Quotes from the movie Before Sunset

No, I can't, I don't have a guitar.
Celine


Oh, co- come on. A cappella.
Jesse


No, no, no. I'm not singing a song without a guitar. You're nuts!
Celine


Why not? It's...
Jesse


No, okay. Not now. No.
Celine


If not now, when? Wanna meet here in six months with a guitar? You know, I'll fly all the way over here, you may or may not make the metro...
Jesse


[laughing] Okay, that's funny.
Celine


I left them in the car! With the windows rolled up! It was six months ago! Think they're okay?
Celine


Tell him to pick you up at Quai Henri Quatre.
Celine


Henri Quatre. Quai...
Celine


What's wrong with you? No, do you want be to - Henri Quatre.
Celine


Come one, why didn't you say so.
Jesse


[laughing] I'm sorry, okay?
Celine


I heard this story once about when the Germans were occupying Paris and they had to retreat back. They wired Notre Dame to blow, but they had to leave one guy in charge of hitting the switch. And the guy, the soldier, he couldn't do it. You know, he just sat there, knocked out by how beautiful the place was. And then when the allied troops came in, they found all the explosives just lying there and the switch unturned, and they found the same thing at Sacre Couer, Eiffel Tower. Couple other places I think...
Jesse


Is that true?
Celine


I don't know. I always liked the story, though.
Jesse


You want to know why I wrote that stupid book?
Jesse


[laughing] No - you thought I'd be here today?
Celine


I'm serious. I think I wrote it, in a way, to try to find you.
Jesse


Okay, that's - I know that's not true, but that's sweet of you to say.
Celine


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
