Quote context

[...]

- You're so young, and I'm thinking you don't know what marriage means.

- I know I love you, and I want to be your wife.

- You don't love Melanie.

- She's like me. She's part of my blood and we understand each other.

- But you love me!

- How could I help loving you? You have all the passion for life that I lack.

- But that kind of love isn't enough to make a successful marriage for two people who are as different as we are.

- Why don't you say it, you coward? You're afraid to marry me.

- You'd rather live with that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say yes, no and raise a passel of mealy-mouthed brats just like her!

- You mustn't say things like that about Melanie.
