Looking down at Anna, he gets the feeling that if he can just break thru her tough façade, she will let her true feelings out and they can move forward.
"My dear, Anna. Since you witnessed the exchange between my daughter and me, I sense that you have been projecting those same attitudes on me as they relate to you. That could not be any further from the truth. Do you want me to honestly believe that you and I have not developed true feelings for each other. Have I ever given you any indication that I do not care very deeply for you . . . I was beginning to feel that I was falling in love with you."
Pausing to let that sink in, "You need to understand that my daughter and my ex-wife hate me; although my ex-wife was fucking around with out neighbor and I caught them, they seem to think that the divorce was my fault and that I still owe them. I hate to use the term, but they both think I am their 'sugar daddy' . . . but I refuse to give them anymore than they are already getting."
"When I look back over the past few months for us, I am no longer your sugar daddy . . . and you are no longer my 'sugar baby'. Yes, I call you my baby girl, but, Anna, I am in love you with; tell me you aren't falling in love with me. I can, and will, accept your decision about our future."
