《爱在黎明破晓时》二

 

Jesse: I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this it'll haunt me the rest of my life.

 

Celine: What?

 

Jesse: I want to keep talking to you. I have no idea what your situation is, but I feel like we have some kind of connection. Right?

 

Celine: Yeah. Me too.

 

Jesse: Right. Great. Here's the deal. Get off here in Vienna and come check out the town.

 

Celine: What?

 

Jesse: Come on. It'll be fun. Come on.

 

Celine: What would we do?

 

Jesse: I don't know. All I know is I catch a flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I can't afford a hotel, so I was going to walk around and it'd be more fun if you came with me. And if I turn out to be a psycho, just get on the next train. All right, all right. Think of it like this. Jump ahead 10, 20 years, okay? And you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy it used to have. You start to blame your husband. You think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might've happened if you'd picked up with one of them. I'm one of those guys. That's me. So think of this as time travel from then to now to find out what you're missing out on. What this could be is a gigantic favor to you and your husband to find out you're not missing anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is. Unmotivated. Boring. You made the right choice. You're happy.

 

Celine: Let me get my bag.

 

Jesse: We should get a locker for all this.

 

Celine: What's your name?

 

Jesse: My name? Jesse. James, actually, but everybody calls me Jesse.

 

Celine: You mean, Jesse James, no?

 

Jesse: No. No, just Jesse.

 

Celine: I'm Celine.

 

Jesse: This is a nice bridge.

 

Celine: Yeah. This is kind of weird.

 

Jesse: Isn't it? I mean, I feel a little awkward. But it's all right. Right?

 

Celine: Yeah, this is great. Let's go to some places.

 

Jesse: Yeah, let's go to some places. Let's ask these guys.
