PRISONER: I don't know. (Pause.)
EDMOND: Do you think that we are there?
PRISONER: I don't know, man. (Pause.)
EDMOND: Do you think that we go somewhere when we die?
PRISONER: I don't know, man. I like to think so.
EDMOND: I would, too.
PRISONER: I sure would like to think so. (Pause.)
EDMOND: Perhaps it's Heaven.
PRISONER (pause): I don't know.
EDMOND: I don't know either but perhaps it is. (Pause.)
PRISONER: I would like to think so.
EDMOND: I would, too. (Pause.)
Good night. (Pause.)
PRISONER: Good night.
(EDMOND gets up, goes over and exchanges a goodnight kiss with the PRISONER. He then returns to his bed and lies down.)
