I wouldn’t be a proper man if I didn’t find a woman doubly attractive for being so obviously helpless.

Now Dr. Rank, cheer up. You’ll see tomorrow how nicely I can dance. And you can pretend I’m doing it just for you—and for Torvald as well, of course.
I would not be a true man if your feminine helplessness did not make you doubly attractive in my eyes.
