劇末並沒有透露艾瑪選擇的「美好瞬間」,但是吃一顆桃子、在海邊造景的一天、與大家一同歡笑、以及道別的擁抱,認真地享受當下,這些都是她確實活著的吉光片羽。威爾急奔追回艾瑪,趕在她作為落選的靈魂消失之前,演出了「活著」。劇中引用了Walt Whitman的〈Song of Myself〉,以下節錄個人偏愛的部分:
I celebrate myself, and sing myself
我讚嘆我自己、歌頌我自己
And what I assume you shall assume,
而我認為的你也應認同,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
組成我的每一顆微小分子也都組成你。
...
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
你可能幾乎不知道我是誰或我表達的,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
不過我將祝你永遠健康安好,
Failing to fetch me at first , keep encouraged,
如果不能立即找到我,請保持勇氣
Missing me one , place search another,
在此地遺失了我,請尋覓下一處
I stop somewhere waiting for you.
我將在某個地方等著你前來。
我想起Alan Watts 也曾演講過的內容 : "The physical universe , is basically playful. (宇宙的本質是遊戲的。) "
