Solution
| Johnsy: | Sue, did you know that Mr. Behrman had painted that last leaf? |
| Sue: | No, I knew it just now, too. |
| Johnsy: | Sue, that means that he got wet that night painting the last leaf! |
| Sue: | And got pneumonia after that! |
| Johnsy: | Yes, because of my stupid fancy that I would die when the last leaf fell. |
| Sue: | It certainly was a stupid idea. |
| Johnsy: | I feel so guilty now! Sue, it is as if... as if... he died for me! |
| Sue: | Yes, so that you may live. |
| Johnsy: | Oh, what a wonderful, Sue compassionate man! To go out in that cold, wintry, snowy night just to paint that leaf! |
| Sue: | And develop pneumonia... |
| Johnsy: | What can I do now? How can I ever thank him? |
| Sue: | I know what you can do! |
| Johnsy: | What? What? |
| Sue: | Paint your masterpiece of the Bay of Naples and dedicate it to him. |
| Johnsy: | Yes, I think that's a good idea. Yes, I'll do that. Thanks, Sue. |
