The wife said, "Do you know why people got married? It is because they want a
witness in their life. The world is so big and we are so small and lonely and
everyone is doing their own business. We need someone who witness that we

we do."
Melvin Udall: I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows
you re the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates
how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with
Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say
what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that s all about
being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch
them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their
tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the
fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.
Melvin Udall: Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started
taking the pills.
Carol Connelly: I don t quite get how that s a compliment for me.
Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.
Carol Connelly: ...That s maybe the best compliment of my life.
