Movie quotes

  • (..) A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love? Get up off your knees. I don't like your common jokes. This is an honorable proposal of marriage... ...made at what I consider a most opportune moment. I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands. (..)
