Quote context

[...]

- Make an honest woman out of me?

- No, not you. It's me who hasn't been honest.

- Look, what it takes to make me see sense.

- You think I've overdone it?

- Please don't leave me, Joy.

- You know, Jack, back where I come from, they have this quaint old custom. Well, when a guy makes up his mind to marry a girl, he asks her. It's called proposing.

- It's the same here.

- Did I miss it?

- I'm okay.

- Yeah.

- Why did we ever have to come to this stupid country? We were all right where we were. I told Mum, but she wouldn't listen.

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.
Well, just because something hurts, it doesn't make it more true or more significant. -No, I guess not.
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?
The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
