Quotes 

• Mae : Don't say "always". "Always" makes promises it cant keep.

• Mae : Maybe memory fades for a reason. If we just dwelled on the bad things in the past, we'd never get over them. And if we just dwelled on the good, we might never match it again.

• Mae : Men are strange, aren't they? They don't see what's right in front of them.

• Mae : [to Nick]  People like us don't fall in love. We plummet to places, deep and dark. But love? Love is the thing we climb to.

• [last lines] 

  Nick Bannister : I thought of story. It's a tragedy. But only if you stop at the end. Ever hear of Orpheus and Eurydice? They were a couple very in love. Until one day Eurydice died.

  Mae : That's a horrible story.

  Nick Bannister : I'm not in the middle yet. Orpheus descended to Hell, begged the Devil to release her, until finally the Devil agreed, with one condition. He couldn't look back until they had escaped.

  Mae : And what happened?

  Nick Bannister : Orpheus took her by the hand and led her back to life.

  Mae : And they lived happily ever after?

  Nick Bannister : What other ending could there be?

• Mae : Tell me a story.

  Nick Bannister : A story? What kind of story?

  Mae : One with a happy ending.

  Nick Bannister : No such thing as a happy ending. All endings are sad, especially if the story was happy.

  Mae : Then tell me a happy story, but end it in the middle.
