And the ugly truth? They never wanted us people with uteruses to have them.

This is Grace following the ash trail from Rocky's burning body after he wakes up. In the film you can just make out his eyes shining with tears. Now you can see the real devastation on his face.

“The composition features a couple standing beneath an archway, symbolizing the threshold of their new life together. The figures are depicted in a tender embrace, with the man’s protective gesture and the woman’s serene expression conveying mutual affection and commitment.” “But when do you stop to think about me?” “Every moment of every day. There is not a single moment you do not fill my mind…The thought of spending a single day without you torments my soul.”

“The painting depicts a couple dancing under a chestnut tree…the woman is Aline Charigot, who later became the wife of the painter.” “The elegant restraint of the city dancers and the cool ballroom around them contrasts with the gaiety of the country dance in the open air.” “I desire to dance with my betrothed…You are rather skilled, even with no music.” “It is all the more remarkable if you knew who my first dance tutor was. I had so much to overcome.”

“Klimt creates the image of a perfect union between man and woman with both merging together. Here, man and woman connect with the earth and the cosmos, guided by the power holding everything together: love.” “Then let me love you. My love for you is greater than anything I have felt before…I will be bound to you in every way that counts. And should we have a child, our child will feel our love magnified.”

“Another important feature of the motif is the couple’s abstract conjoined form and the faces that shade into each other. This is Munch’s way of underlining that the couple are as one, and the picture is a beautiful expression of belongingness and togetherness between man and woman.” “It is quite something to spend your entire life feeling like you are somehow out of place, and then to meet someone who understands you before you even say a word. Someone whose singular qualities match your own. Whose kindness makes you feel warm. Who can read your mind from across a whole room.”
