  [curls up]

  Denver : Were you cold?

  Beloved : Hot! Nothing to breathe down there. No room to move.

  Denver : You see anybody?

  Beloved : It's a lot of people down there. Some is dead.

  Denver : You see Jesus? Baby Suggs?

  Beloved : I don't know... I don't know the names.

  Denver : Well, what you come back here for?

  Beloved : To see her face.

  Beloved : Mama's? Sethe's?

  Beloved : [grabbing Denver's hand]  Sethe's.

• Denver : We have a ghost here, you know?

• Sethe : Grandma Baby used to say your daddy was too good for this world. Remember? He was a good man. It scared her. She always used to fret he wasn't gonna make it through nothin'. He made it through a lot. But maybe Grandma Baby was right. Denver, your daddy ain't gonna never show up here. You understand?

  Denver : But...

  Sethe : [Shakes head]  The day ain't gonna never come when Halle knocks on that door. Never.

• Denver : You won't ever leave us will ya?

  Beloved : No never, this is where I AM.

• Denver : How come everybody from Sweet Home can't stop talking about it? Seems to me if it was so sweet, you wouldn't have run away.

  Sethe : Girl, who you think you talking to?

  Paul D : No, she's right, Sethe. It wasn't sweet, and it sure wasn't home.

• Paul D : That girl... Beloved. She really gone, like they say?

  Denver : Haven't seen her since that way. Mama say she gone. She can feel it.

  Paul D : You think she was sure enough your sister?

  Denver : Sometimes. Other times... I think she was more.
