late at night

Although the protagonist of Morris's soul may be Hugh Grant, my favorite is the Alec line of part2, not only because of this line HE, but also because of the teenager waiting for Morris in the houseboat. I really liked this scene so much, the person walking out of the flowers, wearing an overly loose coat, with a messy curly hair, with mud on the soles of his shoes, there was a look on his face whether it was his stupidity or his stubbornness. But he is such a small person, and he is also the enlightener and savior of the noble son.

I always feel that it is too conventional and too advanced to say love to him, but his starting point is love. He doesn't say "love", maybe the lowly immigrant thinks it's just something for the upper class in the UK, he just says "share", let's share, "sleep", sleep with me tonight, "serious", I Seriously accuse this gentleman. It was a firewood accidentally lit, eager and merciless, burning Morris's sleepless nights, his securities, legal ethics, and all his stupid suspicions. There is no Plato, we are of the same kind and we can do everything.

So in the rainy night in England, they walked into the green forest, kissed in the houseboat, and announced: "Now, we shan't never be parted. It's finished."

Young and impulsive Alec, he stayed up all night waiting for love, and because he stayed up all night, he was the most awake of the three.

    Maurice Hall: It's a chance in a thousand we met. You know it. Why don't you stay?

    Alec Scudder: Stay? With you? How? And where? With your Ma? Oh yeah. What would she say if she saw me? All rough and ugly the way I am. My people wouldn't take to you one bit. I don't blame them, either. And how would you run your job, I'd like to know?

    Maurice Hall: I shall chuck it.

    Alec Scudder: Your job in the City? What gives you money and position? You talk like a man who's never had to earn his living.

    Maurice Hall: You can do anything. Once you know what it is. We can live without money, without people. We can live without position. We're not fools. We're both strong. There'd be some place we could go.

    Alec Scudder: Wouldn't work, Maurice. Be the ruin of
