1:14:03
Otherwise, I'll figure
you're just frightened.

1:14:06
- Frightened of what?
- Frightened of getting married.

1:14:08
Don't be an ass.
1:14:10
The weekend passion is over.
1:14:12
Now it's down to signing applications,
babies, setting up house...

1:14:15
you have to commit yourself to life now.
1:14:18
I don't want to know
what's good or bad or true.

1:14:21
I let God worry about the truth.
1:14:22
I just want to know
the momentary fact of things.

1:14:25
Life isn't good or bad or true.
1:14:27
It's merely factual. It's sensual. It's alive.
1:14:31
My idea of living sensual facts
are you, a home, a country...

1:14:34
a world, a universe. In that order.
1:14:38
I want to know what I am,
not what I should be.

1:14:40
The fact is, I'm a coward.
I never met anyone who wasn't.

1:14:45
I'm not.
1:14:46
You're the most terrified woman
I've ever met.

1:14:49
You're even scared to get married.
1:14:51
I've already been married.
1:14:53
Sure. You married him three days before
he went to Africa.

1:14:56
Thank God he never came back.
1:14:58
You're forever falling in love with men
on their last nights of furlough.

1:15:01
That's the limit of your commitments.
One night, a day, a month!

1:15:05
You prefer lovers to husbands,
hotels to homes.

1:15:07
You'd rather grieve than live.
1:15:09
You're not only cowardly and selfish,
you're remarkably cruel as well.

1:15:13
Come off it.
1:15:15
The only immoral thing
you have against me is I'm alive.

1:15:22
I'm going to slap your face, Charlie.
1:15:25
Go ahead. I won't hit you back.
I'm a coward.

1:15:29
On the other hand, I'm selfish.
I don't easily give up what's mine.

1:15:33
You're mine, Emily,
and I'm not going to let you go.

1:15:37
All you have to say is, "I don't love you."
1:15:42
I don't love you, Charlie.
1:15:46
Come on, Charlie! It's time to go!
1:15:50
Well, you're a good woman.
1:15:52
You've done the morally right thing.
1:15:55
God save us all from people
who do the morally right thing.

1:15:58
It's the rest of us who get broken in half.
