Dialogue from "The Razor's Edge" (1984)

 Oh, Larry,

you've had your fling now.

For your own sake,

I beg of you to come home with us.

I wouldn't make you happy

if I did.

You see, what you forget is that

I want to learn as passionately as...

Well, as Gray, for example,

wants to make a lot of money.

I came over here

because I was restless,

and because my mind

was muddled.

I came looking for the answers

to a lot of questions.

Some of them I've found.

Others I may never find.

But I can't stop now.

Oh, I know it sounds

vague and trivial compared with...

Well, compared with everything

that's happening at home today.

And I know I'm being

very difficult.

But I can't stop now, Isabel.

I just can't!

But what would happen to America

if everyone did as you're doing?

The answer to that is

that everyone doesn't feel as I do.

Fortunately for themselves,

most people are just content

to follow the normal course

and take things as they are.

Oh, I wish I could, too.

But I know if I tried, I'd just make

a mess of your life, and of mine, too.

But

what's this all

going to lead to?

I don't know.
