Good Lord, Ruth! Do you think a man is made of wood or stone, that a woman's lips in her first kiss wouldn't tell him the truth?
Why Girl, you might as well try to spread your tired arms and fly across the lake as to attempt to pretend a love you do not feel.

You never could!" "I said a girl I knew!" "'A Girl you knew,' then! Any woman! The idea is monstrous.

Tell her so and forget it.

You almost scared the life out of me for a minute, Ruth.
I thought it was going to be you.

But I remember your debt is to be paid with the first money you earn, and you can not have the slightest idea what love is, if you honestly ask if it can be simulated.
