• —Karen... forgive me... I don't know what I'm doing, all this... it's got me out of control —he takes her by both arms —Seeing you with another man... it makes me sick, it drives me crazy, I still don't accept this damned reality.
• —You must. —Or you'll never be able to go on with your life. —He wants to leave, but Vladimir won't let him.
