scene 60: curtain call

{ Voice Post }

[ There’s a slight pause, as though she’s collecting her thoughts, before she rushes ahead breathlessly ]I don’t know how long it’s been here - since last night, maybe? Would I have noticed if it had been? I’m not sure. Do you leave the City when you feel you’re ready, or when the City feels you’re ready? I don’t know how long

Anita.

I won't be around to keep taking score, but you make sure to keep up with it. I'm still betting on you!

voice

[browning_baby]

Aww, it won't be as much fun unless you're around. Besides, I'd lose count.

voice

[charmedillusion]

I'll be cheering from the sidelines in spirit; you know I will!

Honestly, though. I - you have to promise to think of me now and then. Okay? I'll be thinking of you.

voice

[browning_baby]

I will as long as you promise to stay safe.

voice

[charmedillusion]

I promise.

You stay safe, too. Don't forget to take care of yourself while you're saving the world.

voice

[browning_baby]

I'll do my best.

voice

[charmedillusion]

Then I know you'll succeed.

You're incredible, Anita. Don't ever doubt that, not for a single moment.

voice

[browning_baby]

Well, it takes one to know one.

I'm gonna miss you, Sarah. More than you know.

voice

[charmedillusion]

Thank you.

I'm going to miss you, too. So, so much.

If you're ever in New York...be sure to stop by, all right? You'll always be welcome.

voice

[browning_baby]

I'll stop by. You're always welcome in St. Louis, too. I'm sure the boys would love to meet you.

[She laughs!]

I'd love that. Really.
