    • "You can't live forever" -- Myrtle
    Myrtle is Tom's "sweetie" as they are having an affair even though she's married to George Wilson. The only reason she is having an affair with Tom is because he's got the money, the looks and his life is everything that she wants her life too be. In comparison too Tom, George [who had to borrow a suit for his wedding day and works at a gas station] is boring and isn't worth it, even though George treats her with respect and Tom treats her like a dog.
