BEFORE MIDNIGHT (2013) dir. Richard Linklater

BEFORE SUNSET (2004), dir. Richard Linklater

All right, now I know for sure. You wanna know why I wrote that stupid book? So that you might come to a reading in Paris, and I go walk up to you and ask: "Where the fuck were you?" I think I...I wrote it, in a way, to try to find you.

Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?inine

ETHAN HAWKE and JULIE DELPY as JESSE and CELINE BEFORE SUNRISE (1995) dir. Richard Linklater

I love the way you sing. I fucked up my whole life because of the way you sing. Alright? And if you put one-eighth of the amount of time that you put into bitching into playing scales, you'd be like Django Reinhardt. If you want love, then this is it. This is real life. It's not perfect but it's real.

SHANE & ILYA + parallels

He’d left Russia, he was uneasy in America, and he’d spent his entire adult life drifting between continents and between lovers. But now he had been reeled in by this annoying Canadian, and all that he knew was that he wanted to stay. He wanted to anchor himself to Shane and just...stay.
