Eleanor Roosevelt:
You want to stay?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
Yes.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
New York has the best doctors and hospitals in the country.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
I need something new.

[short pause]

Eleanor Roosevelt:
This isn't about getting better, is it? You don't want to come home. You don't want to live with us.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
I refuse to be a burden to anyone--

Eleanor Roosevelt:
Your not a burden, your my husband.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
I want to offer you the freedom you once so generously offered me. Listen, all you've ever known is duty to me and to a political career and unless I can walk again, no longer exists. You've been...exemplary. Now I'm telling you...that your free to go.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
I don't want freedom. I want a marriage. I want a life with you.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
Perhaps I can't imagine what you think that life is going to be.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
Oh, Franklin. It's not up to me to imagine. It's up to you.
