Transcript:

Man: I think it best to inform you that a legend will, in short order, spring up around me, largely on account of you. Woman: And how will that happen? Man: Irresistibly, if you must know. Man: For I have wed a woman of such haunting beauty....that fable must inevitably pursue fact. In years to come, it will be said that my beloved was a heart stopping blend of galatea, helen of troy, marie of romania and daisy mae scragg. Man: Your face will be the stuff of legend, your body veiled in mythos...in particular, your penchant for daring, slit skirts. Woman: you'd like me to buy a slit skirt, wouldn't you? Man: Only to conform to mythos.
