[Bernard is proposing to Rose with violins playing]
Rose, I've been a bachelor for 56 years, and then I met you. And we just fell into this rhythm like we had known each other forever. I always dreamed of finding somebody like you, but I'd given up hope that I ever would.
Bernard...
I know, I know. It's crazy. We just met 5 months ago. But 5 months is long enough because I knew after 5 minutes. [he opens an ring box] Rose, I love you. Will you marry me?
Bernard, I'm dying. I'm sick, and I'm dying.
[to the violinists] Would you excuse us for a minute, please?
[Bernard sits down]
I've been in remission for the last couple of years. But now it's back and this time it's not going away. My doctor says I have about a year -- maybe a little longer.
[beat] You haven't answered my question.
