Hope
- Marion: Fifty. I didn't think anything turning thirty. Everybody said I would. Then they said I'd be crushed turning forty, but they were wrong. I didn't give it a second's thought. Then they said that I'd be traumatized when I hit fifty, and they were right. I'll tell you the truth, I don't think I've ever recovered my balance since turning fifty.
- Hope: Oh, gee, fifty's not so old.
- Marion: No, I know it isn't, but... you just suddenly look up and see where you are.
- Hope: You're in a good spot, aren't you?
- Marion: Well, I thought I was. But then there's chances gone by you can't have back again.
- Hope: Like what?
- Marion: I don't know. Maybe it would be nice to have a child.
- Hope: You really think that?
- Marion: I do. I never said it before, but I do.
- Hope: She can't allow herself to feel. And the result is she's lead this cold, cerebral life. And its alienated everyone around her.
- Hope: She's pretended for so long that everything's fine, but, you can see clearly how, how lost she is.
- Hope: I really can't believe I'm saying this. Lately, I've had odd feelings about my marriage. Its as if its been - coming apart. And I've been in just so many ways denying it. I must admit, I have moments when I question whether I made the right choice.
- Hope: I guess you can't keep deep feelings closed out forever, you know. So, I just don't want to look up when I'm her age and find that my life is empty.
