Who Invented Liquid Soap, and Why?

The ending from 'The Sure Thing' (1985) is a little treasure. Perfect! Script was written by Steve Bloom (source).

Script of ending:
-All right. Here we go.
I've got a very pleasant surprise today.
Comes from an unlikely source.
Walter Gibson.
It is called The Sure Thing.
"'lt could be tonight,' he thought...
"as he stood in the corner, pretending to have a good time.
"He would meet her tonight.
"All his young life, he had dreamed of a girl like this.
"5'6", silky hair...
"trim, nubile body..."
"Nubile," by the way, is spelled with a "u."
"...nubile body that really knew how to move...
"and soft, deeply tanned skin.
"Now, as for personality traits, she needed only one.
"She had to love sex, and all the time.
"To arrive at this moment, he had traveled vast distances...
"enduring many hardships:
"abject poverty, starvation...
"show tunes, you name it.
"From across the room he saw her. She was perfect.
"He knew almost nothing about her, and she didn't know much more about him.
"lt was exactly how it was supposed to be. He brought her to his room.
"The lights were soft, the moment was right.
"Then she leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"'Do you love me?'
"Thoughts raced through his mind. Did she really want him?
"What had he done to deserve this bounty? Does God exist?
"Who invented liquid soap, and why?
"'Do you love me?' Staring into her eyes...
"he knew that she really needed to hear it.
"But for the first time in his life, he knew these were no longer just words.
"And if he said it, it would be a lie.
"'Do you love me?' she whispered.
'Do you love me?'
"lt would not be tonight.
"The answer was'no."'
He was a traitor!
You didn't sleep with her?
Still seeing Jason?
We broke up.
That's too bad.
You didn't sleep with her.
She wasn't my type.

P.P.S I wrote about this movie before in blogpost 'Sure' (2018). Unfortunally I can't find on The Internet a place where I can watch this movie again. I'd love to, together with you at the same time ... after watching together the whole movie, kiss you goodnight and dream away with you in an eternal us.
