A scene from The Lady Eve 1941
Jean

You really haven't the right to drag me off like this, Hopsie...Why didn't you take me in your arms that day...Why did you let me go? Why did we have to go through all this nonsense? Don't you know you're the only man I ever loved? Don't you know I couldn't look at another man if I wanted to? And don't you know I waited all my life for you, you big mug.

Charles

Will you forgive me?

Jean

For what? Oh you mean, on the boat. The question is, can you forgive me?

Charles

What for?

Jean

Oh, you still don't understand.

Charles

I don't want to understand. I don't want to know. Whatever it is, keep it to yourself. All I know is I adore you. I'll never leave you again. We'll work it out somehow. There's just one thing. I feel it's only fair to tell you. It would never have happened except she looked so exactly like you. And I have no right to be in your cabin.

Jean

Why?

Charles

Because I'm married.

Jean

But so am I, darling. So am I.
