“[Rylie:] I can't marry someone just because I love them! How would that look?”

“I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with.”

“I meant just because someone came back for you is no reason to be with them; just because someone loves you is no reason to love them back.”

“But you can't marry someone to fix him, even if you love them.”

“You can't love someone just by looking at them. That is lust. Not saying love can't come fast, but it doesn't come first.”

“If you won’t marry me for the sake of your own honor, then do it for the sake of everyone who would have to tolerate me otherwise. Marry me because I need someone who will help me to laugh at myself. Because someone has to teach me how to whistle. Marry me, Lillian… because I have the most irresistible fascination for your ears.”
