Quotes
-
Charlie : Because the truth is, Sophie, I am madly, truly, deeply, passionately in love with you.
-
Charlie : Listen. Listen to me very carefully. I live in London, a gorgeous, vibrant, historic city that I happen to love living in. You live in New York, which is highly overrated... But since the Atlantic Ocean is a bit wide to cross every day, swimming, boating or flying, I suggest we flip for it... And if those terms are unacceptable, leaving London will be a pleasure, as long as you're waiting for me on the other side. 'Cause the truth is, I am Madly, Deeply, Truly, Passionately in Love with You.
-
Charlie : It's over! We're done! We've found Nemo!
-
Charlie : I would have grabbed her from that blasted balcony and been done with it.
-
Charlie : [as Sophie interrupts yet again] Oh - *here she comes!*
-
Charlie : [after the trio finds the grave of a man with the same name of "Lorenzo Bertoli", Charlie wants to give up the search for Lorenzo and is accusing Sophie for putting his grandmother Claire through pain] You're not here 'because you're some romantic who wants to believe in love lasting forever! You're here for the story. Here to see how it all ends! It doesn't matter to you if it's a happy ending or a sad ending as long as it's compelling, right? As long as there's drama.
Sophie : You think that's true?
Charlie : I'm just looking out for her!
Sophie : No you're not! You're not walking away for her, you're walking away for you!
Charlie : [angrily] She's dealt with enough grief in her life! She's lost her husband, her daughter and her son-in-law! Now, *you* come along and set her up to lose someone she already lost fifty years ago! But why should I expect you to anything? You don't know ANYTHING about loss!
[Sophie stares at Charile, deeply hurt. She turns and walks away]
Claire : [to Charlie] You're wrong.
Charlie : What?
Claire : That is very wrong, Charlie. She lost her mother.
Charlie : It's different.
Claire : It is. Her mother *chose* to leave her. You always knew that your parents loved you.
-
Sophie : Listen, this is my job. l find things. And through process of elimination and caveat emptor, which will require assembling a few more facts, we can narrow this down considerably.
Charlie : Did Ms. Awesome For Real just use "caveat emptor"?
Sophie : Oh, please, all right. l went to Brown. Double Major. Minor in Latin.
Charlie : This is madness. lt's madness.
-
Sophie : Do you know what you are? You are the Montagues and the Capulets.
Charlie : Oh, you mean - oh well, at least l'm not Romeo.
Sophie : That's the understatement of the century!
Charlie : No, no, no, because you see, if l found the love of my life, l wouldn't stand there like an idiot whispering in a garden. l would just grab her from that blasted balcony and be done with it.
Sophie : Do you believe in destiny?
Charlie : Do you?
-
Charlie : lt's nearly tomorrow and l don't want to go.
-
Charlie : You look surprised.
Sophie : l'm so surprised. l just didn't have you pinned down as the save-humanity type at all.
Charlie : Really? And what type did you have me pinned down for exactly?
Sophie : Well, l was leaning towards elitist Oxford prig, but now that you mention it, self-satisfied do-gooder works, as well.
Charlie : l guess you're a poor judge of character then.
Claire : But she does deal with facts, Charlie.
-
Charlie : Forgive me. Where are my manners?
Sophie : You know, l've been wondering that since l met you.
Charlie : Yes, well, l - I - I don't know what it is... but you seem to bring out the very worst in me.
Sophie : And somehow it's my fault?
Charlie : All of this is your fault. You wrote that blasted letter.
-
Charlie : l'm not a big believer in happy endings, l'm afraid.
