He says maybe they are looking for a happy ending; they should try to be together and it is okay to be miserable.

On the way out the door Lizzie runs into Edmund and hugs him goodnight. Edmund comes into the room with Phillip. He offers him some cognac but Phillip declines.

Edmund says he thinks Beth has suffered from Phillip's need to control her life and mentions that Jim saw it too. Phillip says that Jim detested Edmund. Edmund tells him that he and Jim came to a meeting of the minds. Edmund said Jim was a fine man and cared for his family but didn't like Phillip, which shows good judgment on his part. Phillip tells Edmund that he doesn't have any of Jim's good qualities either. Edmund said that is true but he doesn't have his shortcomings either when it comes to Phillip.
