bad
    quite short pause
    at least it’s not raining
    quite short pause
    it’s not so nice to go for a walk then
    not when the sun’s burning
    either
    short pause
    this is good weather for walking
    short pause
    it couldn’t have been much better
    quite short pause
    no
    quite short pause
    and wasn’t it good that we finally got to take
    this walk
    quite short pause
    we’ve been talking about it for so long
    quite short pause
    yes about walking up to that mountain
    quite short pause
    I don’t even know what it’s called
    and
    quite short pause
    you don’t either I suppose
    short pause
    no
    no I don’t suppose you do
    quite short pause
    and so far
    it’s been a nice walk
    quite short pause
    hasn’t it
    quite short pause
    at least that’s what I think
    and wasn’t it good that we both
    finally found the time to do it
    quite short pause
    perhaps we should walk a little further
    yes before we have something to drink
    quite short pause
    before we stop to eat
    quite short pause
    yes we should probably do that
    quite short pause
    but it was good to sit down for a bit too
    quite short pause
    have a rest
    quite short pause
    I can feel it in my legs
    yes
    that we’ve been walking for some time
    quite short pause
    can’t you
    quite short pause
    can you feel it too
    quite short pause
    The Man walk forwards a little
    So it was good to sit down for a bit
    Rest for while
    The Man continues to walk forwards
    You don’t want to sit for a bit longer
    rest a bit more
    yes
    quite short pause
    yes we still have quite a distance to cover
    quite short pause
    it’s a long walk all the way
    to the top of the mountain
    quite short pause
    it looks pretty far
    quite short pause
    but we’ve got the whole day
    quite short pause
    that’s good isn’t it
    The Woman stands up and looks at The Man
    you don’t want to rest any longer
    we can just keep walking
    yes
    yes of course
    The Man continues to walk forwards
    I’ll come
    too
    The Man stops and stands and looks
    What are you looking at
    What is it you see
    THE MAN
    But don’t you see
    THE WOMAN
    looks
    No
    THE MAN
    Don’t you see that it shines
    quite short pause
    yes over there
    THE WOMAN
    No
    THE MAN
    points
    there from over the mountain
    quite short pause
    and down the mountain
    quite short pause
    and then here
    THE WOMAN
    No
    quite short pause
    no I don’t see anything
    THE MAN
    That strong light
    THE WOMAN
    No
    no nothing
    I don’t see anything
    THE MAN
    You don’t see that awfully strong light
    THE WOMAN
    No
    The light begins to fade
    THE MAN
    And you don’t see that it’s like
    yes gleaming space
    in the light
    THE WOMAN
    No
    THE MAN
    And that the light is like
    breaks off. The Man walks unsteadily forwards and The Woman walks after him .
    THE WOMAN
    I don’t see anything
    Wait
    wait for me
    I’m coming
    The Man walks out and you can hear that he collapses. The Woman hurries out after him. Lights down .
