Arlen Bitterbuck:  Do you believe that if a man repents enough for what he done wrong , than he 'll get to go back to the time that was happiest for him and live there forever ? Could that be what heaven 's like ?
Paul Edgecomb: I just about believe that very thing .
Arlen Bitterbuck: I had a young wife when I was _ eighteen _ . We spent the summer in the mountains , made love every night . After we would talk sometimes till the sun came up , and she 'd lay there , bare breasted in the fire light ... that was my best time .
