She said you'd marry no matter what we think. 298 00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,110 That's not the case. 299 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,781 Unless you two approve, there won't be any marriage. 300 00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:44,954 Why, John?

I don't know why. 551 00:46:53,811 --> 00:46:57,397 Maybe because it takes a special quality of effort. 552 00:46:57,607 --> 00:46:59,649 More consideration, compassion... 553 00:46:59,859 --> 00:47:03,695 ...than most marriages generate these days. 554 00:47:03,905 --> 00:47:07,699 - Could that be it? - Yes, it could. 555 00:47:07,909 --> 00:47:09,409 I'm glad you said that. 556 00:47:09,827 --> 00:47:14,247 That's a beautiful thought.

If he'd played his cards right, you'd never met me. 601 00:50:31,278 --> 00:50:35,448 - He fell for some girl from Pomona. - That'll teach him. 602 00:50:35,658 --> 00:50:40,286 You know what Hilary was doing? She was being an absolute bitch! 603 00:50:40,496 --> 00:50:43,081 I wish you'd fire her, I really do. 604 00:50:43,290 --> 00:50:46,668 Joey!

Sit. 610 00:51:03,185 --> 00:51:08,481 Of course, they know all that. They're serious, intelligent people. 611 00:51:08,691 --> 00:51:10,734 If they know what lies in store... 612 00:51:10,943 --> 00:51:14,112 ...and want each other enough to accept it... 613 00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:17,198 ...then they love each other very much. 614 00:51:17,408 --> 00:51:20,410 Any two people who love each other that much... 615 00:51:20,619 --> 00:51:24,080 ...deserve all the best luck in the world. 616 00:51:24,290 --> 00:51:28,460 I don't know. I have the feeling that they'll never make it. 617 00:51:28,669 --> 00:51:31,504 That the whole thing's impossible. 618 00:51:32,923 --> 00:51:36,176 You feel that way, do you? 619 00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:39,429 You're really thrashing about, then. 620 00:51:39,638 --> 00:51:43,725 That's very interesting, indeed. And rather amusing too... 621 00:51:43,934 --> 00:51:48,938 ...to see a broken-down phony liberal facing his principles. 622 00:51:50,024 --> 00:51:54,277 I always believed that under the fighting liberal façade... 623 00:51:54,487 --> 00:51:58,406 ...there must be a reactionary bigot trying to get out. 624 00:51:58,616 --> 00:52:03,745 Oh, go to hell. You and your crowd are still preaching hell. 625 00:52:03,954 --> 00:52:06,122 Well, I'm off. 626 00:52:06,749 --> 00:52:12,170 As much as I enjoy your discomfort, I can save a few souls before supper. 627 00:52:12,379 --> 00:52:17,133 But I am, as it happens, free for dinner... 628 00:52:17,343 --> 00:52:22,764 Please come, 7.30.
