If Looks Could Kill Scene
Nick brings a girl to the Raven to unwind a bit. As he walks in, Janette joins him near a wall with chains. The two watch the dancing crowd.
Nick: "She has a strange way of coping with tragic."

Janette: "As they watch each younger generation arrive to cut in on their dance, turn their possessions into artifacts, and store their pictures in dusty attics."
Janette then backs away from Nick looking at him. Nick contently, looks off into the crowd...
