Young Denis Thatcher : Margaret, will you marry me?
[a pause, Margaret stares at him]
Young Denis Thatcher : Well?
Young Margaret Thatcher : [Margaret is still staring, Denis kisses her hand] Yes. Yes!
Young Denis Thatcher : [Margaret starts to cry from happiness, Denis leans in for a kiss, but she suddenly pulls back] What?
Young Margaret Thatcher : I love you so much but, I will never be one of those women, Denis. Who stays silent and pretty on the arm of her husband. Or remote and alone in the kitchen - doing the washing up, for that matter.
Young Denis Thatcher : [interrupts] I'm going to help with that...
Young Margaret Thatcher : No. One's life must matter, Dennis. Beyond all the cooking and the cleaning and the children. One's life must mean more than that. I cannot die washing up a teacup! I mean it, Denis. Say you understand.
Young Denis Thatcher : That's why I want to marry you, my dear.
