerns me. Excuse me one more time.
- [goes back to conducting]
- The Accompanist: My love for Ann has never died. Neither has my regret that our affair was only an affair. I had. been hoping for so long. Then at a time when she was in despair, we started an affair. But the very next week, she met Henry. That was the end of it, the end of me. I'll always regret that. I deeply miss her - her warmth, her voice. I miss Ann. Excuse me.

- Annette in Prison: Now you have nothing to love.
- Henry McHenry: Why can't I love you? Can't I love you?
- Annette in Prison: Now you have nothing to love.
- Henry McHenry: Can't I love you, Annette?
- Annette in Prison: No, not really, Daddy. It's sad but it's true. Now you have nothing to love.
- Annette in Prison: I will never sing again, shunning all lights at night. I will never sing again, smashing every lamp I see. I will never sing again, living in full darkness. I will never sing again, a vampire forever!
