Quote context

[...]

- Do you love me, Irena?

- Mm-hmm.

- You know I love you, don't you?

- I've never kissed you. Do you know, that's funny.

- Why?

- Well, when people in America are in love, or even think they're in love, they've usually kissed long ago.

- Well? Irena, what's wrong?

- I've lived in dread of this moment. I've never wanted to love you. I've stayed away from people, I lived alone. I never wanted this to happen.

- But you just told me you love me.

- I do. I do.

- I've fled from the past, from things you could never know or understand. Evil things. Evil.

- Irena, you've told me something of the past, about King John and the witches in the village, and the cat people descended from them.

- They're fairy tales. Fairy tales heard in your childhood. Nothing more than that. They've nothing to do with you, really.

- You're Irena. You're here in America. You're so normal, you're even in love with me, Oliver Reed, a good, plain Americano. You're so normal, you're gonna marry me.

- And those fairy tales, you can tell them to our children. They'll love them.
