Paulie is standing with Mary and the bird on her shoulder, whispering silently and with dignity:

"She's ready."

It is interesting that Paulie speaks about the falcon concerning the gender as "FEMALE RAPTOR". It makes us see Paulie in the appearance/ character of the raptor.

It's interesting what Judith Thompson tells us in the interview shown on the extras of the Japanese DVD:

"I met someone once, who had a falcon at a party and someone said: "I would like to have a falcon as a pet!" and she said: "it's not a pet, it's a killer" and so I thought about that when I came to write this and the idea of the falcon is something wild and beautiful that you want to obtain and Paulie is like that - who can actually turn around and kill."
