Educating Rita1983

Dr. Frank Bryant:
We split up, Rita, because of poetry.

Rita:
You what?

Dr. Frank Bryant:
One day, my wife explained to me that, for the past fifteen years, my output as a poet had dealt entirely with the part of our lives in which we discovered each other.

Rita:
Are you a poet?

Dr. Frank Bryant:
Was. And so, to give me something new to write about, she left me. A very noble woman, my wife - she left me for the good of literature. And remarkably it worked.

Rita:
What, you wrote a lot of good stuff, did ya?

Dr. Frank Bryant:
No. I stopped writing altogether.
