埃里克（Eric），我要偿还你离开我。她抚平了她的衣服。你明白吗？是的，他说，然后走进厨房。凯西在卧室里说，我将为它献出生命。现在我有一个生活的理由。终于有一个目标真是太好了。令人兴奋。毕竟，与您在一起的所有这些毫无意义的丑陋岁月。天哪，这就像再次出生。他说，很幸运。
(Eric, I'm going to pay you back for leaving me. She smoothed her dress. You understand? Yes, he said, and walked into the kitchen. I'll devote my life to it, Kathy said, from the bedroom. Now I have a reason for living. It's wonderful to have a purpose at last; it's thrilling. After all these pointless ugly years with you. God, it's like being born all over again. Lots of luck, he said.)

在摘录中，凯西（Kathy）决心要为埃里克（Eric）报仇他过去的行动，这表明她的心态发生了变化。她对这个新目标感到振奋，因为她柔滑了自己的衣服，并断言自己的生活将致力于这一目标。她的话反映了一种深刻的情感转变，这表明她找到了一种理由，可以追溯到自己认为是多年毫无意义的存在之后。这种新发现的刺激使她有重生的感觉。
埃里克的反应更加柔和。他承认自己的感受，但似乎辞职和冷漠，走进厨房，而凯西热情地断言了她从卧室的决心。她的热情与他独立的答复之间的对比突显了他们的关系中的深刻脱节。凯西（Kathy）认为自己的目的是赋予能力的来源，而埃里克（Eric）的反应表明，他可能无法完全掌握自己的感受或局势的体重。
