Billie Piper: Belle, Hannah

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Belle : [as she tearfully leaves Ben behind]  Some choices we make for ourselves in life. And some we make for other people. Not because we don't love them, but because we do. The only way we know it's right is if it lets us stay true to ourselves. But we can't regret our choices. The past is behind us. All we have is the present. And the future. Whatever that may bring.

• Belle : [to her mirror reflection, as she puts on earrings:]  Why should I give up my job?

  [as she comes down the stairs, and puts on a coat:] 

  Belle : I love my job. My job is who I am.

  [to the viewers:] 

  Belle : You know, maybe I was right. No man can handle what I do.

  [yanks open front door, about to leave] 

  Harry Keegan : [on doorstep]  I can handle it.

  Belle : What... what are you doing here?

  Harry Keegan : Declaring my allegiance.

  [enters] 

• Ben : No, you go. I'll meet you afterwards.

  Belle : [tearfully]  When?

  Ben : Midnight. Our place on the Embankment. If you think you're ready to give up being Belle, and give you and me a shot at a decent future, you come and meet me. And if not...

  [turns to door] 

  Ben : It's your decision, Han. Who do you wanna be?

  [leaves] 

• Harry Keegan : You can't run away from me forever, you know.

  Belle : I shouldn't be doing this.

  Harry Keegan : No, you shouldn't resist what you know you want. I know what I want. You.

  Belle : Harry...

  Harry Keegan : Be with me.

  Belle : Why me?

  [shakes head] 

  Belle : I mean... you know, there's a big city out there, full of gorgeous women.

  Harry Keegan : Mm.

  Belle : Come on.

  Harry Keegan : But there's only one you.

  [strokes her hair, then kisses her] 

  Harry Keegan : When I'm with you, I feel alive... and so do you.

  Belle : I can't be with you, Harry.

  Harry Keegan : Why? Why not?

  [she sighs] 

  Harry Keegan : What are you doing instead? You're never gonna make Ben happy. You are not that type of girl. Think about it, Belle. Me and you, we could go anywhere, we could do anything. Think about the adventure. Think about all the things we'd get to explore. Look, I don't want you to give up your life. I just want you in mine.

  Belle : [seventeen minutes to midnight]  I have to go.

  Harry Keegan : Belle...

  Belle : I can't, I have to go.

  Harry Keegan : Belle...

  [but she's off] 

• Ben : [Belle is too upset to talk]  Hannah? This is it, isn't it? You're not coming.

  Belle : I love you, Ben. You're my best friend. And I want you to have the best life.

  [tears flow freely] 

  Belle : But it's not with me. I can't give you what you need and I can't change who I am. And I wouldn't want you to change who you are.

  [sobs] 

  Belle : You deserve so much better than that. You deserve the best.

  Ben : You know this is the end, Hannah. Yeah? We can't go back from this.

  [shakes head, and then they share a tearful last kiss]
