| ""I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know...I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. There isn't another soul on this planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me." ~ Ben Affleck, Chasing Amy "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." ~ Julia Roberts, Steel Magnolias "She rescues him right back." ~ Ibid, Pretty Woman "You know that place between sleep and awake? The place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting." ~ Ibid, Hook "So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it?" ~ Ibid, My Best Friend's Wedding "My life is so screwed up right now, I can't tell my Kotex cards from my credit pads." ~ Ibid, The Mexican "I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some time, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But, I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me." ~Ibid, Runaway Bride "After all, I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Ibid, Notting Hill "Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because I don't think I can handle it." ~ Ibid, Erin Brockovich (Anyone else notice J. Ro has the greatest lines? Her writers should make $20 million!) "There is fate, but it only takes you so far. Once you're there, it's up to you to make it happen." ~ Jenna Elfman, Can't Hardly Wait ""You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You're chicken. You've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other,' because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a 'wild thing,' and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." ~Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's "Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. The truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived." ~ Anthony Hopkins, Meet Joe Black "Don't look at me in that tone of voice!" ~ Rebecca Wells, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood "Love is a gift, not an obligation." ~ Salma Hayek, Fools Rush In "Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for? And what is worth dying for? The answer to each of these questions is the same: only love." ~ Miguel Cervantes, Don Juan DeMarco "No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you! You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how." "I love you. In spite of you and me, and the whole world going to pieces around us, I love you." ~ Clark Gable, Gone With the Wind "I need to believe in the extraoridinary. I need to believe in you." ~Jennifer Connelly, A Beautiful Mind "You see how picky I am about my shoes, and they only go on my feet." ~ Alicia Silverstone, Clueless |
