Danger

Walt: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see?
Do you know how much I make a year?
I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it.
Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work?
A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up.
Disappears! It ceases to exist without me.
No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in.
I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger!
A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me?
No. I am the one who knocks!
Breaking Bad (2013)

Assurance

Betty: Hey. I could have had any guy, any guy,
but I chose you. I chose you.
Gilbert: Why did you?
Betty: Because... I knew you'd always be there.
Because I knew you'd never leave.

Heartbeats


Gwen: Come in, I've been expecting you
There's a knock on the door and love walks through
And lights a fire and smiles a smile
As if love were going to stay a while
And the fire breathes and weaves its spell
But then love runs out of lies to tell
For love is restless, love's a flirt
Love has places to go and people to hurt
So here's the shovel to smother the flame
Tomorrow you'll barely remember my name
And I'll try to forget you, my dearest one
As a prisoner tries to forget the sun
For life holds no purpose, and love holds no charms
Since I beheld you in another's arms.
Til There Was You (1997)

There Are Still a Few Men Who Love Desperately (4)

Valmont: I want you somehow...somehow...
to get to see Madame de Tourvel.
I understand she is very ill.
That is why this is most important to me.
I want you to tell her that I cannot explain why I broke with her as I did.
But that since then, my life has been worth nothing.
I pushed the blade in deeper than you just have my boy...
and now I need you to help me withdraw it.
Tell her it is lucky for her that I have gone...
and I am glad not to have to live without her.
Tell her, her love was the only real happiness that I have ever known.
Will you do that for me?
Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

Strength

Some of us think holding on makes us strong;
but sometimes it is letting go.

Karma is a Bitch

The funny thing about revenge
is that most of the times
when it finally strikes
you don’t really care anymore.

The Eternal Sunshine

Clementine: I wish you had stayed.
Joe: I wish I had stayed too.
Now I wish I had stayed.
I wish I had done a lot of things.
I wish I had... I wish I had stayed. I do.
Clementine: Well, I came back downstairs and you were gone!
Joel: I walked out, I walked out the door!
Clementine: Why?
Joel: I don't know. I felt like I was a scared little kid,
I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.
Clementine: You were scared?
Joel: Yeah. I thought you knew that about me.
I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
Clementine: Was it something I said?
Joel: Yeah, you said "so go".

You Be Strong

You stay alive, no matter what occurs!
I will find you. No matter how long it takes,
no matter how far, I will find you.

After All This Time

Da una lacrima sul viso
Ho capito molte cose
Dopo tanti, tanti mesi ora so
Cosa sono per te
Uno sguardo ed un sorriso
M'han svelato il tuo segreto
Che sei stata innamorata di me
Ed ancora lo sei
Non ho mai capito, non sapevo che
Che tu, che tu, tu mi amavi ma
Come me, non trovavi mai
Il coraggio di dirlo, ma poi...
Quella lacrima sul viso
É un miracolo d'amore
Che si avvera in questo istante per me
E non amo che te
Bobby Solo - Una Lacrima Sul Viso

Somewhere Only We Know

Briony: So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have
the time together they both so longed for... and deserved.
But what sense of hope or satisfaction
could a reader derive from an ending like that?
So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia
what they lost out on in life.
I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion...
but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.
Atonement (2007)
