If theres one thing I hate more than another, it's a widow. Promise me that youll never be a widow. (MRS DUBEDAT: My dear, what do you mean?) I want you to look beautiful. I want people to see in your eyes that you were married to me. The people in Italy used to point at Dante and say "There goes the man who has been in hell." I want them to point at you and say "There goes a woman who has been in heaven." It has been heaven, darling, hasnt it--sometimes? (MRS DUBEDAT: Oh yes, yes. Always, always.) If you wear black and cry, people will say "Look at that miserable woman: her husband made her miserable."
