PANEL 1
SIRKKA: I JUST WANTED AN EXCUSE TO TALK TO YOU. I CAN’T SLEEP. AND I MISS YOU A BIT.
SIRKKA: YOU’RE HARDLY EVER HERE ANYMORE. ALWAYS OFF ON YOUR BOAT.

PANEL 2
JACK: THAT’S WHAT I DO, SIRKKA. OFF ON MY BOAT, LOOKING FOR THINGS WE CAN USE.
SIRKKA: IT’S NOT “WE,” THOUGH, IS IT? IT’S JUST “US.” YOU DROP THINGS OFF, SLEEP ON YOUR BOAT AND DRIFT OFF AGAIN COME MORNING.
JACK: JESUS, SIRKKA, WHAT DOES IT MATTER? I’VE GOT A JOB TO DO.

PANEL 3
SIRKKA: I’M JUST SAYING I NEVER SEE YOU.
JACK: YOU’VE GOT LIKE TWENTY PEOPLE IN YOUR BED RIGHT NOW, SIRKKA. YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO SEE ME IF I WAS IN THE FUCKING ROOM WITH YOU.
JACK: ONE OF US HAD TO DO THE JOB, AND EVERYONE KNEW IT WOULD MEAN THAT ONE OF US DIDN’T GET TO BE HOME MUCH.

PANEL 4
SIRKKA: YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE ME SAY IT, AREN’T YOU?
JACK: I’M NOT MAKING YOU DO A THING—
SIRKKA: I LOVE YOU.
