Prelude to a Kiss
Each of these snippets of dialog was followed by a romantic kiss. Name the movie each one is from. (Some names have been deleted if they were giveaways.) |
 |
| 1. |
| Her: |
"Have you ever let a romantic moment make you do something you know is stupid?" |
| Him: |
"Never." |
| Her: |
"Here's the trouble with never." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 2. |
| Her: |
"I mean, I was Miss Witchita, for Christ's sake. Did I tell you that? Did you know you were living next door to a real live beauty queen? I still got the tiara. I thought it meant I was gonna do something important in my life, that I was gonna be someone." |
| Him: |
"You are someone." |
| Her: |
"No I'm not. Look at me." |
| Him: |
"You're someone to me." |
| Her: |
"Are you going to be something else I have to survive? Cuz I'll tell you the truth, I'm not up to it." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 3. |
| Him: |
"God help me. Carpe diem." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 4. |
| Her: |
"Gosh, I haven't been this happy since I was twelve." |
| Him: |
"Okay, I'll bite. What happened when you were twelve?" |
| Her: |
"I took my mom to Kansas City for Mother's Day, and I used the allowance I was saving. We went to lunch at Sky's, this restaurant at the top of a building, and you could see the whole world from up there. It was our last special thing, cuz she died that year. It was a great day." |
| Him: |
"You just gave me goosebumps from that, you know that? That is just great improv." |
| Her: |
"I just want everything to be perfect between us." |
| Him: |
"I know, I know. Listen, let's, let's-- Time, here. Can we talk seriously for just a minute?" |
| Her: |
"Huh?" |
| Him: |
"I know how much you want this, (name deleted). And you are gifted and extremely determined, but I gotta tell you, it's not entirely up to me." |
| Her: |
"I know. It's up to us." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 5. |
| Her: |
"But it's there. It's just sitting there like this big dead end and it's not the same for men. Charlie Chaplin had babies when he was 73." |
| Him: |
"Yeah, but he was too old to pick them up. Come here, come here... It's going to be okay. Go ahead, it's not one of my favorites, anyway. It's going to be okay. Alright, I'll make some tea." |
| Her: |
"(name deleted), can you just hold me a little longer?" |
| Him: |
"Oh, sure." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 6. |
| Him: |
"Don't cry, Shopgirl, don't cry." |
| Her: |
"I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 7. |
| Him: |
"What's the matter?" |
| Her: |
"I don't know, Sean, you just, you just seem so different. I mean, what is all this about? What-- This intimate candlelight dinner? Huh? I'm supposed to forget all the promises cuz you're going back into the fray?" |
| Him: |
"If the top cop in this country can't come home every night to his wife, then the hell with the country. Because the only place I'm going is upstairs with you." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 8. |
| Him: |
"Damn Santa Claus got the wrong address or what? So I'm bouncing around from toy to toy like I'm some kind of drunk. Mom's smiling, my father is smiling, it's all good, right? And then around 8:30, cops show up, take the toys, take my father. But for about two and a half hours I had a very, very happy childhood." |
| Her: |
"Why are you telling me this?" |
| Him: |
"Because I love you." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 9. |
| Her: |
"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." |
| Him: |
"The truth of it is, I've loved you since the first second I met you. You're not suddenly going to go away again, are you?" |
| Her: |
"No. I might drown, but otherwise, no." |
| Him: |
"Okay, okay. We'll go in. But first, let me ask you one thing... Do you think, after we've dried off, after we've spent lots more time together... You might agree... NOT to marry me, and do you think NOT being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life? Do You?" |
| Her: |
"I do. " |
| (kiss) |
|
| 10. |
| Him: |
"This is my favorite pizza place. Tony! One large, extra plankton!" |
| Her: |
"We have so little time. They're going to be here any minute." |
| Him: |
"Who are?" |
| Her: |
"They don't want me talking to you." |
| Him: |
"Then don't talk." |
| (kiss) |
|
| 11. |
| Her: |
"I have to say this quick or I'm just gonna have this massive coronary, and then you'll never hear it, and you have to. This is, by far, the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Uh, so dumb, in fact, that I can't. Oh, but I'm gonna." |
| Him: |
"What's wrong?" |
| Her: |
"Michael, I love you. I've loved you for nine years, I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it. And, well, now I'm just scared. So I realize this comes at an inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. That sounds like three favors, doesn't it? But --" |
| (kiss) |
|
| 12. |
| Her: |
"Besides, can a lady of wealth and noble marriage love happily with a bankside poet and player?" |
| Her: |
"Yes, by God! Love knows nothing of rank or riverbank. It will spark between a queen and the poor vagabond who plays the king. And their love should be minded by each, for love denied blights the soul we owe to God. So tell my lady (name deleted) waits for her in the garden." |
| Her: |
"But what of Lord Wessex?" |
| Her: |
"For one kiss, I would defy a thousand Wessexes." |
| (kiss) |
