Such a color! Garnet color. Waving like silk. Liquid lovely flame flowing up through the bay leaves, and not burning them. Well, I shall be a flame like that. I'm sorry to disappoint the poor little worms; but the last of me shall be the flame in the burning bush. Whenever you see the flame, Jennifer, that will be me. Promise me that I shall be burnt. (MRS DUBEDAT: Oh, if I might be with you, Louis!) No: you must always be in the garden when the bush flames. You are my hold on the world: you are my immortality. Promise. (MRS DUBEDAT: I'm listening. I shall not forget. You know that I promise.) Well, thats about all; except that you are to hang my pictures at the one-man show. I can trust your eye. You wont let anyone else touch them.
