V: I haven't slept a whole night since... I believe pain and fear must be worse at night.

C: Dear... It's so queer¹... My wife used almost exactly the words you used, not an hour ago. She too said that she couldn't respect me.

V: We have to do everything we can not to lose our men, don't you see? Besides, you know you are more useful here.
