Richard: [Margaret has a surprise 50th birthday party, her husband holds a lit cake before her] Make a wish.
Margaret: You know, Richard said the other day how time flies, but Richard always says things like that, that are kind of obvious. Um... I do. I do. Yeah. And, you know, but it made me think when I was 30, if I thought about 50, I thought, "That is an awful long way away, and I don't really need to think about it," and... and then I blinked and I'm 50. That's crazy!
Richard: Time flies.
Margaret: I wish I could say that I've done more with my 50 years. Um, my amazing daughter, though, she just made senior partner-- Apparently the youngest to ever do so-- And she is one tough, brilliant attorney, isn't she?
Richard: She is that, yes.
Margaret: Yeah. Um, but I never made it to law school.
[Gets choked up]
Margaret: And I never got to see Paris in the spring, and I never got to stay over in Yellowstone because it was too crowded or...
Richard: Sweetheart, your candles.
Margaret: Well, no, it's just that I put things off, and I kept putting them off. And I would say, "Oh, we'll do it next year." And then that next year would come, and I'd say, "Oh, next year, next year." And...
[trembling]
Margaret: I don't want to do that anymore.
Party Guest: It's okay, Margaret... Yeah, it's okay.
Richard: Blow out your candles.
Margaret: Yeah...
[Margaret blows out her candles, blacking out the room.]
