A scene from The Awful Truth 1937
Jerry

I told you we'd have trouble with this...In a half an hour, we'll no longer be 'Mr. and Mrs.' Funny, isn't it?

Lucy

Yes, it's funny that everything's the way it is on account of the way you feel.

Jerry

Huh?

Lucy

Well, I mean if you didn't feel the way you do, things wouldn't be the way they are, would they? Well, I mean things could be the same if things were different.

Jerry

But things are the way you made them.

Lucy

Oh no. No, things are the way you think I made them. I didn't make them that way at all. Things are just the same as they always were, only you're the same as you were, too, so I guess things will never be the same again. Good night.
