Althoff mentioned that 50% of marriages end in divorce, to which Durant responded,

“That's not good odds.”

“Yeah. But still, that's like banking on the rest, like, forever though. … I don't know if I want to take those odds.”

“Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”

“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
