Belos diálogos: Marty (1955)

Marty (1955), escrito por Paddy Chayefsky e realizado por Delbert Mann.

MARTY
Oh, I cry all the time, any little thing. My brothers, my brother-in- laws, they're always telling me what a goodhearted guy I am. Well, you don't get goodhearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you get to be a real professor of pain. I know exactly how you feel. And I also want you to know I'm having a very good time with you now and really enjoying myself. So you see, you're not such a dog as you think you are.

CLARA
I'm having a very good time, too.

MARTY
So there you are. So I guess I'm not such a dog as I think I am.

CLARA
You're a very nice guy, and I don't know why some girl hasn't grabbed you off long ago.

MARTY
I don't know either. I think I'm a very nice guy. I also think I'm a pretty smart guy in my own way.
Now I figure, two people get married, and they gonna live together forty, fifty years. So it's just gotta be more than whether they're good looking or not. You tell me you think you're not very good-looking. My father was a really ugly man, but my mother adored him. She told me that she used to get so miserable sometimes, like everybody, you know? And she says my father always tried to understand. I used to see them sometimes when I was a kid, sitting in the living room, talking and talking, and I used to adore my old man, because he was so kind. That's one of the most beautiful things I have in my life, the way my father and mother were. And my father was a real ugly man. So it doesn't matter if you look like a gorilla. So you see, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are.

CLARA
I'm twenty-nine years old. How old are you?

MARTY
I'm thirty-four.
