Quotes From Before Sunset:
Celine: It's amazing what perverts we've become in the
past nine years.
Jesse: At least now we don't have to pretend that each
new sexual experience is a life-altering event.
Celine: I know. By now, you know, you've stuck it in so
many places, it's like about to fall off.
Jesse: Yeah, you know, and I can't realistically expect
that you've become anything but a total ho, at this point.
Celine: Yeah, thank you.
Jesse: I heard this story once about when the Germans were
occupying Paris and they had to retreat back. They wired
Notre Dame to blow, but they had to leave one guy in charge
of hitting the switch. And the guy, the soldier, he couldn't
do it. You know, he just sat there, knocked out by how beautiful
the place was. And then when the allied troops came in,
they found all the explosives just lying there and the switch
unturned, and they found the same thing at Sacre Couer,
Eiffel Tower. Couple other places I think...
Celine: Is that true?
Jesse: I don't know. I always liked the story, though.
Jesse: You want to know why I wrote that stupid book?
Celine: Why?
Jesse: So that you might come to a reading in Paris
and I could walk up to you and ask, "Where the
fuck were you?"
Celine laughing: No - you thought I'd be here today?
Jesse: I'm serious. I think I wrote it, in a way,
to try to find you.
Celine: Okay, that's - I know that's not true, but
that's sweet of you to say.
Jesse: I think it is true.
Jesse: Oh, God, why didn't we exchange phone numbers and
stuff? Why didn't we do that?
Celine: Because we were young and stupid.
Jesse: Do you think we still are?
Celine: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll
be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life,
you realize it only happens a few times.
Jesse: And you can screw it up, you know, misconnect.
Celine: I was having this awful nightmare that I was 32.
And then I woke up and I was 23. So relieved. And then I
woke up for real, and I was 32.
Celine: Do I look any different?
Celine after a long pasue: I do?
Jesse: I'd have to see you naked.
Jesse: In the months leading up to my wedding, I was thinking
about you all the time. I mean, even on my way there; I'm
in the car, a buddy of mine is driving me downtown and I'm
staring out the window, and I think I see you, not far from
the church, right? Folding up an umbrella and walking into
a deli on the corner of 13th and Broadway. And I thought
I was going crazy, but now I think it probably was you.
Celine: I lived on 11th and Broadway.
Jesse: You see?
Celine: One night I heard some noise on my fire excape,
so I called 911. And the cops came eventually...
Jesse: Yeah like three hours later.
Celine laughing: Yeah, after I had been raped and killed
about 10 times.
