the Dalaverse

*whine* Borrrrred. Too early to go to bed. Too lazy to do anything worthwhile.

And thus, my desire to quote stuff.

Tonight I bring you the ultimate in cheesy sentiment:


(First I shall mine the Holy Four. Or half of it, anyway.)


Buttercup: Farmboy...Fetch me that pitcher? Please?
Westley: As you wish.

Westley: Here this now -- I will always come for you.
Buttercup: But how can you be sure?
Westley: This is true love. You think this happens every day?

Buttercup: You mocked me once, never do it again! I died that day. You can die too for all I care.
Westley: As -- *thump* -- you -- *thump* -- wish.

--The Princess Bride


Willow: You started spouting poetry. 'I love you, Sorsha! I worship you, Sorsha!' You almost got us killed!
Madmartigan: 'I love you, Sorsha'? I don't love her, she kicked me in the face!

Sorsha: What happened to 'You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky'?
Madmartigan: It went away.
Sorsha: 'I dwell in darkness without you' and it went away?

Rool to the cat: You...you are so beautiful! Your eyes, your whiskers -- I must kiss you!
Cat: *hiss*

--Willow



Leia: I love you.
Han: I know.

Han: I love you.
Leia: I know.

--The Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi



Harry: 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 sandwish. 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.
Sally: You see, that is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you, Harry, I really, really hate you.

--When Harry Met Sally



Holden: I love you. And not -- not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just -- I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't -- I can't look into your eyes without feeling that -- that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship -- no pun intended -- but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just -- I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just -- you just not dismiss that -- and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which -- while I do appreciate it -- I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.

--Chasing Amy



Adam: Katie?
Kate: Yeah?
Adam: I cheese sandwich you.
Kate: I cheese sandwich you too.

--Love and Sex



Baby: Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life -- the way I feel when I'm with you.

Johnny: Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

--Dirty Dancing



Edward: You don't know me, but my name is Edward Bloom and I love you.

Edward: Sandra Templeton, I love you and I will marry you!

--Big Fish



Mark Darcy: No, I like you very much. Just as you are.

--Bridget Jones's Diary



Maria: What does Tony stand for?
Tony: Anton.
Maria: Te adoro, Anton.
Tony: Te adoro, Maria.

--West Side Story


Mark's Posterboards: With any luck, by next year/I'll be going out with one of these girls/But for now, let me say/Without hope or agenda/Just because it's Christmas/(And at Christmas you tell the truth)/To me, you are perfect/And my wasted heart will love you/Until you look like this/Merry Christmas

Jamie: Beautiful Aurelia, I've come here with a view of asking you to marriage me. I know I seems an insane person, because I hardly knows you, but sometimes things are so transparency, they don't need evidential proof. And I will inhabit here, or you can inhabit with me in England.

--Love Actually



Alex: You are everything, I never knew...I always wanted!

--Fools Rush In



Henry: I kneel before you not as a prince, but as a man in love. I would feel like a king if you, Danielle, De Barberac, would be my wife.
Danielle: Say it again.
Henry: I'm sorry --
Danielle: No. The part where you said my name.

--Ever After



(Cheating; a quote from TV)

Dave: I don't smoke, I don't drink, I've never gotten a ticket. I'm healthy. I take care of myself. I floss. I never watch more than thirty minutes of television a night, partly because I think it's a waste of time and partly because there's nothing on. I respect my parents. I do well in school. I never play videogames in case they do somebody prove that playing them can turn you into a serial killer. I don't drink coffee. I hate soda because the carbonation freaks me out. I'm happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it. I don't mind wearing a tie. I enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar. And I really, really want to take your daughter to the prom.

--Gilmore Girls





I can't believe I just spent an hour doing that. Going through imdb.com for the quotes I couldn't remember verbatim (sadly, no that many) and browsing amazon.com's lists for romances. I think it's weird that I've never seen "Sleepless in Seattle."
