“Susannah, you know how much I loved Samuel. And I think you know. Out...” – Alfred, Legends of the Fall ... Movie Quotes Database

Alfred

Susannah, you know how much I loved Samuel. And I think you know. Out of respect for him I wanted to say it in this place. I think you know that I'm in love with you. From the first moment I saw you. Like in a novel. That's my mother's romantic imagination coming out in me, I suppose. You're not making this very easy for me, Susannah.

Susannah

Sorry.

Alfred

Is there any hope that you could learn to love me? Not the way you loved Samuel, of course, but enough to. Susannah, we could make a life together. A happy life.

Susannah

I don't think so, Alfred.

Alfred

It seems like you're not sure though. Maybe there's a chance. What?

Susannah

I think I can only cause you pain, Alfred.
