girl but he can't ask her

because he feels weighed

down with all of this.

He feels ashamed, he feels

there's some kind of curse on him.

A curse?

Yes. But you could help, Leo.

Tell him.

You know all the facts,

you know what happened.

Ted and I... were lovers.

I'm not a child any more, Marian...

to be ordered about.

Please!

You owe it to us... to Ted and me.

Do you remember...

.. what that summer was like?

There hasn't been such a

beautiful summer since.

And what was the most

beautiful thing in it?

Our feelings for each other.

And it was beautiful love.

Wouldn't you feel proud to be

descended from such a union?

Yes. Yes, I would.

So tell him.

Tell him... everything.

Make my grandson give up this

ridiculous notion that he

can't marry.

Every man should get married.

You too, Leo.

You're all dried up.

I can see that.

It's not too late.

Don't YOU feel the need for love?

Tell my grandson there's

no spell or curse,

except an unloving heart.
