[last lines]
Sally Athelny : Philip, you're free.
Philip Carey : Yes, but suddenly... suddenly there's nowhere to go.
Cabbie at End : Taxi, sir?
Philip Carey : No thanks. No.
[to Sally]
Philip Carey : I had to be free to realize that. I had to be free to understand that all those years that I'd dreamed of escape, it was because I was limping through life.
Cabbie at End : Taxi, sir?
Philip Carey : No thank you!
[continuing]
Philip Carey : And because I was bound up with a person who was incredible to me. That's all over. I'm not limping anymore. My life's all right.
Sally Athelny : Then why don't you go?
Philip Carey : Because everything that's beautiful to me is... is right here. Won't you please marry me, Sally?
Sally Athelny : If you like.
Philip Carey : But don't you want to?
Sally Athelny : Well, there's no one else I'd marry.
[Philip goes to kiss her, but stops when a man on the street stares at them]
Cabbie at End : How about a taxi, sir?
Philip Carey : What?
Cabbie at End : How about a taxi?
Philip Carey : Yes!
[Philip and Sally get in the cab and kiss]
