We haven't spent time together for a long time.
It's been a week.
A week is a long time when you're in love.

You know, in some ways your mother hasn't changed since the first day I fell in love with her 20 years ago.
And in other ways?
She's mean. Really, really mean...I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I love her. It's just that lately it's a lot tougher to love her.
You know, I'm so glad I have to go to work because I don't like where this conversation is going.
[to Mary] Marry me. We belong together and I love you.
I'm quitting school.
What?
I'm quitting school. No more college.
I didn't know how much teaching meant to you.
Well, it's not the teaching really. It's being around kids. You know how much I've always loved having children in my life, working with them, helping them. You know, in a couple of years, Sam and David, they'll be in school. Ruthie's doing great. Simon's in high school. Robbie and Lucy are in college, Mary's in New York and Matt's going off to medical school. So...our kids need me, but they don't need me. If I teach every year, I'll have a new batch of kids who I'll need to help the way I helped our kids. It's the perfect job for me. All I have to do is take what I've been doing at home for the last 20 years and put it in the classroom. I can do it. I think I'll be good at it.
I'll help. I've always supported you in whatever you wanted to do. I love you. I want you to be happy.
I want to be happy, too.
Lately, with all the changes I've been going through I found that sometimes I'm more comfortable in the company of women. I love you, but you know, sometimes I need to talk to a woman.
Why is that?
I don't know. Women: we're all part of a club. Rich, poor, fat, thin, happy, unhappy, we're all going through the same things. And you can be a lot of things for me, but no matter how hard you try, you'll never be a woman.
Never wanted to be until now. But I get your point. You and me, we're okay?
We're better than okay.
(to Eric and Annie) I'm gonna be... a gynecologist.
Well, he does love women.
