THE MOST ROMANTIC QUOTE EVER
In Moonlight Mile, Jake Gyllenhall plays Joe Nast, a young man who's fiance has just been killed. After the funeral, he stays with her parents, and while they all grieve, and are drawn into the legal battle surrounding her death, Joe meets a new love. Its very sad, Im told, but upbeat to an extent. (Isnt it funny how thats totally possible?)
Anyhow, this monologue is given by the dead fiance's mother (Susan Surandon) (the dad is Dustin Hoffman!) to Joe, talking about what she wants of him now that her daughter is gone.
When I go to bed at night I do 4 things. I drop my robe, slide under the sheets, turn on my left side and stick out my ass. That's it. That's the signal. I just - I back it right up there because I know when I do, no matter how cold the damn thing is, no matter how difficult it might feel, no matter how desperately we want to kill each other it's gonna be met by this warm body on the other side that's gonna hold it. Two arms that... wrap around, pull me out of my head, quiet the voices, save me from myself... without ever having to ask. Every night, 31 years. Every night there's my ass and every night... he never lets me down.
You find your home, and it may not be what you thought - you know; colour's off, style's wrong... but there it is anyway and to hell with you if you can't take a joke.
You find your home. Ben's mine.
