INT. CAVE OF SWIMMERS. TORCHLIGHT

ALMÁSY: Now, you have plenty of water and food.

He kisses her tenderly. Pulls out his HERODOTUS and lays it beside her. Then he puts down the FLASHLIGHT.

ALMÁSY: And a good read.
(of the flashlight battery)
Don't waste this.

KATHARINE: Thank you.
(clouds over)
Will you bury Geoffrey? I know he's dead.

ALMÁSY: I'm sorry, Katharine.

KATHARINE: I know.

He's tearing strips from the parachute with his knife.

ALMÁSY: Every night I cut out my heart but in the morning it was full again.

He leans over her, desperately worried for her. She smiles.

KATHARINE: Darling. My darling.
