Quote context

[...]

- Well, it certainly is a glorious night, isn't it?

- Glorious, and what's more, there's nothing phony about it. No camouflage.

- All this could be paradise for the right sort of people!

- Tell me more about your idea of paradise.

- Well, for one thing, not being hedged in by a lot crazy conventions. As for me, I just discard them.

- You sound like a heathen.

- Oh, no, nothing like that. It's just that I don't burden myself with a lot of illusions as to right and wrong.

- I don't believe in marriage.

- Well, what's the matter with marriage? Well, everything. In the first place, it's unimportant.

- Uh, er... Well, uh, uh... No, it's old-fashioned, outdated.

- It would only take one woman to make you change your mind.

- No, no. Marriage is the monkey wrench women throw into the machinery of love. Now, without it, there'd be no past to bother you, no future to worry about, nothing but the present.

- Interesting, but strangely familiar. I must have read it somewhere.

- Oh. Read it where?

- I don't remember.
