Mildred Pierce:
You can do me a great kindness.
Monte Beragon:
If I can.
Mildred Pierce:
Ask me you marry you.
Monte Beragon:
Why?
Mildred Pierce:
Well, I must say your attitude isn't exactly enthusiastic.
Monte Beragon:
You went to considerable trouble to get rid of me once so naturally I'm a little startled by your proposal of marriage.
[coyly]
Monte Beragon:
This is so sudden, Mildred.
Mildred Pierce:
I have my own personal reason for wanting to marry you.
Monte Beragon:
The reason name Veda, I think.
Mildred Pierce:
Why should it be?
Monte Beragon:
Because you're reason for doing anything is usually Veda.
Mildred Pierce:
Well, whether it is or isn't, what's your answer?
Monte Beragon:
I can't afford you, Mildred. You have money and I haven't. All I have is pride and a name and I can't sell either.
