Natalie Benzinger
- Natalie Benzinger: Do you believe in love at first sight?
- Alfred Eaton: No.
- Natalie Benzinger: Neither do I.
- Alfred Eaton: I believe in confusion.
- Natalie Benzinger: Yes.
- Alfred Eaton: A man walks around in a desert all his life looking for water and all he ever finds is sand.
- Natalie Benzinger: I didn't know you were lost in the desert.
- Alfred Eaton: I didn't know it either, until last night.
- Natalie Benzinger: Our pride and joy. When that was built, it was the most electrified colliery in the world.
- Natalie Benzinger: I love it here. When the mountains around are covered with laurel or snow - there's something so beautiful about them. And the people, too. The miners. The old ones, not the young. I've been in so many of their homes. Not much time left to them. Not much to show for working hard all their lives. Yet, they have such dignity and wisdom - sorrow and pride.
- Natalie Benzinger: Mother has a little heart condition. She never stays up later than ten.
- Alfred Eaton: What do you do with your time? Or, do you - have a heart condition, too?
- Natalie Benzinger: No, I have no particular heart condition - of either kind.
- Alfred Eaton: You'd like me to shut up.
- Natalie Benzinger: No. I'd like you to do much more than that.

- Natalie Benzinger: Well, now you've got me lost in the desert.
- Alfred Eaton: I guess we're all out here - searching.
- Natalie Benzinger: Nobody uses this road. In fact, nobody knows this place except - wild rabbits and squirrels, chipmunks and field mice, and birds and butterflies, and - falling leaves.
- Alfred Eaton: Which one of those are you?
- Natalie Benzinger: I don't know. A squirrel, perhaps, or - maybe just a coward.
- Natalie Benzinger: I'll always remember a - a sad, lonely, searching young man who passed through my life for a brief moment. And I loved his sadness - his loneliness - his searching.
