Quote context

[...]

- I think it's wonderful that you're married. I think it's just elegant.

- You do?

- Of course.

- I mean, I wouldn't be lying on the floor in the middle of the night in some man's apartment drinking champagne if he wasn't married.

- That's a very interesting line of reasoning.

- Sure. With a married man, it's all so simple. I mean, it can't possibly ever get drastic.

- Have a potato chip.

- Drastic? In what sense can't it possibly get drastic?

- You may not believe this, but people keep falling desperately in love with me.

- Oh, I believe it.

- And suddenly, they get this strange idea in their heads.

- I believe that too.

- Yes. They start asking me to marry them. All the time. I don't know why they do it.

- I think maybe it's a kind of nervousness.

- Maybe.

- All I know is I don't want to get married. Not yet anyway. Getting married? That'd be worse than living at the club. Then I'd have to start getting in by 1:00 again.

- Very true. You probably would. At least occasionally.

- That's the wonderful part about being with a married man. No matter what happens, he can't possibly ask you to marry him. Because he's married already.

- Right? Right.

- You certainly don't have to worry about me. I'm a married man. Oh, am I ever a married man. I'm probably the most married man you will ever know.
