- I thought, you and I, maybe we could go away somewhere. Together. One of these days. Today. Right now. Come with me.

- No, I don't think that's going to be possible.

- Why not?

- Because I think that if we go away to someplace together, I'm afraid that, one day, maybe not today, maybe, maybe not tomorrow either, but one day suddenly, I may begin to cry and cry so very much that nothing or nobody can stop me and the tears will fill the room and I won't be able to breath and I will pull you down with me and we'll both drown.

- I'll learn how to swim, Hanna. I swear, I'll learn how to swim.
