By the look on his face, he never gave in...

- Hi.
- Hi. Didn't figure you'd show your face around me again. I guess I thought you were... humiliated. You did run away, after all.
- I just needed to see you.
- Yeah?
- I'd like to, um... take you out, or something.
- You're married.
- Not yet, not married. No, I'm not married.
- Look man, I'm telling you right off the bat, I'm high-maintainance, so... I'm not gonna tip-toe around your marriage, or whatever it is you've got goin' there. If you wanna be with me, you're with me.
- Okay.
- Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
- I remember that speech really well.
- I had you pegged, didn't I?
- You had the whole human race pegged.
- Hmm. Probably.
- I still thought you were gonna save my life... even after that.
- Ohhh... I know.
- It would be different, if we could just give it another go-round.
- Remember me. Try your best; maybe we can.

- I really should go! I've gotta catch my ride.
- So go.
- I did. I thought maybe you were a nut... but you were exciting.
- I wish you had stayed.
- I wish I had stayed to. NOW I wish I had stayed. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I had... I wish I had stayed. I do.
- Well I came back downstairs and you were gone!
- I walked out, I walked out the door!
- Why?
- I don't know. I felt like I was a scared little kid, I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.
- You were scared?
- Yeah. I thought you knew that about me. I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
- Was it something I said?
- Yeah, you said "so go." With such disdain, you know?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
(...)
- Joely? What if you stayed this time?
- I walked out the door. There's no memory left.
- Come back and make up a good-bye at least. Let's pretend we had one.
- Bye Joel.
- I love you...
- Meet me in Montauk...

Assim que comecei a ler, lembrei o filme. Meu filme. Amo demais.
Estou com os olhos cheios d´água, seu maldito escritor.
Humpf.
