Quote context

[...]

- And you think a kiss from a smooth operator like Fred, you think that means anything?

- You don't know him. You don't know anything about what's inside him. Neither does she. His wife.

- It's none of your business how I'm going to do it.

- You've forgotten what it's like to be in love.

- You hear that, Milly? I'm so old and decrepit, I've forgotten how it feels to want somebody desperately.
