Bohun Monologue from You Never Can Tell

From You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 1:12 min

Yes, I do: all matches are unwise. It's unwise to be born; it's unwise to be married; it's unwise to live; and it's unwise to die. WAITER . Then, if I may respectfully put in a word in, sir, so much the worse for wisdom! Cheer up, sir, cheer up: every man is frightened of marriage when it comes to the point; but it often turns out very comfortable, very enjoyable and happy indeed, sir--from time to time. I never was master in my own house, sir: my wife was like your young lady: she was of a commanding and masterful disposition, which my son has inherited. But if I had my life to live twice over, I'd do it again, I'd do it again, I assure you. You never can tell, sir: you never can tell.
