Romantic Movie/Video Game Quotes

Rubick

I'm getting married in October, and choose some chocolate-covered fortune cookies as a favor. I can customize the fortune inside, and I thought it might be neat to have a romantic movie or video game quote on there. I can pick two or three, depending on the quantity I wind up getting. My fiance and I are into the basic geek cult flicks and video games, and I'm looking for quotes I can use. Stuff like, "I love you." "I know." I don't want generic rom-com quotes, but lines that are somewhat unique.

One that I won't use as it's too long and too involved is one I like from Mass Effect, during one of the romance sequences:

"You know what, you're right. About everything. I think about losing you and I can't stand it. The galaxy will just keep going. Everything, even the Reapers, will come around again. But you and I ... we ... are important right now. This is what will never happen again."

Any suggestions?

After the Mass Effect quote I can't get,

"I had reach, she had flexibility."

out of my head.

I enjoy this from High Fidelity but it might too long:

"She didn't make me miserable, or anxious, or ill at ease. You know, it sounds boring, but it wasn't. It wasn't spectacular either. It was just good. But really good."

or from 500 Days of Summer: "Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She's real."

or this one from The Princess Bride: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

Hahnsoo1

"As you wish." is another from The Princess Bride. Short, simple, sweet. And an inside joke.

Firefly: "Wash: I mean, I'm the one that she swore to love, honor, and obey.
Mal: Listen, if— [surprised] She swore to obey?"

Skoal Cat

"She swore to obey?" and the first Princess Bride one are gold.

edit: Your Princess is in another cookie?

From Mother 3: "I'm really happy you could be with me before the end."

I always liked that line. I'm not sure if you're into JRPGs, but if you are, it would only be appropriate to quote the best JRPG.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Terra

"She's the Marle to my Chrono."

Hiro says this in Heroes.

These are great, thanks guys. Will probably use something from Princess Bride for sure.

Try something from the book, like a line from this passage, which is one of my favorites:

"I love you,' Buttercup said. 'I know this must come as something of a surprise to you, since all I've ever done is scorn you and degrade you and taunt you, but I have loved you for several hours now, and every second, more. I thought an hour ago that I loved you more than any woman has ever loved a man, but a half hour after that I knew that what I felt before was nothing compared to what I felt then. But ten minutes after that, I understood that my previous love was a puddle compared to the high seas before a storm. Your eyes are like that, did you know? Well they are. How many minutes ago was I? Twenty? Had I brought my feelings up to then? It doesn't matter.' Buttercup still could not look at him. The sun was rising behind her now; she could feel the heat on her back, and it gave her courage. 'I love you so much more now than twenty minutes ago that there cannot be comparison. I love you so much more now then when you opened your hovel door, there cannot be comparison. There is no room in my body for anything but you. My arms love you, my ears adore you, my knees shake with blind affection. My mind begs you to ask it something so it can obey. Do you want me to follow you for the rest of your days? I will do that. Do you want me to crawl? I will crawl. I will be quiet for you or sing for you, or if you are hungry, let me bring you food, or if you have thirst and nothing will quench it but Arabian wine, I will go to Araby, even though it is across the world, and bring a bottle back for your lunch. Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do for you; anything there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do. I know I cannot compete with the Countess in skills or wisdom or appeal, and I saw the way she looked at you. And I saw the way you looked at her. But remember, please, that she is old and has other interests, while I am seventeen and for me there is only you. Dearest Westley--I've never called you that before, have I?--Westley, Westley, Westley, Westley, Westley,--darling Westley, adored Westley, sweet perfect Westley, whisper that I have a chance to win your love.' And with that, she dared the bravest thing she'd ever done; she looked right into his eyes."

Pick one fortune cookie, and put this entire quote inside, in a very tightly rolled piece of paper. That person wins some kind of awesome, nerdy prize.

Well, I was just thinking one line from it, but that would definitely be the best fortune cookie ever.

There's a Neo Genesis Evangelion joke there but I just can't reach it.

"I wish I could live life 5 times over! Then, I'd be born in 5 different cities, I'd stuff myself full with delicious things 5 times each, I'd have 5 different jobs, and for those 5 times..I'd fall in love with the same person.."

Where is this quote from? I feel like I have seen it/heard it before but I can't put my finger on it.

I know you said no "generic rom-com" but When Harry Met Sally is iconic and "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. " fits so well at a wedding.

Whole speech

I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

My fiance has actually requested a quote from Sleepless in Seattle, so there will be some rom-cominess in there. A portion of this exchange:

Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.

Thanks man! Yeah, searching using bleach helped me find when and who said it, thanks a lot!

See if you can get "Give me some sugar, baby!" in there somewhere. After all, a woman who can't appreciate some Bruce Campbell is not worth the effort...
