E: In the meantime let us try and converse calmly, since we are incapable of keeping silent. V: You're right, we're inexhaustible. E: It's so we won't think. V: We have that excuse. E: It's so we won't hear. V: We have our reasons. E: All the dead voices. V: They make a noise like wings. E: Like leaves. V: Like sand. E: Like leaves.

Silence.

V: They all speak at once. E: Each one to itself.

Silence.

V: Rather they whisper. E: They rustle.

Silence

V: What do they say? E: They talk about their lives. V: To have lived is not enough for them. E: They have to talk about it. V: It is not sufficient.

Silence.

V: They make a noise like feathers. E: Like leaves. V: Like ashes. E: Like leaves.

Long Silence.

V: Say something! E: I'm trying.

Long Silence.
