- Something I ought to tell you, Warnie.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Yeah.

- I've agreed to marry Joy.

- You have?

- Mmm-hmm. Seemed the right thing to do.

- It did?

- Yes, there's nothing to worry about.

- See, what I've agreed to do is extend my British citizenship to her, so that she can go on living in England.

- By marrying her?

Top rated lines from this movie

And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.
Beastly things, telephones. Ring, ring, ring. Stop what you're doing. Get up. Hurry, hurry. Ring, Ring, Ring. No manners at all, huh?
We think our childish toys bring us all the happiness there is and our nursery is the whole wide world. But something... Something must drive us out of the nursery to the world of others, and that something is suffering.
Why? See, if you love someone, you don't want them to suffer. You can't bear it. You want to take their suffering onto yourself. Even I feel like that. Why doesn't God?
