Iris and Marlize in “Unfinished Business”

Your husband has gone too far, and I think you know it, or you'd be with him right now.

Yes, I left my husband. But that doesn't change the fact that he's right. If anything, his betrayal proves his very point. Man corrupts even the best of ideas.

"Pessimism isn't smarter than optimism. In this life, the bravest thing you can be is optimistic."

Familiar words.

You said them when you were at Oxford. Two weeks before you met Clifford DeVoe.

I gave a speech. On technology and the elimination of world hunger. I truly believed it could be done.

He tried to change you, Marlize. But I think, deep down, you are still an optimist. You still believe in humanity. And I believe in you. You asked me what I was willing to do for my husband. And now I'm gonna ask you... What are you willing to do for the world?
