Transcript:
"I'll write. I'll keep writing. Outside there's only darkness. Outside the cabin, outside the story, there's only darkness. I can feel her presence in the dark. Just now, I could smell her perfume in the room. I'll reach her, I'll fix it, I'll- I'll bring her back. The story will come true. If I stop, she's lost."
Notes:
- Script Note. The original script provides a direction for the scene; "intimate, urgent, disturbed but keeping his voice down, as if talking on the phone but trying not to be overheard by someone in the next room."
- Comment. Alan's voiceover comments after the scene, "It’d been me on the TV, talking crazy. Was I losing my mind?"
