هنا، ألوذ في هدأة هذا الليل براحةٍ من قيظ النّهار. هنا، أحوك في الفكر خواطر، وأولّد على الشّفة بنات. هنا، ابتسامات حنين ترجّع صدى طفولةٍ نائية، وقصص حبّ طواها الزّمن. هنا، حلمٌ بغدٍ أجمل
The Fisher King
I know I've already done that a while ago, but I wanted to add something extra. The scene may look a bit silly, but it's the kind that makes me smile, everytime.

Lydia: You don't have to say nice things to me. It's a bit old fashioned, considering what we're about to do.
Parry: What are we about to do?
Lydia: You're walking me home.
Parry: Uh-huh.
Lydia: I think you're a little attracted to me.
Parry: Yeah.
Lydia: You'll probably want to come upstairs for some coffee.
Parry: I don't drink coffee.
Lydia: And we'll probably have a drink and talk and get to know each other a little bit better. Get comfortable. And then you'll... you'll sleep over. And in the morning, you'll be distant. And you won't be able to stay for breakfast. Maybe just a cup of coffee.
Parry: I don't drink coffee.
Lydia: And then we'll exchange phone numbers and you'll leave. And never call. And I'll go to work and feel so good! For the first hour! And ever so slowly, I'll turn into a piece of dirt. I don't know why I'm putting myself through this. It was really nice to meet you. 'Night.
(she runs off down the street)
Parry: 'Night...
(runs after her)

Parry: Excuse me! Wait! Just hey-sorry, wait, one minute-hey, excuse me!

Please wait, wait!

Lydia: No, listen, I'm not feeling very well...
Parry: Well, no wonder. We just met, made love and broke up all in the space of 30 seconds and I don't even remember having the first kiss, which I think it the best part.
Lydia: Look, it was so very special to me and I had such a wonderful time...
Parry: (overlapping above) It was to me too. But I think it's time you should shut up now. Shut up please?

(She shuts up)

Parry: I'm not coming up to your apartment. That was never my intention.
Lydia: Oh God, you don't want to... (embarassed)
Parry: Oh no, I want to. But I don't want just one night. I have a confession I have to make to you.
Lydia: You're married?
Parry: No.
Lydia: You're divorced?
Parry: No.
Lydia: You have a disease?
Parry: No, please stop.

(Pause)

... I'm in love with you.

(Lydia looks at him like he's completely nuts, not believing him. Parry shakes head, puts a hand to her mouth softly, "don't speak")

Parry: And not just from tonight. I've known you for a long time. I know you come out from work at noon every day and you fight your way out that door and you get pushed back in and three seconds later you come back out again. I walk with you to lunch and I know if it's a good day, if you stop and get that romance novel at that bookstore. I know what you order, and I know that on Wednesdays you go to that Dim Sum parlor and I know you get a jawbreaker before you go back in to work. And I know that you hate your job and you don't have many friends and I know sometimes you feel a little uncoordinated and you don't feel as wonderful as everybody else. And feeling as alone and as separate as I feel you are... I love you... I love you... and I think you're the greatest thing since spiced rice and I would be knocked out several times if I could just have that first kiss. And I won't, I won't be distant. I'll come back in the morning and I'll call ya if you let me... But I still don't drink coffee.

(Long pause, Lydia slowly touches Parry's face)

Lydia: You're real, aren't you?

    سلام
    فيلم أكثر من رائع
    روبن ويليامس كان متميزا، أما دجيف بريدج فقد ادي واحدا من اجمل ادواره، بالرغم من ان هوليوود لم تضعه في المكانة التي يستحقها

    يا سلام عليكي يا إيف.. حتة دين اختيار! فعلا الحاجات دي بتخليني ابتسم.. و متفق مع ريحان في كل اللي قاله..
    المشهد ده درس في كيفية كتابة السيناريو و الحوار
    كاتب الفيلم ده "ريتشارد لاجريفينس" بحبه من ساعة ما كتب جسور مقاطعة ماديسون
    انا شفت البوست اللي فات علي فكرة (اللينك).. انتي اختياراتك جميلة بشكل استثنائي.. خصوصا الكوت بتاع جيري ماجواير
    "انا سامحتك من اول ما قالت آسف"
    يا سلام!

    I must admit I haven't seen that movie, part of a large gap in my film-watching experience over the past 2 years.
    But you have definitely made it irresistable to rent and see!
    Thank God for you (and DVD stores)...
