Leonard: Why does someone have to die?

Virginia: ....Leonard?

Leonard: In your book you said someone had to die...

Virginia:  Mmmm

Leonard:  Why?  Is that a stupid question?

Virginia: No

Leonard: I imagined my question was stupid.

Virginia: Not at all

Leonard: Well?

Virginia: Someone has to die in order that the rest us should value life                   more. It's contrast.

Leonard: And who will die?  Tell me.

Virginia: The poet will die. The visionary.
