El secreto de sus ojos (2009)

Irene: Mi vida entera fue mirar para adelante, atrás no es mi jurisdicción. Me declaro incompetente.

Espósito: Usted no sabe qué es el amor de este tipo. Cómo mueve. Es como si la muerte de la mujer lo hubiese dejado ahí detenido para siempre, eterno. ¿Me entiende? Tenés que ver lo que son los ojos de él, Pablo. Están en estado de amor puro. ¿Usted se imagina lo que puede ser un amor así? Sin el desgaste de lo cotidiano, de lo obligatorio.
Irene: Lo dirá por usted, porque a mí no me pasa.

Espósito: ¿Ves? No quiero dejar pasar todo de nuevo. ¿Cómo puede ser? ¿Cómo puede ser que no haga nada? Hace veinticinco años que me pregunto, y hace veinticinco años que me contesto lo mismo. Dejá, fue otra vida. Ya pasó, ya está, no preguntes. No pienses. No fue otra vida. Fue ésta. Es ésta. Ahora quiero entender todo. ¿Cómo se hace para vivir una vida vacía? ¿Cómo se hace para vivir una vida llena de nada? ¿Cómo se hace?

Morales: ¿A usted que le importa, si es mi vida y no la suya?
Espósito: No, Morales, no. Es mi vida, también. Su amor por esa mujer, nunca más volví a ver, en nadie. En nadie. Nunca.

Espósito: No sé. Le doy vueltas y vueltas, y ya no sé qué pensar.
Morales: Elija bien. Lo único que nos queda son recuerdos. Al menos que sean lindos, ¿no?

Morales: No le de más vueltas. Va a empezar con que si hubiera estado, si no hubiera estado... Va a tener mil pasados y ningún futuro. No piense más, hágame caso. Se va a quedar solo con recuerdos.

Espósito: Tengo que hablar con vos.
Irene: Va a ser complicado.
Espósito: No me importa.
Irene: Cerrá la puerta.

Paper Heart (2009)

NICK: So you say you don't believe in love now, but have you always felt that way?
CHARLYNE: I believed in it when I was a kid, but again, all my ideas about love kind of came from movies and faiy tales. And as I grew up I realized that life is nothing like that.
NICK: Was that 'cause you had your heart broken?
CHARLYNE: No. I've only ever had one boyfriend. I thought I really liked him. I thought he was all dark and mysterious and he had shadows under his eyes. But then I realized that was only because he was on drugs.

CHARLYNE: Well, I think everyone means something to someone. And we're all a bit skeptical, but I don't want to end up a lonely old spinster. I don't think anyone wants to.

CHARLYNE: The captain yelled through his megaphone, threatening to shoot, but I didn't care. And I told them that too. I told them, "I don't care! Life is too short to be wondering what if! Sometimes you just gotta live and see what happens, even if you get hurt. Sometimes you can only feel something if you take a risk. And I, Charlyne Yi, am taking that risk. Arghh-hh-hh!"

Báilame el agua (2000)

MARÍA: Voy contigo. Estamos juntos, ¿no? Tú me bailas el agua a mí, y yo te la bailo a ti.

MARÍA: Tú no sabes lo que quieres.
DAVID: Tienes razón. No sé lo que quiero. Tengo miedo de sufrir, tengo miedo de...
MARÍA: Tienes miedo de crecer.
[MARÍA se va]
DAVID: Tengo miedo a que te vayas.

DAVID: Hacía tiempo que no me besabas.
MARÍA: Tú siempre esperas gestos. Yo palabras. Vivimos en mundos distintos.

DAVID: ¿Sabes lo que más me gusta de ti? Tu libertad, tu forma de ver la vida, tu manera de vivir los momentos...
MARÍA: ¿Ya está?
DAVID: Tus besos.

DAVID: Mis sentimientos... mis sentimientos han cambiado, pero siguen siendo mi verdad. Y esa verdad eres tú.

MARÍA: El corazón me resbala por las tuberías de este cuarto y ya no hay forma de sacarlo.

DAVID: Tenía tantas ganas como miedo...
MARÍA: Y yo...

DAVID: Bailame el agua. Úntame de amor y otras fragancias de tu jardín secreto. Sácame de quicio. Hazme sufrir. Ponme a secar como un trapo mojado. Lléname de vida. Líbrame de mi estigma. Llámame tonto. Olvida todo lo que haya podido decirte hasta ahora. No me arrastres, no me asustes. Vete lejos, pero no sueltes mi mano. Empecemos de nuevo. Toca mis ojos. Nota la textura del calor. ¿Por cuánto te vendes? Píllate los dedos. Deja que te invite a un café, caliente, claro. Y sin azúcar... sin aliento.

(500) Days of Summer (2009)

Author's Note: The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Especially you Jenny Beckman. Bitch.

Tom: People don't realize this, but loneliness is underrated.

Tom: What happens when you fall in love?
Summer: You believe in that?
Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus.

Rachel Hansen: Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate.

Vance: [reading a card that Tom has written] Roses are red, violets are blue... Fuck you, whore!

easy peasey

MARSHALL: Being in a couple is hard. And committing, making sacrifices, it's hard. But if it's the right person, then it's easy. Looking at that girl and knowing she's all you really want out of life, that should be the easiest thing in the world, and if it's not like that, then she's not the one. I'm sorry.

TED: I'm single. Maybe that's just who I am. And you know what? I like being single.
BARNEY: Being single's the best.
TED: Yeah, stay out as late as you want.
BARNEY: Answer to no one.
TED: The whole world full of endless possibilities.
BARNEY: Never having to go to a farmer's market.

After Sex (2007)

LESLIE: Love is not negotiable.
CHRIS: Oh, baby, everything's negotiable.
LESLIE: No, not love. Not love. Love is... a guessing game. And that's the beauty of it. There's no guarantees. It's like... diving into a pool of water without knowing if it's shallow or deep. And sure, yeah, if it's shallow, you end up hurt and paralyzed from the neck down. But if it's deep... you know... It's a leap of faith. It's like throwing yourself out there without any guarantees, dude, and that's what life's about. Okay, you know those carnival games, right? And you know how some of them are really hard to win and some of them are super easy and everyone wins?
CHRIS: Sure.
LESLIE: Well, it's just that that's the difference between love and sex. Sex is the game where everyone wins a little prize, and no one goes home a loser. And... love is the game that's really hard to win. But if you do, and you get to take home that life-sized stuffed rhinoceros, it feels a whole lot better than taking home that shitty little plastic key chain.

NIKKI: You don't have to hide the fact that you're gay. I don't care.
KAT: I'm not.
NIKKI: Look, you can do whatever you want. I just don't want you falling in love with me, that's all. I don't have patience for that type of of bullshit, man or woman.

peace

DAVID: I have only ever lived for peace. I lift my eyes to you. And I know I'll find it.

Whatever works (2009)

BORIS: I happen to hate New Year's celebrations. Everybody desperate to have fun. Trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what? A step closer to the grave? That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works. And don't kid yourself, it's by no means all up to your own human ingenuity. A bigger part of your existence is luck than you'd like to admit. Christ, you know the odds of your father's one sperm from the billions, finding the single egg that made you? Don't think about it, you'll have a panic attack.
