MOTHER OF MISFITS.

I remember thinking that it was the first real holiday I ever had with [him/her/them].

I didn't give a thought to who might be in it, or was going to be in it. Why should I?

Although I hadn't seen [him/her/them] for years, I was thinking about 'em at that very moment.

Are you happy?

[Name], it's been wonderful seeing you again.

Happy New Year. I thought I'd lost you.

[Name], I've been looking for you everywhere.

It's funny, isn't it, after all these years?

These things get more crowded every year, don't they?

Are they happy? It's the sort of life you wanted, isn't?

Was [he/she/they] very much in love with you?

Will you always love me, [name]?

I shall never love anyone as much as I love you.

Why won't you marry me?

I don't think you could possibly understand.

If two people really love each other, and want to be together, they want to belong to each other.

[Name], I want to belong to myself.

Dearest, [name], don't be angry with me.

Why can't there be love without this clutching and this gripping?

I expect you're terribly busy, but I wondered if… we go out?

I didn't think you'd be able to come.

You're still a very unexpected person, [name].

I never knew you had this photograph of me.

What you're doing with it, I don't know. You gave it to me for Christmas once.

Some things take years to understand, don't they?

Remember that, you wrote that to me in a letter once.

It's silly, the things we do when we're young.

How we talked about all the things I was going to do in life.

What were the things I was never to be?

I stood and watched it for a time and began to think of all sorts of things I've forgotten. Things about you.

I thought I'd forgotten everything. Now I remember everything.

We knew each other so well that suddenly it seemed as if the intervening years hadn't existed.

We'd done this before, years ago, but as the days went by, new things began to happen.

I'd never really known the pleasure of walking arm-in-arm.

It all seemed so perfectly natural that I suppose it was easy not to think of the consequences.

We were happy and… that seemed to make it all right. At least, for a time.

We have to, don't we?

Oh… Have you been seeing anything of [him/her/them?

Who else have you been seeing?

It's wrong somehow. I've got to do this myself.

It would be terribly humiliating for [him/her/them] if you were there.

When will you tell [him/her/them]? Tonight?

I know exactly what [he/she/they] will say. It's what [he/she/they] said before.

Our love - yours and mine - wasn't what I wanted, not in my heart.

I can never stand, really, belonging to someone.

Why do you call it pathetic?

Aren't you losing your head?

I'm sorry you had to find out in this way, but I think you'd better know the truth.

[Name] and I have always loved each other. And.. we still do.

A mistake was made years ago. And now you want to put it right?

I can't… think for the moment.

Why have you come here?

Did you really imagine I wouldn't see through it?

If I thought you and [name] could make any sort of a life together, I might feel very differently about this. But I don't think you could.

You may love [him/her/them], but you don't know [him/her/them]. I do.

Your love is the romantic kind. The kind that makes big demands.

Nearness, belonging, fulfilment. And priority over everything else.

That isn't the kind [name] really wants. Although you almost persuaded [him/her/them] that it was.

Don't you see that you two together are dangerous?

You can't help it and you couldn't have changed it.

You just have to keep away from one another.

It was a cowardly thing to do. I should have told you.

Less than 24 hours ago, you told me that you loved me.

Do you remember once, I asked you how you could love me and yet marry someone else?

Your marriage was bound to be a failure.

I'm not a very good person, [name].

I wanted your love, and I wanted [name]'s affection and the security [she/he/they] could give me.

You don't really know me at all.

My love isn't worth very much.

Will you always want to belong to yourself?

I suppose that if fate had been kind and gentle we would never have met again.

Fate is not kind and gentle. It sent us together to a sunlit lake and snow-capped mountains.

And what are you doing here now, [name]?

There are places in [country's name] I ought to be but this isn't one of them.

I suppose something like this was bound to happen.

It's been a long time. I'm glad it's happened at such a lovely place.

Do you know what's the most extraordinary thing? I was thinking about you last night.

You haven't changed, but you look tired..

That would be breaking the rules, wouldn't it?

This is the only chance we're ever likely to have for the rest of our lives.

Do you realise, [name], that we're practically strangers?

You know, these days… we're closer together and much happier than we used to be.

You're very happy, aren't you, [name]?

Will you always love me, [name]?

I could never marry anyone but you.

I always knew we'd meet again one day, but I never imagined it would be quite like this.

I don't know, I suppose after last time I thought it would be easier that way.

I wonder how long it will be before we meet again.

I've loved seeing you and hearing your voice.

I was going to say…I'm glad you're happy.

I… can't just not see [him/her/them].

I was afraid you weren't coming.

You've had a rotten time, haven't you?

Don't be too nice to me, [name], I… don't deserve it.

You are happy, aren't you?

You haven't answered my question. What about you?

I don't know… what I'm going to do yet.

We'd… better say goodbye.

Goodbye, [name], think of me sometimes.

I know I shouldn't have come here, really.

Whatever you may think, however bad it may have looked to you, there was nothing wrong.

I think you'd better go.

I'll go away, I'll never bother you again. I'll do anything.

I knew you didn't marry me because you loved me, but because you liked me.

I didn't expect love from you, or even great affection. I'd have been well satisfied with kindness and loyalty.

You gave me love and kindness and loyalty. But it was the love you'd give a dog. And the kindness you'd give a beggar. And the loyalty of a bad servant.

I wanted this marriage, but now I don't. So I'm getting rid of it - with the rest of the things I don't want.

You made me hate and despise myself and I don't want you any more.

I don't want anything from you. I don't even want your gratitude.

I'm sorry. I'm… sorry. I didn't mean all that. I lost my head....

There was one thing I didn't bargain for in our relationship. And I didn't know it until a few weeks ago. But I.. I fell in love with you.

[Name], shall we go home now?
