Edward Cole (Nicholson): Only successful marriage I had was me and my work. I started making money when I was 16, and that was that. I never stopped. Carter Chambers (Freeman): I'll be damned. I wanted to be a history professor. Edward Cole (Nicholson): Nobody's perfect. Carter Chambers (Freeman): I made it through two months of City College before Virginia gave me the news. And then...you know; young, black, broke, baby on the way. Take the first decent job that comes along. I always meant to go back. Forty-five years goes by pretty fast. Edward Cole (Nicholson): Like smoke through a keyhole.
