Quotes
-
Sophie : [drily] I'm sorry, I didn't know love had an expiration date.
-
Sophie : [reading out Claire's letter] I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust, I promised I'd meet him and run away together because my parents don't approve. But, instead, I left him waiting for me below our tree - waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Verona now. I return to London in the morning and I am so afraid. Please, Juliet, tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire.
-
Sophie : I think it's a story worth telling.
-
Sophie : "Happy"? Did your grandson say "Happy"?
-
Charlie : [after the trio finds the grave of a man with the same name of "Lorenzo Bertoli", Charlie wants to give up the search for Lorenzo and is accusing Sophie for putting his grandmother Claire through pain] You're not here 'because you're some romantic who wants to believe in love lasting forever! You're here for the story. Here to see how it all ends! It doesn't matter to you if it's a happy ending or a sad ending as long as it's compelling, right? As long as there's drama.
Sophie : You think that's true?
Charlie : I'm just looking out for her!
Sophie : No you're not! You're not walking away for her, you're walking away for you!
Charlie : [angrily] She's dealt with enough grief in her life! She's lost her husband, her daughter and her son-in-law! Now, *you* come along and set her up to lose someone she already lost fifty years ago! But why should I expect you to anything? You don't know ANYTHING about loss!
[Sophie stares at Charile, deeply hurt. She turns and walks away]
Claire : [to Charlie] You're wrong.
Charlie : What?
Claire : That is very wrong, Charlie. She lost her mother.
Charlie : It's different.
Claire : It is. Her mother *chose* to leave her. You always knew that your parents loved you.
-
Sophie : Listen, this is my job. l find things. And through process of elimination and caveat emptor, which will require assembling a few more facts, we can narrow this down considerably.
Charlie : Did Ms. Awesome For Real just use "caveat emptor"?
Sophie : Oh, please, all right. l went to Brown. Double Major. Minor in Latin.
Charlie : This is madness. lt's madness.
-
Sophie : Do you know what you are? You are the Montagues and the Capulets.
Charlie : Oh, you mean - oh well, at least l'm not Romeo.
Sophie : That's the understatement of the century!
Charlie : No, no, no, because you see, if l found the love of my life, l wouldn't stand there like an idiot whispering in a garden. l would just grab her from that blasted balcony and be done with it.
Sophie : Do you believe in destiny?
Charlie : Do you?
-
Sophie : There are these women who call themselves the Secretaries of Juliet. They write letters to the people that write letters to Juliet.
-
Sophie : Do you have any advice?
New Yorker Magazine Editor Bobby : I think you should buy stock in Alitalia... 'cause all the ladies are gonna flock to Verona.
-
Charlie : You look surprised.
Sophie : l'm so surprised. l just didn't have you pinned down as the save-humanity type at all.
Charlie : Really? And what type did you have me pinned down for exactly?
Sophie : Well, l was leaning towards elitist Oxford prig, but now that you mention it, self-satisfied do-gooder works, as well.
Charlie : l guess you're a poor judge of character then.
Claire : But she does deal with facts, Charlie.
-
Charlie : Forgive me. Where are my manners?
Sophie : You know, l've been wondering that since l met you.
Charlie : Yes, well, l - I - I don't know what it is... but you seem to bring out the very worst in me.
Sophie : And somehow it's my fault?
Charlie : All of this is your fault. You wrote that blasted letter.
