Cpl. Allison, USMC:
I, uh... I've never loved anyone or anybody before... I've never even *lived* before. Never really... lived... inside. That's why I want to ask you to marry me. I want to look after you... not only while we're here but for the rest of our lives. So, tell me, ma'am, if there's a chance. [awkward pause] Cpl. Allison, USMC:
I don't mean to give offense. ma'am, but... is there? Sister Angela:
No, Mr. Allison. You see, I've already given my heart... to Jesus Christ, our Lord. Cpl. Allison, USMC:
Like you was engaged or somethin'? Sister Angela:
Yes. [shows him her left hand] Sister Angela:
This is the ring, and when I take my final vows, I'll wear a gold one: a marriage ring. Cpl. Allison, USMC:
Oh, I didn't know it was set up like that. I guess I didn't have no right to speak. [slaps the box beside him, stands up] Cpl. Allison, USMC:
Well, I guess I'll go fix that lean-to for ya!
