“- Al Stephenson: So you're gonna break this marriage up. Have you decided yet how you're gonna do it? Are you gonna do it with an axe?

“- Dr. Frank Bryant: We split up, Rita, because of poetry.
- Rita: You what?
- Dr. Frank Bryant: One day, my wife explained to me that, for the past fifteen years, my output as a poet had dealt entirely with the part of our lives in which we discovered each other.”

“- Rita: Are you a poet?
- Dr. Frank Bryant: Was. And so, to give me something new to write about, she left me. A very noble woman, my wife - she left me for the good of literature. And remarkably it worked.
- Rita: What, you wrote a lot of good stuff, did ya?
- Dr. Frank Bryant: No. I stopped writing altogether.”

“Henri, I know this is a really awkward time to do this, but I wanna break up.”
