Love Lines
February 2005
Pinoys have always been a sucker for love and romance. We are a
bunch that feel kilig (is there even a direct English translation for
this?) when watching movies where boy meets girl and boy ends up with
girl. Romantic lines are treasured and become a part of our collective
memory; easily recalled and spouted at the appropriate time.
But in case you’ve forgotten, or have never bothered to watch these
movies, here are some of the more memorable quotes from romantic movies
that are sure to send hearts aflutter.
Jerry Maguire: I love you. You... complete me.
Dorothy: Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at "hello."
-- Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise, Renee Zellwegger)
Harry Burns: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out.
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love
that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me
like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still
smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last
person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not
because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came
here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of
your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as
soon as possible.
-- When Harry Met Sally (Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan)
Anna Scott: I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy,
asking him to love her.
-- Notting Hill (Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant)
Seth: I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss
from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.
-- City of Angels (Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan)
Frankie: Anything other than mad, passionate love is just a
waste of time.
There are too many mediocre things in this world to deal with, love
shouldn't have to be one of them.
-- Dream for an Insomniac (Ione Skye, Mackenzie Astin)
Ike Graham: Look, I guarantee there'll
be tough times. I guarantee that at some time, one or both of us is
gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I
don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life,
because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me.
-- Runaway Bride (Richard Gere, Julia Roberts)
Satine: [singing] Never knew I could feel like this. Like I've
never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss, every day
I'm loving you more and more. Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Come back to me- and forgive everything. Seasons change, winter to
spring. I love you. Until the end of time.
-- Moulin Rouge (Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor)
Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.
-- As Good as It Gets (Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt)
Kat Stratford: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you
cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you
stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it,
I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it
when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that
you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate
the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not
even at all.
-- 10 Things I Hate About You (Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger)
Harry: Erica, you are a woman to love.
-- Something’s Gotta Give (Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton)
Sammy: If you find somebody you can love, you can't let that get
away.
-- The Wedding Singer (Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore)
