5 quotesUnexpected Responses in Marriage Proposal
Porter Hollingsway
OK. OK, you win. I'll marry you. How about it?
Lora Mae Hollingsway
Thanks... for nothing.
Porter Hollingsway
Now what kind of an answer is that?
Lora Mae Hollingsway
I don't know. I just felt like it. That's all.
Porter Hollingsway
We'll do all right, kid. We're starting out where it takes most marriages years to get, out in the open. No jokers. You'll see. You've made a good deal, Lora Mae.
Mrs. Finney
Lora Mae, honey, if you want me I'll be over at the Callahans playing...
[walking into the room]
Lora Mae Hollingsway
Happy new year, Ma. We're gonna get married.
Mrs. Finney
...Bingo!

Love and Transactions in Marriage
Lora Mae Hollingsway
I've been a good wife. The best wife your money could buy.
Porter Hollingsway
Strictly cash and carry.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
Isn't that what you wanted? Isn't that what you told me? "Out in the open. You made a good deal, kid." Did you every stop to think, Porter, that in over 3 years there's one word we've never said to each other, even in fun?
Porter Hollingsway
To you, I'm a cash register. You can't love a cash register.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
And I'm part of your inventory. You can't love that, either.
Porter Hollingsway
I asked you to marry me because I was crazy about you.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
You didn't even ask me!
Porter Hollingsway
I've been a good husband. You got everything you want.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
If you'd only asked me, if you'd only made me feel like a woman instead of a piece of merchandise!
Porter Hollingsway
Did you give me a chance to? All you ever showed me was your price tag.

A Man's Perspective on Strength and Nature
Porter Hollingsway
It's a man's world. Yeah! See something you want, go after it and get it! That's nature. It's why we're made strong and women weak. Strong conquer and provide for the weak. That's what a man's for! Teach our kids that, there'd be more men!

Unspoken Love and Fear of Rejection
Deborah Bishop
Have you any idea how much Lora Mae is in love with you?
Porter Hollingsway
No! How much?
[scornfully]
Deborah Bishop
So much she's afraid to tell you, afraid you'd laugh at her.
Porter Hollingsway
Me laugh? She couldn't say it with a straight face. Lora Mae in love with me? It's all she can do to wait it out.
Deborah Bishop
Wait it out?
Porter Hollingsway
Yeah, like an annuity till it matures. Like a slot machine till it pays off. That's what she's waiting for. A chance to call it off, to collect. "The end of the line. Fares, please." Don't tell me about love and Lora Mae.

Like what?

Plenty that wanted to, I'll bet.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
What do you think?
Porter Hollingsway
That you've been waiting for that one guy to come along.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
I got very definite ideas.
Porter Hollingsway
What's he got to be like, this one guy?
Lora Mae Hollingsway
Someone who wants to marry me more than anything else in the world.
Porter Hollingsway
You sure got wrong ideas about things.
Lora Mae Hollingsway
They may be wrong, but they're definite
