What kind of guy does Marina dig: eloquent and handsome or athletic and handsome?
I rather suspect athletic and handsome. Reason: a guy who is athletic and handsome allows Marina to have some territory for herself in the relationship.
Opposite or complimentary personalties attract and are successful as long as they have common values and goals.
But of what value are words, philosophies?
All I want to do is take a long run off the high dive board, get a good jump at the end, and dive right into Marina. Save the talk for later...much later.
-- Pal Joey
"If they ask me, I could write a book,
about the way you walk and whisper, and look.
I could write a preface, on how we met,
so the world would never forget.
And the simple secret of the plot,
is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
Then the world discovers, as my book ends,
how to make two lovers of friends."
("I Could Write A Book," Rodgers and Hart, from 'Pal Joey')
