  Do you think there's a Hell?

  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.)
