Les Poupeés Russes (Bonecas Russas ) Quotes

If I think about all the girls I've known or slept with or just desired, they're like a bunch of Russian dolls. We spend our lives playing the game dying to know who'll be the last, the teeny-tiny one hidden inside all the others. You can't just get to her right away. You have to follow the progression. You have to open them one by one wondering, "Is she the last one?"

Senti que a mão dela dizia: "É mesmo? Tem certeza?". E minha mão respondeu: "Sim, tenho certeza. Eu quero, e você também."
Senti a mão dela apertar a minha. Ela também queria.
É doido como esses momentos ridículos são tão fortes!
Uma coisa que dura 2 segundos nos marca profundamente pelo resto da vidas.

Wendy - You are the perfect guy.
Xavier - You're making a mistake... I'm really not! If there is someone on earth who is a wreck, it's me.
Wendy - That's what I just said: you're a perfect guy.
Xavier - How come you're such a nice girl?
Wendy - I'm not being nice... you just happen to be the best thing that's happened to me in the past 26 years.
Xavier - I'm not sure I'm the one you're talking about. The one you think I am.
Wendy - What do you think? I know you're not always perfect. I know you have tons of problems, defects, imperfections... but who doesn't? It's just that I prefer your problems. I'm in love with your imperfections. Your imperfections are just great! I mean, you can't imagine, before I had to deal with Ed and compared to him, you're a day at the beach! I know most girls they go weak at the knees for what's beautiful, you know, that's all they see, that's all they want. But I'm not like that. I don't just see what's beautiful. I fall for the other stuff. I love what's not perfect. It's just how I am.

Xavier- Qualquer homem normal correria atrás dela depois de ouvir isso. Eu não me movi. Ou melhor, o trem se moveu. Eu deixei passar.

What's all this shit about love? How do we get so nuts? The time we waste! When you're alone, you cry, "Will I find her?" When you're not- "Does she love me as much as I love her?" "Can we love more than one person in a lifetime?" Why do we split up? All these fucking questions! You can't say we're uninformed. We read love stories, fairy tales, novels. We watch movies. Love, love, love...!

- I'm afraid of what is ahead of us.
- Don't look ahead.
- I can't help it. It reminds me of Ed and me.
- Don't look back.
