A scene from The Awful Truth 1937
Jerry

Our divorce was one of those tragedies that you read about in the papers - a trusting woman and a worthless man. I was never good enough for Lucy, and well, finally she found it out. Lucy is above suspicion and always has been. She's as pure as the driven snow, as faithful as she is fair. And I would that I had been worthy to kiss the hem of her garment. Never during our marital bliss did she cause me one moment's uneasiness. Never did I have to ask, 'Lucy, where have you been? What were you doing?' I always knew. I tell you, something wonderful went out of my life when I lost her.

Daniel

Oh, I know just how you feel.

Jerry

How do ya know? How can you know how it feels to have used up the best years of a woman's life? Well, of course, that's the way it goes.
