Movie quotes

  • (..) See you Thursday. I'm not gonna stand here pleading. I love you. I have loved you for over a year. I handled the best I could. Maybe it was handled poorly at times. But in the matters of heart, people do foolish things. Think of, of my offer. I want you to be my wife. Now! I will die if you say no. (..)
