Do you ever quarrel?
MARIE
[Grandly.] Only when our Passionate Love surges up.
JULIE
Your passionate love?
MARIE
Yes. . . . He takes my hand and we walk along together. Then he wants to swing hands, but I won’t let him. I say: “Don’t swing my hand”; and he says, “Don’t be so stubborn.” And then he tries to swing my hand again, but still I don’t let him. And for a long time I don’t let him—until in the end I let him. Then we walk along swinging hands—up and down, up and down—just like this. That is Passionate Love. It’s sinful, but it’s awfully thrilling.
JULIE
You’re happy, aren’t you?
