AMORY: We've got to take our chance for happiness.
ROSALIND: Dawson says I'd learn to love him.
(AMORY with his head sunk in his hands does not move.

The life seems suddenly gone out of him.) ROSALIND: Lover! Lover! I can't do with you, and I can't imagine life without you.
AMORY: Rosalind, we're on each other's nerves.

She crosses to him and taking his face in her hands, kisses him.) ROSALIND: I can't, Amory.

I can't be shut away from the trees and flowers, cooped up in a little flat, waiting for you.
