...begin to interest him. How shall he be bored? Only by "possessing her completely," which in successive weeks comes to mean-in-turn-understanding her, controlling her sexually, paying her as he would a prostitute, trying to shame her, and trying to marry her. But her answers to his endless interrogations prove noncommittal, her sexual contact with him (though pleasant) strangely incomplete.

Answer: "No, there isn't any there either." Asks another: "Is it possible to build Communism in only one country?" "Certainly, but who wants to live there?"
