It's a Wonderful Life (1946): "You're not going to like it, George. She's a fucking nerd."
(sh.itjust.works)
Mary's horrendous and shameful fate without George Bailey.
George:Clarence, where's Mary?
Clarence:"She's just about to close up the library!!!"
Watching this scene as an adult and laughing my ass off every time has become one of my favorite holiday traditions.
Honestly imagine being Mary and just trying to leave work after a long day, when this weird shit happens.
This is timely. I just read a fantastic article all about how Mary becoming a spinster without George probably isn't as goofy (or as overtly sexist) as it seems. Quite a thought provoking article.
Wow, good read.
She just wouldn't settle for anything less than someone with big dreams who sacrifices them for the wellbeing of others, and how she keeps giving and giving tirelessly to make those big dreams come true.
They are both extremely worthy of each other, and it makes sense that she'd choose no other in a world without him
