So many dialogues about death

Gay: What makes you so sad? You're the saddest girl I ever met.

Gay: Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin's as natural as livin'. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live.

Gay: What's eatin' you?
Guido: Just my life.

Roslyn: We're all dying aren't we. We're not teaching each other what we really know, are we?

Gay: Honey, nothing can live unless something dies.

Guido: You have the gift for life, Rosylyn. The rest of us, we're just looking for a place to hide and watch it all go by.


And all three male characters had some kind of suicidal tendency: Guido's driving and flying, Gay's falling from the car, fighting with the horse and Perce's Rodeo. It is just weird to see the writer, Miller, combined those mediocre comedic scenes and "sexy" scenes(most of them are in the first half before Thelma Ritter left) with so many death related words and actions. And this scirpt was supposed to be written for his wife. What a good influence!
