Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra in Sinatra

You can always have me. When we're married.

[short pause] She's not gonna give me a divorce, Ava.

Why wouldn't she give you a divorce if you don't love her?

Because she's Italian. She's Catholic. Why don't you ask her?

You're not trying hard enough.

[sighs] What the hell do you know about it?

I know that if you really wanted a divorce you could get one. You've gotten everything else you wanted in life.

Ava, stop...

You just want it both ways, that's all this is.

No, I want it one way, with you and you alone. No billionaires, no band leaders, no bull fighters.

You can have me alone when I get you alone. And in the meantime, maybe the best way to get that if you just left me alone.

Are you crazy?

This is torture, Frank. It's wrecking my career. I just can't do this anymore!

Two minutes ago, we were happy. What was different then?

I was being a sap. I want you to go home and get a divorce.
