Exploring Love and Uncertainty in Relationships

Emmeline: I'm sorry, Richard.

Richard: You didn't want to all yesterday, either. What's the matter, Em? Don't you love me any more?

Emmeline: Yes, I love you more than ever, Richard.

Richard: Then why don't you want to do it?

Emmeline: It just hurts right now, that's all. When it stops hurting, we'll do it.

Richard: When is that gonna be? I don't understand, Em. Why does it hurt?

Emmeline: I don't know. I don't know anything. But if you touch my tummy right now, you can feel it.

Richard: [puts his hand on her belly] Feel what? How'd you make your tummy move like that?

Emmeline: I'm not doing it.

Richard: It's not doing it by itself.

Emmeline: Yes, it is.

Island Life and Relationships Explored

Emmeline: You're such a silly dodo, Richard. We're never getting off this island.

Richard: Thanks to you!

Emmeline: This is where we live. This is our home, now and forever.

Richard: No! I could never live here forever with just you! I don't even like you! You never used to laugh at me! You never used to have secrets you wouldn't tell me!

Emmeline: Well you're not so perfect, either, Mr. Richard Lestrange. I've seen you playing with it, and I'll tell your father, if he ever gets here.

Richard: [throws a rock, narrowly missing her] You! I hate you!

Emmeline: You almost hit me!

Richard: Take it back! Take back what you said!

Emmeline: I've seen it all! What happens after you've been doing it a long time?

Richard: Shut up! That isn't fair peeking. I don't peek on you!

Emmeline: That's a lie! You're always staring at my buppies.

Richard: Only cause they look so funny! You what you look like now, Em? You look like one of those pictures Paddy had in his drawer, one of his hootchie-cootchie girls!

Emmeline: I do not, I do not!

Richard: Hoochie coochie, hoochie coochie!

Emmeline: Stop that Richard, or I'll never talk to you again.

Richard: Hoochie coochie, hoochie coochie. See em jiggle, wiggle and shake.

Emmeline: Oh, I'm sorry, Richard. I didn't mean to hit you!

Richard: [slaps Emmeline across her face] Wish you were dead and buried!

A Crucial Ship and Fractured Trust

Richard: [runs to her, excitedly; stops, worried] Emmeline! Emmeline! A ship! A ship! The signal fire you didn't light it! Why didn't you light it?! Why Em, Why? You know how much important me to leave, It's the most important thing in the whole world to me!

Emmeline: I know.

Richard: [he pronounces it San Farisco] First you cry for help, then you throw sticks at me. A ship comes, a ship! First ship we've seen since we've been here, and you let it go by. Just let it go by, well that's it? I've had it! I'm sick and tired of waiting for you to get better, I'm going to San Francisco without you!

The Search for Understanding and Knowledge

Richard: There's so many things I don't understand, like why do the fish stop swimming and lie on top of the tide pools after a heavy rain? Why do you hear the waves inside the big shells? Why are all these funny hairs growing on me? I wish a big book with all the answers to every question in the world would drop out of the sky and land in my hands right now. I'd read it till I knew everything.

Emmeline: Oh, Richard, you can't know everything. Only God knows everything.

Richard: God — He can't find us any better than Santa Claus.

Richard: [he said it wrong] That should be our New Year's revolution Stop fighting so much.

Emmeline: I'll try, but...

Richard: But what? Tell me.

Emmeline: I don't know what's wrong with me when I say the things I say. I just keep having all these strange thoughts.

Richard: What kind of thoughts?

Emmeline: Just funny thoughts about you and me.

Richard: Tell me. What are they?

Emmmeline: Oh, I couldn't. They're just thoughts; they don't mean anything.

Exploring Marriage Through Pictures

Paddy: What's in them pictures, Richard?

Richard: It's a story about these funny people who get married. There's a saying in each one.

Paddy: Give us a look.

Richard: Were you ever married, Paddy?

Paddy: Seven times. Kids in every port from Clao to Macao. Seventeen at the last count, and never set eyes on a single one of em. Slant-eyed little devils, black little devils, even a couple of pink ones like you. And all with my eyes.

Richard: Paddy, what's "subjugation"?

Paddy: Something I've been trying to avoid all my life.
