Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Seemed like about a million years ago. You and me and Molly.
Richard Hazlitt: We wanted to tell you, Seth. We just didn't know how.
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: So, figurin' actions speak louder than words, you eloped.
Richard Hazlitt: We hated running off like that. But when we got back, you'd already left for Portland. I guess I could have tried harder to reach you. But with my business taking off and the kids coming along and Molly gettin' sick like that and goin' so fast, I just never found the words to say I'm sorry.
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: You're sorry? Richard, I'm the one that should apologize. If I hadn't been too blind to see how Molly felt, the two of you wouldn't have had to run away in the first place. By the time I did realize it, I suppose I did a little running on my own. Even after I'd married Ruth, I still couldn't bring myself to make the first move. And now Ruth's gone too. And here we sit. Two of the biggest fools that ever drew breath.
Richard Hazlitt: What do you say we stop wasting it? [raises a glass] To us.
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: [raises his glass] You said it, Brother.
