  “Like the Roth novel, this short story contains some of the most exquisite dialogue I’ve ever read. It’s only four pages, covering about 45 minutes, as a couple waits for a train in Spain. You come to realize that they’re talking about her having an abortion. Actually, they never speak about it overtly, but their story is just heartbreaking. Again, it’s about people who are recognizing the distance between them. It’s a very appealing story for an actor because drama exists in what’s not spoken.”↗
