The Girl
- Lord Jim: The General is a persuasive man. He knows human nature. - String, please. - He knew how much I wanted you. Would you have given yourself?
- The Girl: Yes.
- Lord Jim: Because of fear? Because it was necessary. It is only what we do, what we think...... that makes us unclean.
- The Girl: Because it was necessary. It is only what we do, what we think, that makes us unclean.
- The Girl: What lives once lives forever. Many people wait here to be purified by fire. Only then can their souls be freed from their bodies. A proper funeral should have music and dancing and fine gifts for the gods and beautiful painted towers to burn. But it is very, very expensive. So we wait for a rich man to die, and then we quickly bring out our dead and join the cremation. It is a happy time when so many souls come back to us. One day, my mother's soul will return to a new life sweet and bitter as the old but one step closer to perfection.
- The Girl: If you hesitate., we fail. If you move too soon, we fail. If the moon comes out too soon, we fail. Each thing must be exact.
- Lord Jim: Something wrong?
- The Girl: No, nothing. And yet, something. Perhaps it is not a thing. More like a feeling.
- Lord Jim: Yes.
- The Girl: You sense it also?
- Lord Jim: Yes.
- The Girl: Does it have a name, this feeling?
- Lord Jim: Many names. Destiny. Luck. Fate.
- The Girl: Then all of this was meant to happen?
