Before Sunrise《爱在黎明破晓时》精讲之六

精彩对白：

Celine: I'm gonna call my friend in Paris ­who I'm supposed to have lunch with in eight hours. Ok?

Jesse: Ok.

Celine: Pick up. Pick up the phone.

Jesse: All right. Hello. I've been working on my English. You wanna talk in English, for laughs?

Celine: Yeah, okay. That's a good idea. I don't think I'll be able to make it for lunch today. I'm sorry. I met a guy on the train, and I got off with him in Vienna.

Jesse: Are you crazy?

Celine: Probably.

Jesse: He's Austrian? He's from there?

Celine: No, No. He's passing through. He's American. He's going back home tomorrow.

Jesse: Why'd you get off?

Celine: Well, he convinced me. I mean, actually, I was ready to get off the train with him ­after talking to him a short while. He was so sweet, I couldn't help it. In the lounge car, he began to talk about ­him as a boy seeing his great-grandmother's ghost. I think that's when I fell for him. Just the idea of this little boy with all those beautiful dreams. He trapped me. And he's so cute. He has beautiful blue eyes, ­nice pink lips, ­greasy hair. I love it. He's kind of tall, and he's a little clumsy. I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away. He kind of kisses like an adolescent. It's so cute.

Jesse: What?

Celine: Yeah, we kissed. It was so adorable. As the night went on, I began to like him more and more. I'm afraid he's scared of me. I told him the story about the woman that kills her ex-boyfriend. He must be scared to death. He must be thinking I'm this manipulative, mean woman. I just hope he doesn't feel that way about me. Because, you know me, I'm the most harmless person. The only person I could really hurt is myself.

Jesse: I don't think he's scared of you. I think he's crazy about you.

Celine: Really?

Jesse: I've known you a long time. I got a good feeling. You gonna see him again?

Celine: We haven't talked about that yet. Okay, it's your turn. You call your friend.

Jesse: All right, all right. I usually get this guy's answering machine.

Celine: Hi, dude. What's up?

Jesse: Hey, Frank. How you been? I'm glad you're home.

Celine: Cool. Yeah. So how was Madrid?

Jesse: Madrid sucked. Lisa and I had our long overdue meltdown.

Celine: Too bad. I told you, no?

Celine: Yeah, yeah. The long-distance thing just never works.

Jesse: I was only in Madrid for a couple days. I got a cheaper flight out of Vienna. You know, it really wasn't that much cheaper. I just, I couldn't go home right away. I didn't want to see anybody I knew. I just wanted to be a ghost, completely anonymous.

Celine: So are you okay now?

Jesse: Yeah. I'm great. I'm great. That's the thing. I'm rapturous. And I'll tell you why. I met somebody on my last night in Europe.

Celine: That's incredible.

Jesse: I know, I know. You know how they say we're all each other's demons and angels? Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel ­telling me everything would be okay.

Celine: How did you meet?

Jesse: On the train. She was sitting next to a weird couple that was fighting ­so she moved. She sat right across the aisle from me. So we started to talk. She didn't like me much at first. She's super smart, ­very passionate, ­and beautiful. And I was so unsure of myself. I thought everything I said sounded so stupid.
