C- Christopher Tietjens 

Mac- MacMaster

 

 

Mac: I wish you'd divorce her. Drag her through the mud.

C: For a gentleman, there's such a thing as... Call it parade.

Mac: And if you met someone you want to marry?

C: It would change nothing. I stand for monogamy.

Mac: You...

C: Aye, monogamy and chastity. And for not talking about it.

Mac: "Better far thou hearts may break Bid farewell for aye! Lest thy sad eyes meeting mine Tempt¹ my soul away." That's great poetry.

C: That's your obese² poet painter talking about it in language like congealed³ bacon fat.

Mac: You have a way of putting things.

C: No, I haven't. If I had, it would make it better for me. Here: "Accept resumption yoke⁴ on condition child stay with sister Effie and Anglican. Wire if acceptable."
