Stupid!
GEORGE
And there you have it! No doubt it seems ridiculous to you.
THE AGENT (gravely)
Not at all, my boy. I've known marriage to go to smash on far less than that. When you come to think of it, a taste for dancing and a taste for municipal ownership stand at the two ends of the earth away from each other. They represent two different ways of taking life. And if two people who live in the same house can't agree on those two things, they'd disagree on ten thousand things that came up every day. And what's the use for two different kinds of beings to try to live together? It doesn't work, no matter how much love there is between them.
GEORGE
(rushing up to him in surprise and gratification, and shaking his hand warmly) Then you're our friend. You will help us not to get married!
THE AGENT
Your aunt is very set on it—and your uncle, too, Miss!
