:52:02
I know. You think
I'm too demanding.

:52:04
I do. I think you have these
qualities that you demand...

:52:07
and when you meet a nice man...
:52:08
you disqualify him
for the smallest fault.

:52:10
That's not true.
:52:11
So, what was wrong
with Nat Bernstein?

:52:14
He wore white socks
with a tuxedo.

:52:16
That's not a good enough reason.
:52:19
And then, when you fall
in love with somebody...

:52:20
there is always
something wrong with him.

:52:23
Yeah. Well, they all seem fine.
:52:25
I don't know.
:52:26
You've got this sixth
sense for picking losers.

:52:29
Sometimes I wonder...
:52:30
do you really want
to get married?

:52:32
More than anything!
:52:34
Don't you think
I want to have a child...

:52:35
before it's too late?
:52:37
God, how I envy you.
:52:39
I just want it to be perfect.
:52:41
Well, it's never perfect.
:52:42
If you wait for perfect,
you don't get pregnant.

:52:44
You wind up with your teeth
in a glass of water.

:52:47
Easy for you to say.
:52:50
I compromised when
I picked Martin.

:52:53
I mean, I wanted someone
tall and handsome and rich.

:52:57
Three out of three
I gave up.

:52:59
Well, I think you did
right to compromise.

:53:02
Why? You don't think I could
have done better than Martin?

:53:05
I know. You could have
married Sam Slotkin.

:53:07
So, why didn't you?
:53:09
Well, Sam Slotkin
was a mortician.

:53:11
He always smelled
from formaldehyde.

:53:14
And don't think that
Martin didn't compromise...

:53:15
when he picked me.
:53:17
I mean, he always dreamed
of being a business tycoon,

:53:20
having a beautiful, blond wife.
:53:23
I tell him the day he becomes
a tycoon, I'll dye my hair.

:53:27
Well, at least
you have each other.

:53:29
That's all I want--someone.
:53:31
So, you have to lower
your standards a little.

:53:34
You know, marrying for
love is a very recent idea.

:53:38
In the old country,
with Mom and Pop...

:53:40
they didn't marry for love.
:53:41
A man married a woman
because he needed an extra mule.

:53:46
Yeah, but meantime,
you're the one that listens...

:53:48
to all the romantic
soap operas on the radio.

:53:50
Yeah, well, I like to daydream.
:53:52
But I have my two feet
firmly planted on my husband.

:53:57
First we're gonna go to the
movie, then we'll go to eat...
