“That's the way girls are isn't it? They swear eternal friendship, and then as soon as a man's in the case it's all forgotten.”
“Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.”
“But this girl isn't just beautiful. She's perfect in a way that's unreal”
“Commitment. That's what it's all about. Taking that convenant together. Bonding yourselves for all eternity. Isn't that what we are all looking for? Maybe Alexander wasn't ready to do that with me, but it's obvious he isn't ready to do that with you, either.”
“But is eternity an alternative to life? Isn't it, on the contrary, the case that it is when one wants everything to be eternal that one most loves life and the world.”
“I'm with him, and he's with me, and that's the way it's meant to eternally be.”
