The Postman Always Rings Twice1946

Cora:
Frank, about that question?

Frank:
What question?

Cora:
Why I married Nick?

Frank:
My answer is that Nick came along at the right time and with a wedding ring.

Cora:
The wedding ring. It was the first thing he mentioned.

Frank:
And you liked it. A certain reason.

Cora:
You don't know the half of it. Frank, I-I hate to say this but, I wasn't ever, ever homely. So..

Frank:
You must have had to fight off a lot of guys.

Cora:
A lot of guys? All the guys. I don't especially like the way I look sometimes. But I never met a man since I was fourteen that didn't want to give me an argument about it.

Frank:
Sure. And by the time Nick came along, well you were ready to marry anybody that owned a gold watch.

Cora:
It seemed the best thing to do, from my angle. And as for him, I told him, I told him I didn't love him.

Frank:
He said that would come in time.

Cora:
Yeah.

Frank:
But it didn't.

Cora:
But I meant to stick by him, and that's why...

Frank:
That's why you married him and retired. The undefeated champ.

Cora:
Not one hundred percent undefeated. Not now.
