"Give me a break, Kath," "Bad enough Annie disappearing without you giving me a hard time," "I saw her yesterday," "What?" "Not for real, On CCTV down the docks, The Saturday she disappeared," "Any idea why she might've gone down there?" "(sighs) It doesn't make sense," " Unless she was meeting someone," " Oh, yeah, Who?" "I don't know, A friend?" "What are you trying to say?"

"I feel happy," "You ever heard of the Elysian Fields?" "No," "It's what the ancient Greeks call their afterlife," "Like heaven?" "Not quite, But the Greeks believe that when you die, your soul is taken across a river," "And the Greek legend speaks about a blind ferryman, Charon, who rows souls from this life into the next," "That's why the Greeks used to put coins on the tongues of the dead, because that was their fare for the journey across the River of Forgetfulness," "Forgetfulness?" "Oh, God, I could do with some of that myself," "Why is that, Kath?" "Every bugger's telling me, "Forget, Forget,"" "But how can you forget something you don't understand?" "The search for understanding is the search we're all on," "But some things are beyond understanding," "And, in the end, we may have to accept them as mysteries," "Do you believe in an afterlife?" "Or do you think we just die and that's it?" "(counsellor) She had a way of asking me questions" "I found difficult to answer." "At first, I felt slightly trapped." "Then I began to enjoy it."

"A piece of work, Hope is different from optimism," "There's something blind about optimism," "Something clear-eyed and honest about hope," "In the Bible," "John tells us how he glimpsed this world of fresh hope," "I was beginning to think of Kath more and more." "She'd found a new sense of hope." "And I felt culpable."
