Quotes from the movie Before Sunset
2
I think it is true. What do you think were the chances of us ever meeting again?
Jesse


After that December, I'd say almost zero. But we're not real anyway, right? We're just, uh, characters in that old lady's dream. She's on her deathbed, fantasizing about her youth. So of course we had to meet again.
Celine


Oh, God, why weren't you there, in Vienna?
Jesse


I told you why.
Celine


Well, I know why, I just - I wish you would have been. Our lives might have been so much different.
Jesse


You think so?
Celine


I actually do.
Jesse


Maybe not. Maybe, we would have hated each other eventually.
Celine


Oh what, like we hate each other now?
Jesse


You know, maybe we're - we're only good at brief encounters, walking around in European cities in warm climate.
Celine


Oh, God, why didn't we exchange phone numbers and stuff? Why didn't we do that?
Jesse


Because we were young and stupid.
Celine


Do you think we still are?
Jesse


I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.
Celine


And you can screw it up, you know, misconnect.
Jesse


The past is the past. It was meant to be that way.
Celine


What, you really believe that? That everything's fated?
Jesse


Well, you know, the world might be less free than we think.
Celine


Yeah, when given these exact circumstances, that's what will happen every time: two part hydrogen, one part oxygen, you get water every time.
Celine


No, no, I - I - I mean what if your grandmother had lived a week longer, or, you know, or passed away a week earlier, days even. You know things might have been different. I believe that.
Jesse


You can't think like that, it's...
Celine


No, I mean, I know you shouldn't on most things, but - It's just, on this one it seemed like something was off, you know?
Jesse


So what's it like to be married? You haven't talked much about that.
Celine


I haven't? How weird.
Jesse


I feel like if someone were to touch me, I'd dissolve into molecules.
Jesse
