SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE PROMPTS
* assorted dialogue from the 1993 film, adjust as necessary
people who truly loved once are far more likely to love again.
now those were the days when people knew how to be in love.
you're a basket case.
time, distance... nothing could separate them because they knew. it was right. it was real.
i am having all these fantasies about some man i have never even met.
thanks for dinner. i've never seen potatoes cooked like that before.
i'll tell you what i'm doing this weekend. i'm getting laid.
how long have you been standing there?
i'd much rather just see someone i like and get a feeling about them, and ask them if they want to have a drink.
i wonder if it still works this way.
i'm starting to notice that.
what do you think happens to someone after they die?
oh babe. i miss you so much it hurts.
your destiny can be your doom.
can i bring something back for you?
when's the last time you were there?
that's your problem. you don't want to be in love, you want to be in love in a movie.
what do they call it with everything intersects?
that's not true.
that's right, it's not true. but it feels true.
she looks like my third grade teacher.
[name]... it's nice to meet you.
i certainly hope so.
in the movies, women are always scratching up the men's back and screaming and stuff when they're having sex.
how do you know this?
verbal ability is a highly overrated thing in a guy, and it's our pathetic need for it that gets us into so much trouble.
don't you just hate flying?
do you feel that any lie is a betrayal?
[name], i don't deserve you.
i wouldn't put it that way... but okay.
that's what i'm trying to tell you.
women are looking for pecs and a cute butt.
where did i hear that recently?
do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife?
that's hard to imagine.
after a while i won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out.
how long is your program?
i knew it the very first time i touched her.
it was like coming home.
i was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and i knew.
it was like... magic.
destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.
you wouldn't let me!
i saw it, and it scared the shit out of me!
look... [name]. i love you.
let's leave that out of this.
i don't want to be someone that you're settling for.
i don't want to be someone that anyone settles for.
marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it.
i just want somebody i can have a decent conversation with over dinner.
please, no more!
what is "tiramisu?"
when you're attracted to someone, it just means that your subconscious is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously.
she wants to meet me at the top of the empire state building on valentine's day.
i already sold the painting.
you can't even turn on the news nowadays without hearing about how some babe thought some guy's butt was cute.
is it cute, though?
that's all i'm doing.
i'm not living with her. i'm not marrying her.
can you appreciate the difference?
this is what single people do. they try other people on and see how they fit.
nobody's perfect. there's no such thing as perfect.
what about the letter?
she looked like somebody we would've been friends with.
