CATHERINE
No. It's useless, Robert. It
wouldn't work, not ever...

BOBBY
Just give me a chance, will you?

CATHERINE
I'm trying to be delicate with you,
but you're not understanding me.
It's not just because of Carl, or
my music, but because of you...
(she looks at him)
I mean, what would it come to? If a
person has no love for himself, no
respect, no love for his work, his
family, his friends, something...
How can he ask for love in return?
I mean, why should he ask for it?

Profoundly wounded, he looks away from her.

BOBBY
And living out here, in this rest
home asylum, that's what you want?

CATHERINE
Yes.

BOBBY
(looking back to her)
That'll make you happy.

CATHERINE
I hope it will, yes.
