shipperxI'm bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored.
Anyway, I'm sitting, futzing around with fanfic (it's not going very fast) and watching "Terminator (I)" on Bravo. Ended up on my favorite scene in the movie (Big shock. It's the Reese/Sarah sex scene). After reading Leslie's Ode to Farscape, I'm thinking of
In no order (and in no way all of them. Just the ones that are coming to mind at the moment) my favorite "romantic" exchanges (thank god for script sites, I could never remember all this stuff!):
"I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have." Reese to Sarah, Terminator
JOHN: "I'm coming with you."
AERYN: "No. I'm sorry."
JOHN:"You're not leaving without me."
AERYN: "What do you want?"
JOHN: "You."
AERYN: "I'm afraid it's not that easy for me. You see, you died. I watched that happen and yet you're still alive. . . I have to go.
JOHN:"Then say good-bye."
AERYN: "We don't say good-byes".
JOHN: "We do this time because you leave, and then you come back and I--I can't handle the in between. Say good-bye."
AERYN: "Fine. Good-bye, Crichton."
JOHN: "John! My name is John. 'Good-bye, John,' to my face.
AERYN:"Guarantee you won't die in my arms again!"
JOHN: "Guarantee you won't die in mine!"
AERYN: "I can...by leaving!"
JOHN: "Do you love John Crichton?! Not him...not me. John Crichton."
AERYN: "Yes."
(John kisses her)
JOHN: "Then what does that taste like?"
AERYN: "Yesterday."
JOHN: "And nobody can compete with that. I am so much better dead."
AERYN: "I can't do this again."
JOHN: "And I can't let the one thing I love fly away in a crappy little ship!!"
AERYN: "You once said it was as if the fates meant for us to be together."
JOHN: "And I believe that."
AERYN: "Well, then, if it's true, we will be together again."
JOHN: "Running away is not fate, Aeryn. Running away is running away. Fine, if you want fate-- here, I've-I've got a fate."
AERYN: "What?"
JOHN: "Coin toss."
AERYN: "What, like that side up, you stay?"
JOHN: "Absolutely. Fate."
AERYN: "Just make a frelling wormhole, and go home."
JOHN: "There is no home! There is no wormhole! There's only you. . .Aeryn... anywhere in the universe. You pick the planet."
AERYN: "It's too late for that."
JOHN: "It's not too late."
AERYN: "No. You're not listening to me. It's too late for me."
JOHN: "You do this... and we'll never see each other again."
AERYN: "Do you love Aeryn Sun?"
JOHN: "Beyond hope."
AERYN: "Then, don't make me say good-bye and don't make me stay. Aeryn and Crichton Farscape, Dog with Two Bones
TRACY: "My, she was yar..."
Hepburn to Grant about the 'True Love', The Philadelphia Story
SPIKE: I remember what I said. The promise. To protect her. (pause) If I had done that ... even if I didn't make it ... you wouldn't have had to jump. But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but ... after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again ... do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways ... (softly) Every night I save you.
Spike to Buffy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, AfterLife
AND
SPIKE: Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev— to be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness, and everybody will forgive and love. And he will be loved...
Spike to Buffy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beneath You
"You're my one in five billion."
Mulder to Scully, X-Files,Folie a Deux
AND
SCULLY: I don't know what to believe anymore. Mulder, I was so determined to find a cure to save you that I could deny what it was that I saw and now I don't even know... I don't know... I don't know what the truth is ... I don't know who to listen to. I don't know who to trust.
MULDER: Scully, I was like you once-- I didn't know who to trust. Then I... I chose another path... another life, another fate, where I found my sister. The end of my world was unrecognizable and upside down. There was one thing that remained the same --you. You were my friend, and you told me the truth. Even when the world was falling apart, you were my constant... my touchstone.
SCULLY: And you are mine.
Mulder and Scully, X-Files, The Sixth Extinction: Amor Fati
GRANT: Come on honey. Whattaya think, I was a chump?
RUSSEL: I mean...I thought you didn't love me.
GRANT: What were you thinking with?
RUSSEL: I don't know.
His Girl Friday
JENNIFER: "I, Jennifer take you Jack, for better--and mostly worse-- in spite of your egotism, your pig-headedness, and your inability to express any kind meaningful emotion, to be my lawfully wedded equal partner, who will love, honor and obey me until death do us part.
JACK: "And....
JENNIFER: "And you Jack, will take me Jennifer..."
JACK: "In spite of your ridiculously idealistic naivte, your insane stubborness, your pesky little ability to get under my skin no matter what the cost, your ability.... to be my other--if necessarily better-- half, I would like to take you..."
Also:
"No one will ever love you the way that I love you."
Jack to Jennifer during the Alamania crap on Days
*Julia: "I love you. You're wonderful. Get out."
Mason: "Is that a preview of your vows?"
[...]
Julia: "Go, light of my life".
Mason: "I will, jewel in my bellybutton."
Julia: "Don't be nervous, worm in my rose bush."
Mason: "I won't, stone in my loafer. Oh, and one more thing, sweet little fly in my vichyssois, say goodbye to the rowdy bachelor you once knew.
Julia: "Good-bye!... Noose around my neck."
Mason and Julia, Santa Barbara
