X: I don't care Bill. I love her.
Y: How perfect for you - to take whatever you want because it pleases you. That's not love.
X: Then what is it?
Y: Some aimless infatuation which, for the moment, you feel like indulging - it's missing everything that matters.
X: Which is what?
Y: Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love.
X: So that's what love is according to William Parrish?
Y: Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.
