In this short scene, we learn that Dr. Manette has fallen in love with a young woman named Natsume, who is sleeping with him in his car. The two of them have been having an affair for the past few months, and Nat is upset that she has not been able to sleep with her lover. She begs him to kiss her, but he refuses, saying that he only kisses her half-way through the night. She tells him that she will not let him do it again, and he agrees. She kisses him passionately, and they kiss passionately, until she realizes that she is close enough to him to be able to squeeze him, and that he is too close to her to squeeze her. She asks him to stay by her side, and she promises to do so for the rest of her life.
