" Then for the first time you grabbed me and kissed me. Tears came to your eyes, Doc, and you said you’d love me forever and ever. Remember? You said … if I didn’t marry you, you wanted to die … I remember ’cause it scared me for anyone to say a thing like that. DOC (In a repressed tone) Yes, Baby. LOLA    And when the evening came on, we stretched out on the cool grass and you kissed me all night long. DOC    (Opens doors) Baby, you’ve got to forget those things. That was twenty years ago. LOLA    I’ll soon be forty. Those years have just vanished—vanished into thin air. "
