We played hours of scene it at Lisa's today.
There was a mini-clip from Dangerous Liasions.
One of the characters asked, something alone the lines of, "why do you suppose it is that we feel compelled only to chase those who run away?"
So after googling in attempt to find the actual line, I came along this, and felt the need to have it written somewhere.
No, no, you made an accusation and you must allow me the opportunity to defend myself! Now, I'm not going to deny that I was aware of your beauty. But the point is, this has nothing to do with your beauty. As I got to know you, I began to realize that beauty was the least of your qualities. I became fascinated by your goodness. I was drawn in by it. I didn't know what was happening to me. And it was only when I began to feel actual, physical pain every time you left the room that it dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time in my life. I knew it was hopeless, but that didn't matter to me. And it's not that I want to have you. All I want is to deserve you. Tell me what to do. Show me how to behave. I'll do anything you say.
