Quote #4
JERRY: Lise, I don't know whether you're a girl of mystery or just a still water that doesn't run deep, but there's one thing I can tell you. I'd been around sooner, you'd know by now that you're very pretty, and I'm not making fun with you.
Lise's mysterious side is one of Jerry's biggest obstacles in winning her over. It's also one of the things he finds most attractive about her. Of course, we know that her mysteriousness is the by-product of the fact that she's engaged to another guy, but whatever; Jerry digs it.
Quote #5
JERRY: What gets me is, I don't know anything about her. We manage to be together for a few moments, and then off she goes. Sometimes we have a wonderful time together, and other times it's no fun at all. But I got to be with her.
The fact that Lise refuses to talk about what she does when she's away from Jerry and she has a habit of running away for seemingly no reason would be two massive red flags for us. What is it they say about love being blind? Jerry's got some serious blinders on.
