SIDE

SHARON
(dreamily)Just you and me? That could be dangerously romantic.

WOODY
Well& we ll have plenty of time for romance as soon as I get back from New York.

SHARON
New York? I didn t know you were leaving.

WOODY
I ve got to. These people depend on me. The only way I can earn money and get credit cards is to go to New York and&

SHARON
And leave me sitting here alone in the moonlight. And what is all that going to get you?

WOODY
Who knows  maybe a better world.

SHARON
Better for whom, may I ask?

WOODY
Better for you, better for me, better for our children&

FINIAN
(suddenly waking up)
Children! Let me be the first to congratulate you.

SHARON
Oh Father, he didn t mean it like that.
(FINIAN promptly falls back asleep.)
And as for you, Mr. Mahoney& perhaps you d better start packing.

WOODY
Don t take it so hard, Sharon. I haven t got a chance of stayin away from you. I m caught, trapped by that old valley legend. We ve got our legends too, y know. Notice anything peculiar goin on?
(SHARON looks around and slowly nods.)
 They who meet on an April night Are forever lost in love. If there is moonlight all about, And there s no moon above.
