The Women1939
Mrs. Moorehead:
Stephen is a man. He's been married ten years.
Mary Haines:
Oh. You mean he's tired of me?
Mrs. Moorehead:
Stephen's tired of himself. Tired of feeling the same things in himself. Time comes when a man's got to feel something new, and he's got to feel young again, just because he's growing old.
Mary Haines:
Mother! Stephen isn't old!
Mrs. Moorehead:
Of course not, but we women are so much more sensible. When we tire of ourselves, we change the way we do our hair, or hire a new cook, or... or decorate the house. I suppose a man could do over his office, but he never thinks of anything so simple. No, dear, a man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
