Feast of Love

Awesome quotes from a genuinely worth-watching film, easy paced. It flies by. Don't let the apparently spoilery trailer fool you: It's really not that cheesy if you really listen to what they're saying.
(Dramedy warning: you'll laugh and probably cry too) [Huge SPOILERS in the quotes, obviously]


DAVID: What do you see in this guy?
DIANA: Well, he's not stupid, or inconsiderate. He's not obnoxious, or violent, or boring, or annoying. He's not a bad dresser, he's not unemployed, and he is not unhandsome, either. An absence of disqualifiers is a rare and beautiful thing.
Oh, and did I mention? He's not married, either.


HARRY: It's been lonely for you, I know. And I'm sorry. There's just the two of us now. One day, there'll only be one of us. It's an unbearable prospect.
ESTHER: That's why we have to love each other as hard as we can now, while we still have the chance.


BRADLEY: It seems like I'm just this transition for women on their way to something better.
HARRY: At least it was a man this time. I thought that might be a consolation.
BRADLEY: It's not.
HARRY: Sorry.
BRADLEY: It's worse. How do I make a change? I can't go through this again. Harry, I swear to God, I'll lose my mind.
HARRY: Oh, shit. Bradley, listen. You just gotta stay alert.
BRADLEY: What does that mean? Well, everything we need to know is going on right in front of our eyes. Yeah, we have our illusions about people, our hopes, and they can blind us. But the end is always right there in the beginning.
BRADLEY: Kathryn said I never saw her. Maybe I never saw Diana either. I was just looking for some piece of happiness, so I closed my eyes and jumped.
HARRY: Okay, so next time...
BRADLEY: Don't jump, I know.
HARRY: No, no, no, no, no. Jump! Jump, but with your eyes open.


BRADLEY: Do you think love is a trick nature plays on people so that we'll make more babies? Or do you think that it's everything, the only meaning there is to this crazy dream?
MARGIT: The second one. Which do you believe?
BRADLEY: Unfortunately, the second one.


HARRY: You know when two people belong together. Oscar and Chloe knew it. So did Bradley and Margit. Turns out that Bradley finally found someone who loved him as much as he loved her. They fit together. It's a peculiar thing, what happiness does for people. He actually became friends with Kathryn and Jenny and Diana and David. Bradley realized that you can't hold someone's love against them.
