A scene from The Lady Eve 1941
Charles

I think that if there's one time in your life to be careful, to weigh every pro and con, that this is the time.

Eve

Oh yes, you, you can't be too careful.

Charles

That's right. Now, you might think that having known you such a short time...

Eve

I-I feel I've known you always.

Charles

That's the way I feel about you. I don't just see you here in front of the sunset. But you seem to go way back. I see you here but at the same time, further away and still further away, and way, way back in a, a long place like a...

Eve

Like a forest glade.

Charles

That's right. How did you guess?

Eve

Because, that's where I see you always. We held hands, way, way back.

Charles

Why, that's remarkable. That's like telepathy.

Eve

I can read many of your thoughts.

Charles

Then, I need hardly tell you of the doubts I've had before I brought myself to speak like this. You see Eve, you're so beautiful, you're so fine, you're so...I don't deserve you.

Eve

Oh but you do, Charles. If anybody ever deserved me, you do. So richly.

Charles

Eve!

Eve

Charles!
