Away from Her - Reflections on Early Marriage Decisions
Kristy:
And, how old were you when you met?
Grant:
She was 18.
Kristy:
Holy! That's pretty young to get married, eh?
Grant:
Wasn't my idea.
Kristy:
You mean she proposed to you? Well, that's lovely, that's what I think. How'd she do it?
Grant:
She hadn't planned it necessarily. We were in Tobermory, waiting for the ferry to Manitoulin, and it was miserable and rainy, and she was in a good mood. And, she didn't want any part of my sour mood.
Kristy:
What'd she do, what'd she say?
Grant:
Well, she said: "Do you think it'd be fun... Do you think it'd be fun if we got married?
Kristy:
And what did you say?
Grant: [pause]
I took her up on it. I shouted yes. I never wanted to be away from her. She had the spark of life.

Away from Her - Choosing Happiness Over Anger
Marian:
I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just decide. Things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever, for anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who... accept what comes their way.
Grant:
Which kind of person are you?
Marian: [sigh]
I was pretty mad about it. But now... looking at what came my way... I think I could be the other kind of person. Quite the philosopher, huh?

Away from Her - Navigating Policies and Personal Heartbreak
Grant:
I'm quite aware of your policies. I'm more than aware of your fucking policies.
Frank: [as a play-by-play announcer]
Well, once again, Nurse Kristy is taking me back to the second floor. The area to my right are the elevators, and as we go on down the hall, there's a man with a broken heart, broken in a thousand pieces. Well, we'll go to Madeleine's office, past the lunch room. Hopefully, they're serving right now. The cannelloni was cold yesterday, but let's see what it's doing today. Let's have - I gotta have some Cokes again. That's what I'm gonna do.

Away from Her - Uncertainty in Decision-Making
Grant:
You're sure?
Fiona:
I'm sure.
Grant:
You don't want to just get a sense of the place? I don't want to make this decision alone.
Fiona: [turns and stares blankly at Grant]
What place?
Fiona: [giggles]
Just kidding.
Grant: [grinning]
Fuck off.
Fiona: [smiling, then pensive]
You're not making this decision alone, Grant. I've already made up my mind.
Grant:
Okay.
