The Holiday

From the moment I met you, it's been an adventure.

Jasper, we both know i need to fail out of love with you. Would be great if you would let me try.

You know, Iris... when you catch your guy with another woman, you're not supposed to stay friends with him.

I have no defense, except that until I get to know someone really well, it's easier for me to be a normal, single guy. Because it's way too complicated to be who I really am. I'm a full-time dad. I'm a working parent. I'm a mother and a father. I'm a guy who reads parenting books and cookbooks before I go to sleep. I spend my weekends buying tutus. I'm learning to sew. I'm Mr. Napkin Head. I'm on some kind of constant overload and it helps to compartmentalize my life. Just till I figure this out.

I have the classic male problem of no follow-through.

And I suppose there's... the possibility I'm afraid of what another person might do to who we are and how we get from one day to the next.

Oh, my God. Okay, this was a really close call. You know, I never thought I'd say this, literally never, but I think you were absolutely right about us. Very square peg, very round hole.

Okay, then. Well.... Utter honesty. Very refreshing.

— It's over. This twisted, toxic thing between us is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you. Ha! I've got a life to start living. And you're not going to be in it.
— Darling...
— Now I've got somewhere really important to be and you have got to get the hell out. Now!
— What exactly has got into you?
— I don't know. But I think what I've got is something slightly resembling gumption.

You know what I really wanna do? I... I wanna eat carbs without wanting to kill myself.

I came to Hollywood over 60 years ago and immediately fell in love with motion pictures. And it's a love affair that's lasted a lifetime. When I first arrived in Tinseltown, there were no cineplexes or multiplexes. No such thing as a Blockbuster or DVD. I was here before conglomerates owned the studios. Before pictures had special effects teams. And definitely before
box office results were reported like... Like baseball scores on the nightly news.

Groom's best friend spoke for many guests when he said, "Hilary... will open Edward's eyes and round out his life."
