HOWARD

I knew who you were.

EMILY

I don't understand. Why did you put up with it?

HOWARD

I thought it was love. Accepting you... unconditionally. But now I think it was something more like cowardice. Like if I confronted you, I would lose you.

EMILY

And you didn't want to lose me.

HOWARD

I didn't.
