A scene from The Americanization of Emily 1964
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison

You're forever falling for men on their last nights on furlough. That's about the limit of your commitments, one night, a day, a month. You prefer lovers to husbands, hotels to homes. You'd rather grieve than live.

Emily Barham

You're not only cowardly and selfish; you're remarkably cruel as well.
