ACT TWO

SCENE X

The Beach.
NELLIE. walks on. The strain of "I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love" ringing in her ears and cutting deeply into her
heart. NELLIE walks up and looks over the sea.

Pause. Then she speaks softly.

NELLIE
Come back so I can tell you something. I know what counts
now. You. All those other things--the woman you had before
--her color . . . (She laughs bitterly) What piffle! What a
pinhead I was! Come back so I can tell you. Oh, my God,
don't die until I can tell you! All that matters is you and
I being together. That's all! Just together-- The way we
wanted it to be the first night we met! Remember? . . .
Remember?

(She sings)

Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel him call you
Across a crowded room--
Then fly to his side,
And make him your own,
Or all through your life you may dream all alone . . .

(Music continues. She speaks)
