A scene from The Parent Trap 1961
Mitch Evers

Ah Maggie, you're so beautiful.

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick

[to brush it off]

Ah...

Mitch Evers

No I mean it! I know I don't say things like you want to hear, but I've been thinking a lot about you, and us, and the way things used to be... this might sound funny to you but you know what I've missed most of all?

Mitch Evers

What?

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick

You've got stew all over you.

Mitch Evers

I don't care.

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick

Go and wash it off. [pause] What do you miss?

Mitch Evers

Well, I don't care if it does sound silly; I miss those wet stockings you used to have hanging around the bathroom, and I miss my razor being dull because you used it to shave your legs with. And I miss the hairpins mixed up with the fish hooks in my tackle box... it's no fun having a clothes closet all to myself. And it's no fun swearing because you're not around to make believe you're shocked by it. Well, nothing's any good without you Maggie, I miss a lot of things... I guess I just miss you!

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick

Why did you take so long to tell me?

Mitch Evers

I don't know... Well because, cause I guess I was hoping that you'd come back sometime. Maggie, I've been the prize chump of the world. We've both been. We're going to grow into a couple of old lonely people if we don't do something about it.

Mitch Evers

You don't want that, do you?

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick

[they kiss]

Oh Mitch, it's been so long... so very long.

Mitch Evers

Don't cry. Listen, you can slug me in the eye anytime you want.
