Alexandra: "No, come back."
The scene fades to commercial,
then comes back...
Alexandra (looks down at the
candle she's holding between her hands, then slams it down on the sand): "Oh,
damn you, Dimitri, you liar! You bloody liar!" (She sobs, and wobbily stands up)
"I lit this candle for you to bring you home, to bring you back to me because you
gave me your word. We were bound together...for better, for worse, in sickness.. and no
matter what. And you gave up on me. I mean, who asked you to spare me? Who gave you
permission? You had no right. I could have saved you. But I'll never know because you
broke your promise." (She pauses, then slowly shakes her head.) "I'll never know
if meeting you was fate... or if it was god's way of putting me in my place. I mean, who
the hell did I think I was? Your savior, like you were mine?" (She puts her hand to
her face, trying not to cry.) "If I wasn't put here on earth to save you, then I
don't know why god put me here at all." (She sits back down on the ground, half
covering her face with her hand. Edmund watches her quietly, then looks down at the
ground, touched by her outburst.)
The scene fades out, then returns later.
Alex places a single long stemmed rose on the sand, in front of the candle. Alexandra:
"I wish I could see you one last time, to wrap your warmth around me." (She
pauses and looks up at the sky.) "God bless you and keep you." (Briefly putting
her hands together in prayer, she gets up and breathes deeply. Edmund approaches and she's
startled to find him standing a few feet away from her.)
