"Look, I bought you" "I'm expecting some support over this!" "It's not love though." "What?" "You're not in love with her?" "Why do you say that?" "I mean..." "Why do you assume?" "Well, I assume because, as I'm sure it is sex which usually" "And I can only say that" "Oh, I'm sure you have feelings," "But where do they start?" "All the same, the four of us." "On an adventure."

"You're right." "I'm here to get things done." "It's" "Gerald!" "Wait!" "I know I've made you like this." "But I have to be." "Perhaps if you weren't so..." "I have to be true to myself..." "And Rupert's right." "What?" "The rules that you apply to" "They're yours alone, and I can't" "I think we should" "What are you talking about?" "You can say that you" "Gudrun, this is nonsense." "All over some dance." "I don't give two ha'pennies" "She is nothing to me." "She's not" "It's who you are." "If you face facts, Gerald..." "It's best to stop this now before... before it becomes serious." "Before?" "What?" "Jesus!" "I took pity on you because" "It was never love." "You don't think you love me, do you?" "Not really." "It's always been perfectly clear" "I..." "I feel strongly for you." "And that's not the same thing," "Not really." "Not proper love." "Because you don't" "And you never will." "You'll..."

"Of course." "You really must go?" "We must." "I think Rupert's right." "We're not helping." "And you will manage here" "Perhaps not together." "But we'll manage." "I want you to have these." "Sweets for my sweet." "The most beautiful things for the most beautiful woman I know." "Come with us." "We could travel together." "No." "I'm perfectly fine." "You shouldn't stay."
