Summary

July (six months later). This scene takes place in Postman’s Park. Anna is there waiting. Larry arrives in his white doctor’s coat. The first part of their conversation is an echo of the conversation that took place when they met (Scene 4). They then refer to the park’s memorial to people who saved the lives of others. Eventually, conversation then refers to Larry having ended up with a young nurse named Polly, who insisted that he leave private practice and ngo back to work at the hospital; and that he injured himself “that night”. He half-heartedly tries to restart something with Anna, but she tells him to “fuck off”, revealing that she’s getting emotional comfort and fulfillment from a mongrel that she adopted off the street.

Further conversation reveals that Alice has died – Anna comments that it happened in New York...
