It was my choice... not to go. He would have supported it.
But you don't have to choose.
No, I have to. I want a home; I want a family, that's not something I'll sacrifice.
No-one's asking you to sacrifice that, Joan, I just want you to understand you can do both.
Do you think I'll wake up one morning and regret not being a lawyer?
Yes, I'm afraid that you will.
Not as much as I regret not having a family, not being there to raise them. I know exactly what I'm doing and it doesn't make me any less smart.
This must seem terrible to you.
I didn't say that.
Sure you did. You always do. You stand in class and tell us to look beyond the image, but you don't. To you a housewife is someone who sold her soul for a center hall colonial. She has no depth, no intellect, no interests. You're the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This is what I want.
Congratulations. Be happy.
