"Golde, I have decided to give Perchik permission to become engaged to our daughter, Hodel."
(--Golde--)
"What??? He's poor! He has nothing, absolutely nothing!"
(--Tevye--)
"He's a good man, Golde.
I like him. And what's more important, Hodel likes him. Hodel loves him.
So what can we do?
It's a new world... A new world. Love. Golde..."
Do you love me?
(--Golde--)
Do I what?
(--Tevye--)
Do you love me?
(--Golde--)
Do I love you?
With our daughters getting married
And this trouble in the town
You're upset, you're worn out
Go inside, go lie down!
Maybe it's indigestion
(--Tevye--)
"Golde I'm asking you a question..."
Do you love me?
(--Golde--)
You're a fool
(--Tevye--)
"I know..."
But do you love me?
(--Golde--)
Do I love you?
For twenty-five years I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked the cow
After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?
(--Tevye--)
Golde, The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day
I was scared
(--Golde--)
I was shy
(--Tevye--)
I was nervous
(--Golde--)
So was I
(--Tevye--)
But my father and my mother
Said we'd learn to love each other
And now I'm asking, Golde
Do you love me?
(--Golde--)
I'm your wife
(--Tevye--)
"I know..."
But do you love me?
(--Golde--)
Do I love him?
For twenty-five years I've lived with him
Fought him, starved with him
Twenty-five years my bed is his
If that's not love, what is?
(--Tevye--)
Then you love me?
(--Golde--)
I suppose I do
(--Tevye--)
And I suppose I love you too
(--Both--)
It doesn't change a thing
But even so
After twenty-five years
It's nice to know
