Kate : You waited.

Kate : Life is not a book, Alex. And it can be over in a second. I was having lunch with my mother at Daley Plaza and a man was killed right in front of me. He died in my arms. And I thought, "It can't end just like that on Valentine's Day." And I thought about all the people who love him, waiting at home, who will never see him again. And then I thought, "What if there is no one? What if you live your whole life and no one is waiting?"

Kate : I have to learn to live the life that I have got. Please don't write anymore. Don't try to find me. Let me let you go.

Alex : What's it like in the year 2006?
Kate : Well, I'm afraid the world's pretty much the same. Of course, we all dress in shiny metal jumpsuits and drive flying cars and no one talks anymore because we can read each other's minds... but, the truth is, from the past, not much has really changed in 2006.

Alex : Long brown hair, gentle unguarded eyes...
Kate : OK, OK. You saw me. But I still don't know what you look like.
