Special Quote-A-Rama!

Vandaag een hele speciale Quote-A-Rama. Een hele scene, eigenlijk, uit The Fisher King van Terry Gilliam, wat mij betreft één van de mooiste en liefste films ooit gemaakt. Lies deep within my heart, en betekent ontzettend veel voor me. Het gaat over de vriendschap tussen een dakloze man, Parry (Robin Williams) en de aan lager wal geraakte radio-DJ Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges). Eén van de verhaallijnen van de film is dat Parry ontzettend verliefd is op een excentrieke vrouw, Lydia (Amanda Plummer) die hij al jaren volgt op straat, maar die hij eigenlijk niet kent. Met de hulp van Jack weet hij de moed te verzamelen om Lydia uit te vragen, en deze scene speelt zich af na hun afspraakje.

Geniet hiervan.

LYDIA:
You're walking me home. I think you're a little attracted to me. And you'll probably want to come upstairs for some coffee.


PARRY:
I don't drink coffee.


LYDIA:
Then we'll probably have a drink.
And talk and get to know each other... a little better, get comfortable.
And then you'll... You'll sleep over. And in the morning, you'll awake...
...and you'll be distant. And you won't be able to stay for breakfast. Maybe just a cup of coffee.


PARRY:
I don't drink coffee.


LYDIA:
And then... we'll exchange phone numbers. And you'll leave ...and never call.
And I'll go to work and I'll feel so good... for the first hour, and then...
...ever so slowly, I'll turn into a piece of dirt.
I don't know why I'm putting myself through this.
It was really nice to meet you.
Good night.


PARRY:
Good night.
Excuse me! Wait, just...
Sorry. Wait one minute.
Excuse me. Please wait.


LYDIA:
I'm not feeling very well.


PARRY:
Well, no wonder.
We just met, made love and broke up,
all in the space of seconds.
I don't remember the first kiss,
which is the best part.


LYDIA:
It was very special to meet you.


PARRY:
It was for me too, but I think
it's time you should shut up now.
Shut up. Please?
I'm not coming up to your apartment.
That was never my intention.


LYDIA:
You don't want to.


PARRY:
Oh, no, I want to. I have a hard-on for you
the size of Florida. But I don't want just one night.
I have a confession I have to make to you.


LYDIA:
You're married? You're divorced? You have a disease?


PARRY:
No, please stop. I'm in love with you.
And not just from tonight.
I've known you for a long time.
I know that you come out from work
and fight your way out that door.
You get pushed back in, and then
you come back out.
I walk with you to lunch.
It's a good day...
...if you stop and get
that romance novel at that store.
I know on Wednesdays,
you go to that dim sum parlour.
And I know that you get a jawbreaker
before you go back into work.
And I know you hate your job
and you don't have many friends.
Sometimes you feel uncoordinated...
...and you don't feel as wonderful
as everybody else.
Feeling as alone and separate
as you feel you are...
I love you.
I love you.
I think you're the greatest thing
since spice racks.
I'd be knocked out if I could just
have that first kiss.
And I won't be distant.
I'll come back in the morning.
I'll call you, if you'll let me.
But I still don't drink coffee.


LYDIA:
You're real... aren't you?






En tegen die tijd staan ze allebei met tranen in hun ogen, en hebben ze hun eerste zoen.
This scene will make Hulk Hogan cry, I assure you.
