精彩对白欣赏：

1. -You know what, I noticed, in a totally non-threatening way, we have the same RPP zone.

-Is that right?

-Yep.

-You have impressive powers of observations.

-Yes.

-What’s an RPP zone?

-Residential permit parking zone.

-That sounds intimate.

-Yeah. Okay. What I was thinking is that I think we owe it to ourselves, really, to maybe get a drink out of respect for our zone compatibility and all.

-Okay.

2.-So, can you please tell me what went down with us?

-Only you, Paige, can dump a guy, then come back and demand answers.

-So I dumped you?

-A cruel, hard, pre-wedding dumping.

-Why?

-Well, that’s a question that I and all of my friends and the two rebound girls, yeah, we’d love an answer to.

-Come on, seriously. I must have had some kind of reason.

-You...you...you changed. You talked differently, you dressed differently. You weren’t sure about law school any more. And you definitely weren’t sure about me any more.

3.-Are you okay?

-What do you think?

-I know. It’s a lot to take in.

-No. A lot to take in would’ve been coming home, to a strange apartment, with a man I don’t know. That would be a lot to take in. But coming home to all of that, plus a house full of people pulling on me, and hugging me, and crying in my face, and talking about more shit that I don’t remember, that’s not a lot to take in, that’s total bullshit.

4.-He cheated on you with my friend! How could you stay with him?

-I was going to leave. I was, I was all ready to leave. And then one afternoon, I was all alone in the house, and I started looking at all the photographs of you and your sister. And the house seemed so full of all of us. We were a family, Paige. And I realized in that moment that that was the most important thing in the world for me. And I could’t, I couldn’t, I could not go.

-So, you just WASPed it away?

-No, I chose to stay with him for all the things that he had done right, and not to leave him for the one thing that he had done wrong. I chose to forgive him.

-Maybe Leo was right. Maybe I can’t figure out who I am and be around all of you.

精彩对白片段：

Leo: A moment of impact whose potential for change has ripple effects far beyond what we can predict, sending some particles crashing together, making them closer than before, while sending others spinning off into great ventures, landing where you never thought you’d find them. You see, that’s the thing about moments like these. You can’t, no matter how hard you try, control how they’re gonna affect you. You just gotta let the colliding particles land where they may, and wait until the next collision.

Paige: I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when you’re not, to agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.

Leo: Hi.

Paige: Hi.

Leo: I hope you didn’t come all the way into the city for hot chocolate.

Paige: Actually, I moved back here six months ago. I’m over in Rogers Park.

Leo: Really? That’s... That’s great.

Paige: I’m actually back at the Art Institute.

Leo: What? Are you kidding me? That’s amazing.

Paige: Yeah. I mean, I’m sitting in on a few classes and it’s crazy what my hands remember that my, you know, that my mind forgot.

Leo: Yeah.

Paige: So, thank you.

Leo: I didn’t do anything.

Paige: You did everything. You accepted me for who I am, and not for what you wanted me to be. Leo: I just wanted you to be happy. That’s all.

Paige: Isn’t there some Cuban place around here where we used to go when this place was closed?

Leo: Yean. It’s... Wait. You remember?

Paige: No, no. I wish. No, the memory stuff hasn’t come back, but I’ve... Sonia and I have been hanging out a little bit, and I’ve been asking her about us.

Leo: Really? And what has she been saying?

Paige: That she doesn’t think you’re seeing anyone right now.

Leo: She just happens to be right. You? Are you seeing anyone? That’s good.

Paige: So. Do you wanna go to the Cuban place with me?

Leo: Okay.

Paige: Okay.

Leo: What would you say to try someplace that we haven’t been to before, someplace new?

Paige: I’d like that.

Leo: After you.
