Hamhock: So you had an arranged marriage for a peace treaty, but the treaty didn't hold. Why not just get a divorce? Tyr: A divorce?? Never! Norse culture values the bond of marriage too much to dissolve it! Hamhock: But you don't value peace treaties enough not to dissolve them? Tyr: We really love fighting. Hamhock: Also explaining why you stay married.

Caine corrects him, martial arts. Martial arts is about fighting. And the old man says something like it’s clear you’ve never been married.
