Out of Africa
Karen: “When you go away …
you don’t always go on safari, do you?
Just want to be away.”
Denys: “It’s not meant to hurt you.”
Karen: “It does.”
Denys: “I’m with you because I choose to be with you.
I don’t want to live someone else’s idea of how to live.
Don’t ask me to do that.
I don’t want to find out one day that I’m at the end of someone else’s life.
I’m willing to pay for mine.
To be lonely sometimes.
To die alone, if I have to.
I think that’s fair.”
Karen: “Not quite.
You want me to pay for it as well.”
Denys: “No, you have a choice,
and you’re not willing to do the same
for me.”
