Film Noir, Right Before the Hero's Death Scene

--What do you remember?

--The same thing you do, what everyone always remembers. The laughter and the love.

--You sound funny.

--I can't possibly. I've hardly felt more ecstatic in my life. My spirit is incandescent, bright as a magnesium flair. I don't think my body can contain it.

--I've never seen you this way before.

--I know, and I'm so sorry my dear. You should not worry. There, come on. Let's see that smile. Ah. You've done enough to make me feel this way too you know.

--I can't let you go through with this. This revelation, you should forget it. It will only take you somewhere away from where you should be. Here.

--Don't worry. Don't worry. What happens next is not as important as that I made it to this point.

--Stay. I want you to.

--I always will, even when I'm not here.
