happened. Only that Joe kissed her. Constance encourages

MR: It's a toy that will alloy you $110,000 a year to cure
the sick. Now, which is more important? To cure the
sick or to see to it that your brother doesn't have
his toy?
EC: Well, that's the philosophy of fear. Don't try
anything. That way you can't fail. I think we owe
ourselves and Allison more than that.
VM: Marry him.
BA: I said we were just friends.
VM: You can't go wrong. Marry him.
