Nels Halverson: I'd like to marry you.
Viola Johnson: And live here of course.
[Nels nods]
Viola Johnson: Nels, I dont want to hurt your feelings but, that's like saying, 'I want to put you in jail; I want you to associate with dull, dreary people all the rest of your life; I want to deny you all the opportunities of a civilized world.'
Nels Halverson: I thought I was saying, 'Let me make you happy; let's live where human nature's real; let's live close to people.' Funny how different the same words can sound to two people.
Viola Johnson: Yes it is
Viola Johnson: And live here of course.
