(Desperately.) But I haven't said a single thing I wanted to. I'm a business man and I want to put it all in a business way, if you understand what I mean. (ELIZABETH: I don't believe you're a very good business man.) (Sharply.) You don't know what you're talking about. I'm a first-rate business man, but somehow this is different. (Hopelessly.) I don't know why it won't go right. (ELIZABETH: What are we going to do about it?) You see, it's not just because you're awfully pretty that I love you. I'd love you just as much if you were old and ugly. It's you I love, not what you look like. And it's not only love; love be blowed! It's that I like you so tremendously. I think you're such a ripping good sort. I just want to be with you. I feel so jolly and happy just to think you're there. I'm so awfully fond of you.
