They say the Cato the Censor (a self-righteous prig of a man in many ways) felt it beneath his stoic sensiblities to hug his wife. But he loved thunderstorms, because she would run to him and wrap her arms around him in fear of the storms.

"I'd have to fake it..."

"and he'd know it, but enjoy it anyway!"
We are talking about a movie, right?
