The Way We Were
1973
(to Katie) Hubbell Gardner: You hold on and I don't know how. And I wish I did. Maybe you were born committed... I can't get negative enough. I can't get angry enough. And I can't get positive enough.
Hubbell Gardner: When you love someone, from Roosevelt to me, you go deaf, dumb and blind.
(discussing advocacy for political causes) Hubbell Gardner: I don't see how you can do it. Katie Morosky Gardner: And I don't see how you can't
Hubbell Gardner: The trouble with some people is they work too hard.
(Katie proposes chucking politics in order to save their marriage) Hubbell Gardner: You're unhappy unless you do something. Because of me, you're trying to lay out, but that's wrong... wrong for you. Commitment is part of you. Part of what makes you attractive, part of what attracted me to you.
Katie Morosky Gardner: Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.
Hubbell Gardner: What kind of pie?
Katie Morosky Gardner: You'll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do or love you as much! Hubbell Gardner: I know that. Katie Morosky Gardner: Well then, why?
Katie Morosky Gardner: Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were old? Then we could say we survived all this. Everything thing would be uncomplicated, the way it was when we were young? Hubbell Gardner: Katie, it was never uncomplicated.
Hubbell Gardner: A... two cheese burgers and four cokes. Katie Morosky Gardner: Onion? Hubbell Gardner: Yeah, in the cokes.
