Tevye: Do you love me? Golde: Do I what? Tevye: Do you love me? Golde: Do I love you? With our daughters getting married and this trouble in the town, You're upset. You want out. Go inside. Go lie down. Maybe it's indigestion. Tevye: Golde, I'm asking you a question. Do you love me? Golde: You're a fool! Tevye: I know. But do you love me? Golde: Do I love you? For twenty-five years, I've washed your clothes, Cooked your meals, cleaned your house, Given you children, milked the cow. After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now? Tevye: The first time I met you was on our wedding day. I was scared.
Golde: I was shy. Tevye: I was nervous. Golde: So was I. Tevye: But my father and my father said we'd learn to love each other. So, now I'm asking, Golde... Tevye: Do you love me? Golde: I'm your wife! Tevye: I know. But do you love me? Golde: Do I love him? For twenty-five years, I've lived with him, Fought with him, starved with him. For twenty-five years, my bed is his. If that's not love, what is? Tevye: Then you love me? Golde: I suppose I do. Tevye: And I suppose I love you, too. Together: It doesn't change a thing, but even so, After twenty-five years, it's nice to know
