A scene from All the King's Men 1949
Jack

Anne, where are you going?

Anne

I don't know. Leave me alone.

Jack

To do what?

Anne

I don't care.

Jack

No, that's too easy.

Anne

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!

Jack

I do.

Anne

Leave me alone, please.

Jack

No, no more.

Anne

He's dead.

Jack

We're alive.

Anne

My brother's dead.

Jack

We've got to go on living.

Anne

How?

Jack

So that Adam's death has meaning. So that it wasn't wasted. Anne, our life has to give his death meaning. Don't you see that? Look at those people. LOOK AT THEM! They still believe. And we've got to make them see Willie the way Adam always saw him or there's no meaning in anything, anything.
