Mary loves Ed very much
because never ever has a man cared for her so much. But recently, Mary learns that
Ed used to have a girlfriend, and she's very upset and confides in Jane....
Mary:
Jane, I'm very
upset about something. Can I talk with you? I'd like your opinion.
Jane:
What is it about? Oh, is it
about Ed?
Mary:
Yeah, sort
of....
Jane:
So, what's up?
Mary:
What do you
think of Ed, Jane?
Jane:
What do I think of him? You
know him better than I do, don't you?
Mary:
Please, don't
tease me. Just tell me.
Jane:
Well, remember the other day when
you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration?
Mary:
Uh-hunh...
Jane:
And remember you said that he
really makes you happy?
Mary:
Yeah. (Heave a
sigh) Ed is indeed a gentleman. He has wonderful manners and is respectful of
me. But I'm really bothered by his past!
Jane:
His past!? Was he an ex-con or something?
Mary:
No, no,
no. That's not what I mean. He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very
much. He almost married her if it were not for an accident.
Jane:
Oh, I see. But why are you
so bothered? That's already a history, isn't it?
Mary:
I know.
But I just can't get it off my mind.
Jane:
Come on, Mary. You're just
being a little jealous, but that's just fine. You know, when you love him, you've
got to love his past, his everything.... You've got to love him as a whole.
