1. See I told all my friends about our engagement.
2. Yes, it’s too bad it had to be at a ball.
1. Even now we’re alone.

(They kiss)
ELLEN: Do you think he will send her a bunch of yellow roses in the morning?
NEWLAND: I was thinking of that too. I was going to leave the theater to keep the picture with me.
Honest? Isn’t that why you always admire Julius Beauford? He was more honest than the rest of us, wasn’t he, we’ve got no character, no color, no variety. I wonder why you just don’t go back to Europe.
How can we be happy behind the backs of people who trust us?

Newland. You couldn’t be happy if it meant being cruel. If we act any other way I’ll be making you act against what I love in you most. And I can’t go back to that way of thinking. Don’t you see? I can’t love you unless I give you up.
Oh my dear…whare is that country? Have you ever been there? I have. I know what it looks like. A lie in every silence. It’s no place for us.

Our legislation favors divorce. But our social customs don’t.
You are the last vision I want to see forever.
You were a Beaufort when he covered you in diamonds and you’re a Beaufort when he’s covered you in shame!
