— If only I’d known that Tanya was filing for a divorce, I would have talked her out of it, and we’d have been together. I love her, and she didn’t even call after the divorce. She says she didn’t want to get involved in my life because I’m married. So what if I’m married?!
— But you really are married—to a wonderful woman who loves you.
— I don’t care, do you understand? If you like my wife so much—take her for yourself!
