A life unfulfilled.

A life without love.

You've sentenced me to a life of loneliness.

in a life with a man I could neither love nor respect.

You both know I never had a twinge of the miseries in all my life.

Oh no, Mr. Drysdale, I didn't do it to get a raise.

Well, Miss Gloria, if you're determined to marry a mountain man and none other, and unless you do it, your life will be ruined, maybe, and I get to know you better, I could find a way.

Got a lot to do with signing and dancing and getting better acquainted.

Something about it seems to close in on a boy and keep him small and immature all his life.

Why, it'd be a terrible shame if you was to never to get married and raise a flock of young'uns.

And just for that, when it comes your turn, you're going to get a double dose.

But, but... This pretty young city woman says that unless she can marry a mountain man, she just ain't gonna get married at all.

Her and me had a nice long talk about it, and that's the reason I brought her home, so she could meet the family, kind of get acquainted.
