On the street, they met each other. A romantic commence of the story…

Alice: Hello stranger!

In the hospital
Alice: Sorry, looking for cigarette.
Dan: I’ve given up.
(Dan passed the coffee to Alice.)
Alice: Thank you.
Alice: Gonna be somewhere?
Dan: Work.
Alice: Hum…
Dan: Did you fancy with my sandwiches?
Alice: I don’t eat fish.
Dan: Why not?
Alice: Fish piss in the sea.
Dan: So do children.
Alice: Don’t need children neither.
(Dan smiled back)
Alice: What’s your work?
Dan: I’m sort of journalist.
Alice: What sort?
Dan: I write bitrism.(Not sure about the word I heard.)

Alice: I wait here for a long week.
(Dan looked at the old lady sitting in front of him)
Dan: She was 21 when she came here.
Dan: Does it hurt?
Alice: I live.
Dan: Do you need me to put your leg up?
Alice: Yes, please.
Dan moved her leg up to the chair in front of her.
Alice: Who cut off your crust?
Dan: Me.
Alice: Did your mother cut off your crust when you were a little boy?
Dan: Yes. I believe she did.
Alice: You should eat crust.
Dan: You should stop smoking!
Alice: How long was I halt?
Dan: About ten seconds.
Alice: That long?
Dan: You came to, you focused on me, you said ‘hello stranger’.
Alice: What a floozy!
Dan: The cabby crossed himself and said ‘fuck! I thought I killed her!’ I said let’s get her to the hospital. He hesitated. I think he thought there might be paper work and would be responsible. So I said with slight sneer: ‘please just drop her in the hospital.’
Alice: Show me the sneer.
Dan sneered to her immediately.
Alice: Good bustard!

They went out of the hospital, Alice get a cigarette from a man standing at the front gate and she passed the cigarette to Dan, try to lure him to have a smoke.

Dan: I told you I’ve given up.
Alice: Try harder.
Dan: You live here?
Alice: Just arrived, from New York.
Dan: Taking a vacation?
Alice: I’m on an expedition.
Dan: Where is your baggage?
Alice took another smoke without answering the question.
Dan: Where are you staying?
Alice: I’m a waif.

They keep on going along a street when a bus was passing by.
Dan: A red bus.
Two policemen come toward them as well.
Dan: Policemen. Old Bobby? Observed the distinctive helmet?
Alice giggled.
Dan: See Paul Cathedral, the most famous dome?
Alice: This is truly the magnificent tour.
Dan: As long as you are in the tour you goanna get to see.

Alice: What’s this?
Dan: No idea.
Alice: There are people who die saving the lives of others.
Dan: I’ve been here before. Twenty years ago we came here. My mother was dead my father and I went here the afternoon she died. She was a smoker. She died in the hospital actually.
Alice: Is your father still alive?
Dan: Hanging on. He is in a home.

After they got on, sitting at the back of the bus and talked about Dan's work, everything seems to follow through naturally.When Dan looked at her attentively and said 'You are disarming', what was he thinking about her is simple and clear.

 

And so it is, love begins to make a man and a woman closer.
