Love and Other Drugs

I just saw this and I loved it.  It's the best rom-com I have seen in ages If you haven't seen it, Ann Hathaway's character has Parkinson's diesase at age 26 and won't let anyone get close to her because she can't stand to have them hurt her because she is going to get sicker with age.  And Jake Gyllenhaal's character is a smart guy who can't take anything seriously so he trades on his good looks to get laid and do well at his sales job.  They start of just fucking but Ann's character pushes Jake away when she thinks its getting a little to real.

The final scene in the movie is beautiful and I love the lines.  Jake is speaking trying to win her back.  I know it's only a movie, but the writing is the best I have heard in ages, and their reason for being a couple is the most believable I have ever seen I think.

I am full of shit, no I am knowingly full of shit

Because arh, I have, I have never cared about anybody or anything in my entire life, and the thing is that everybody kind of just accepted that, like “that’s just Jamie”

And then you, you didn’t see me that way.

I have never know anyone who actually believed that I was enough until I meet you.  And then you made me believe it too, so unfortuanatly I need you and you need me.

No I don’t

Yes you do

No I don’t

Yes you do, you need someone to take care of you.

No I don’t

Everybody does.

I am going to need you more than you need me

That’s ok

No it’s not, It isn’t fair, I had places to go

You will still go, I might just have to carry you

I can’t ask you to do that

You didn’t

Let just pretend that in another universe that we were both perfect, you weren’t sick and I wasn’t shallow and our only problems were trival, I don’t want to be those people, I want us, I want our real problems.
