Classic

He says: You're no picnic, all right? You're a spoiled little brat, even, but under that, you're the most amazingly, astounding, wonderful girl, woman, that I've ever known...

She says: Hey, I...

He says: No, let me try and get this out. You're ama- I'm not an idiot, I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket, I have no-nothing to offer you and I know that. I understand. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be all right... That's all I want.

She says: Well, I'm fine... I'll be fine... really.

He says: Really? I don't think so. They've got you trapped. And you're gonna die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong but... sooner or later that fire that I love about you... that fire's gonna burn out...

She says: It's not up to you to save me, you know.

He says: You're right... only you can do that.
