Female Hiker: Grazie. (Thanks)

Young Joe: Can I ask, how old are you?

Young Leda: So you ran away together?

Male Hiker: I guess we did.

Female Hiker: Yes, we did. Hmm. We are obliged to do so many stupid things. From childhood, even.

Female Hiker: [''Bianca plays with female hiker's hair''] Wow. Wow.

Male Hiker: What is that?

Bianca: Don't know.

Young Leda: It's Auden. "Chill of the crooked wing falls down along my body". It's ridiculous. It's just something I taught them.

Female Hiker: [''Extends hand to Young Leda who embraces it''; ''Chuckles''] È bello. Brava. Wow.
