Sam:
She's dropped the divorce. She's going home on the Rex day after tomorrow from Naples. I've got to go with her.

Edith:

Sam:

Edith:
I won't let you go back to her.

Sam:
I know this is a jolt. It's a jolt to me too.

Edith:
I won't see you killed by her selfishness.

Sam:
You don't understand. It'll be tough on her with all the talk there'll be.

Edith:

Sam:

Edith:

Sam:
She's not taking it away.

Edith:
You were a young man a minute ago. I know everything's starting again. You shriveled the same way, every letter you got from her.

Edith:

Sam:

Sam:
You've got to be patient with me.

Edith:
What is this hold she has over you?

Sam:
I've got to take care of her. A man's habits get pretty strong in 20 years. I'll go into town and make the reservations. It's giving you up that hurts.
