    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Leslie: What do you see?

      Stanley: [surveys the widespread devastation outside from the window of an apartment on a higher floor] Another day.

      The Control Voice: Perhaps how we face death is not as important as how we face life - to live each day with hope, with courage and with love... as if it were our last.
