Episode Quotes |
| |
John Griffiths: Ours was a love affair. Print it out in capitals. Underline it. Find some italics. Add exclamation points! Put up the fireworks! Tear down the clouds! Anyway, it was the 4th of July every night. New Year's every dawn. it was a bobsled downhill and everything cold racing by in beauty and two warm people holding tight and yelling with joy. Laurel and Hardy we would be forever. Or almost forever, until everything went to hell.
| John Griffiths: Do you have an elevator in this place?
Hotel Clerk: If there is, I ain't seen it.

Analysis |
| |
Changes from the short story:
* John and Alicia's first meeting, and the initial stages of their relationship, is adapted from Bradbury's "The Laurel & Hardy Love Affair."
* John saying "Gotcha!" at the end after announcing that he's leaving Alicia adds a somewhat different spin to the story's conclusion.
