Peggy Chapman
- David Smith: [Peggy has tried to throw herself off the cliff] Peggy! What were you trying to do?
- Peggy Chapman: You know what I was trying to do.
- David Smith: Why? Why would you want to?
- Peggy Chapman: [she touches his face] I thought you'd look different... but you don't.
- David Smith: He told you?
- Peggy Chapman: Yes.
- David Smith: And now?
- Peggy Chapman: I don't know... I was so frightened at first, so many things bouncing around in my head and then... absolute stillness inside. There were no more questions I had to ask.
- David Smith: But you still haven't told me why! Why this?
- Peggy Chapman: Because I wanted to leave with you.
- [last lines]
- David Smith: Peggy, if I don't stay I'll have to take you, and I can't! I love you, Peggy! I can't take all those years of living from you, not when you make them count for so much!
- Peggy Chapman: David, I've waited for you all my life! Do you know what I'm saying? All my life!
- [They embrace]
- Peggy Chapman: If I go with you, can we be together as we are right now?
- David Smith: Yes.
- Peggy Chapman: For ever?
- David Smith: More.
- Peggy Chapman: Then I want to go with you. Now.
- David Smith: Peggy, I can't promise you that it will be either more or less than you may have imagined.
- Peggy Chapman: I know.
- David Smith: You won't regret it?
- Peggy Chapman: No... not with you.
- David Smith: But you're so young! You've had so few years.
- Peggy Chapman: Most people live 'til they're eighty and never know the fulfillment I've known. David... it's Christmas morning. I want to open the next package.
- Peggy Chapman: [first lines, waking up on the beach after nearly drowning] I don't remember... the last thing I know I was in a big kelp bed. I remember thinking I'd never come up from down there. But here I am, aren't I... I guess.
- John Cummings: You do take too many chances.
- Peggy Chapman: Now how many is too many? I mean, you don't know until you take the last one, do you? And then that could be the first time or the hundredth
- David Smith: [Peggy has asked him to tell her about himself] In my earliest recollected incarnation, I was the poet Euripedes. That was about 480 B.C. My next trip in was as John the Baptist.
- [Peggy laughs]
- David Smith: Not too happy a choice, as it turned out. And then somewhere around 810 I served a hitch in Charlemagne's army. Yes, I was a general, I think... at least I had a very fancy uniform.
- Peggy Chapman: Wonderful! Because at this rate, we'll be here all night.
- David Smith: Wait 'til I get to the fifteenth century. That was easily my best century.
