Quotes 

• Katie : [talking to a stranger walking by]  Hey! Will you marry me? Please.

  Henry : Why do you wanna marry me?

  Katie : Why not?

  Henry : I could think of a lot of reasons if I weren't so drunk.

  Henry : I dunno. The nights are too long.

  Katie : The nights are too long because you have no one to share them with.

• Henry : How do you proceed?

  Jude : 'To live just move forward to those you love'

  Henry : An intriguing theory.

• Jude : I'm in pain

  Henry : All pain is desire.
