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.
It always bothers me that George actually stole her away from his friend, who ends up being insanely rich. So without George it's most likely that she would have married that dude and wound up a wealthy socialite in Manhattan.
It's like they wrote the first half of the movie and just kinda forgot her entire story and we're like "what's a woman without a husband?" "Oh yeah, a librarian that needs glasses because she reads too much."
