He convinces her that she should "let go of the past" whether it is real or not and to focus on a future for the world, Roger then manifests as a "director" within a small room next to a crying Angel who appears as a "playwright" for the world's story and he gently rests his hand on her shoulder with Dorothy stating that he is Roger Smith, the Negotiator.
