Harry:
...Ecstasy touched me...
I slid between the spaces in the sky
and smelt things living and dying
in the valleys of the forest...
but the seeds of hell were sprouting all around me,
I watched them unfolding their chrome-yellow petals.
I saw both heaven and hell.
I saw them both.
There is a heaven.
There is a hell, now I know there is a hell.
I saw both heaven and hell.
Betty:
Oh Harry stop it!
You're too nice to go to hell.
If one of us goes it will be me.
I shall get there first...
from the libretto by Amanda Holden, after the novel by Peter Carey
