LON: You know, I”ve been thinking a lot about why we shouldn”t get married. At first, I couldn”t think of any reasons. But then it dawned on me. The one dark secret that will absolutely be the wedge that keeps us apart. Your parents. Dear old Mom and Dad. You see, here”s the problem. They love me. I am exactly the type of man your parents want you to marry. From the south, have a good job… And an absolutely wonderful dancer, if I do say so myself. If you marry me, your parents will be ecstatic, and you will have lost a lifelong battle of defiance against them. See what I”m saying? I think you have to marry me. Because if you do, your parents will always know the unhappiness you feel for not being able to disappoint them. Imagine the guilt they would feel for not allowing you to choose your husband unwisely. They”d be racked with guilt. They”d be miserable. So even though you”ve technically lost, you”ve really won.More Monologues from “The Notebook”RelatedShareTweetPin
