Saffy: I don't want to be seen as some sex object. Paolo: I don't think of you as a sex object. Saffy (disappointed): Don't you? Are you sure? Paolo: It's never crossed my mind. Saffy: Well that's good. Because my sexuality is mine to give, not yours to take. Anyway that's not the point. You see women as either whores… Paolo: …or goddesses. Saffy: As mistresses or jezebels. Paolo: Or brides and mothers. Saffy: And you just want control, and we just bare the burden of the passive deadsun. Paolo: Saffy... will you marry me? Saffy (gasps): Yes!
