Chris Evans: Nick

Before We Go

Nick

Brooke Dalton: It's possible, isn't it? It's possible that you could meet somebody who's perfect for you even though you're committed to somebody else.
Nick Vaughan: No, no, see, I think if you're committed to somebody, you don't allow yourself to find perfection in someone else.

Nick Vaughan: And at the end of the night, you're gonna want to say some things, but don't. Don't ruin it. It's nothing she doesn't already know. Just give her a kiss. Wish her good luck. And, uh... thank her. Thank her for showing you that you can love more than one person in this life.

Nick Vaughan: God. Why is it that any one decision always seems too small to be the biggest decision of your life.
Brooke Dalton: I don't know but sometimes you have to just make the choice and jump.

Brooke Dalton: What if he loves her more?
Nick Vaughan: I'd say that's a long shot.
Brooke Dalton: It's possible isn't it? It's possible that you could meet somebody who's perfect for you even though you're committed to somebody else.
Nick Vaughan: I think if you are committed to somebody, you don't allow yourself to find perfection in someone else.

Danny: I sold a kidney to get this. I mean it wasn't mine, but what am I gonna tell the hooker when she wakes up?
Nick Vaughan: Danny!
[Brooke laughs]
Danny: *Kidding!* She's not gonna wake up.

Brooke Dalton: Nick...
Nick Vaughan: Yeah?
Brooke Dalton: I'm sorry about all those things I said earlier. I guess I got a little defensive.
Nick Vaughan: Define defensive.
Brooke Dalton: Um... Abusive. Cruel.
Nick Vaughan: Complex.
Brooke Dalton: Ok.

Brooke Dalton: What we need is a time machine.
Nick Vaughan: Well we kinda have one. Few years ago they turned all these public pay phones into time machines. You pick one up dial 1993 and a New Yorker will come on and tell you exactly what was happening on that corner 20 years ago. It's funny.
Brooke Dalton: I don't even need to call that far back. I just need to call yesterday.
Nick Vaughan: Well let's try.
[making phone dialing sounds]
Nick Vaughan: Bop bup bo bo bop bup bup pup What would you tell yourself?
Brooke Dalton: Brooke? It's you... from the future.
[smiling]
Brooke Dalton: She doesn't believe me.
Nick Vaughan: Well of course you've got to tell her something secret. Something only you two would know.

Brooke Dalton: Have you ever had a feeling... and just knowing somewhere in your bones that somebody was going to play a major part in your life?
Nick Vaughan: Yeah

Brooke Dalton: You fall in love with a woman that deserves you, and she trusts you.
Nick Vaughan: Well... if I ever got that lucky. I probably wouldn't plan on letting her down.
[brief silence]

Brooke Dalton: I'm sure that my husband will really appreciate your helping me. It's incredibly generous of you!
Nick Vaughan: You didn't have to do that.
[silently chucking to self]
Brooke Dalton: What?
[seemingly unaware]
Nick Vaughan: The husband thing.
Brooke Dalton: Well... I didn't mean to distrust you. It's just you're being so nice!
Nick Vaughan: ...Nice.
[ponders the thought while smirking]

Nick Vaughan: So talk to me about these pieces. Is this done by your famous London artist guy?
Brooke Dalton: Ohhh hohoh...
[chucking]
Brooke Dalton: Well how did you know?
Nick Vaughan: Well... you can tell you need to know quite a bit about art in order to appreciate it.
Brooke Dalton: [laughs] You're an a**hole. Did you know the most interesting thing about hotel art is not the actual art itself? Obviously. But it's what's behind it.
Nick Vaughan: What, like a safe?
Brooke Dalton: No.
