Grant You're sure?
I'm sure.
Grant You don't want to just get a sense of the place? I don't want to make this decision alone.
Grant **** off.
You're not making this decision alone, Grant. I've already made up my mind.
Grant Okay.
Madeleine So as you can see, we get a lot of natural light.
Grant Yes, I can see that.
Grant I'm quite aware of your policies. I'm more than aware of your **** policies.
Well, once again, Nurse Kristy is taking me back to the second floor. The area to my right are the elevators, and as we go on down the hall, there's a man with a broken heart, broken in a thousand pieces. Well, we'll go to Madeleine's office, past the lunch room. Hopefully, they're serving right now. The cannelloni was cold yesterday, but let's see what it's doing today. Let's have - I gotta have some Cokes again. That's what I'm gonna do.

The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who... accept what comes their way.
Grant Which kind of person are you?
Marian I was pretty mad about it. But now... looking at what came my way... [sigh] I think I could be the other kind of person. Quite the philosopher, huh?
And, how old were you when you met?
Grant She was 18.
Holy! That's pretty young to get married, eh?
Grant Wasn't my idea.
You mean she proposed to you? Well, that's lovely, that's what I think. How'd she do it?
Grant She hadn't planned it necessarily. We were in Tobermory, waiting for the ferry to Manitoulin, and it was miserable and rainy, and she was in a good mood. And, she didn't want any part of my sour mood.
What'd she do, what'd she say?
Grant Well, she said: "Do you think it'd be fun... Do you think it'd be fun if we got married?"
And what did you say?
Grant I took her up on it. I shouted yes. [pause] I never wanted to be away from her. She had the spark of life.
