Susan Sarandon as Beverly Clark
(Susan Sarandon) "We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet -- I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things -- all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.""
