Reynolds has made my dreams come true. And I have given him what he desires most in return.

And what's that?

Every piece of me.

He's a very demanding man, isn't he? Must be quite a challenge to be with him.

Yes. Maybe he is the most demanding man.

I feel as if I’ve been looking for you for a very long time.

You found me. Whatever you do, do it carefully.

You are not cursed. You are loved by me.

I want you flat on your back. Helpless, tender, open with only me to help. And then I want you strong again. You're not going to die. You might wish you're going to die, but you're not going to. You need to settle down a little.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Sometimes I jump ahead in our life together, and I see a time near the end. I can predict the future, and everything is settled. And all our lovers and children and friends come back and are welcome. And we have large gatherings where everyone is laughing and playing games. I am older and I see things differently, and I finally understand you. I take care of your dresses, keeping them from dust and ghosts and time.

Yes, but right now we're here.

Yes, of course we are.

나의 특별한 사랑이 상대를 구원할 수 있으리란 믿음이 다른 의미로 위험할 수 있다는 걸 보여준다. 사랑의 파괴적 특성이 아주 우아하게 수놓아진 영화다. 보이지 않는 실은 곧 지긋지긋할 때 떠나가는 게 아니라 부수고 재봉해서라도 곁에 두는 사랑, 영원히 자라지 못할 것 같은 백발 장인의 어머니를 대체하는 사랑. 섬뜩하면 어떤가, 사랑은 원래 미쳐야 할 수 있으니.

당신을 오래 찾아 헤맸다는 말에 뭘 하든 조심스레 해달라는 당부를 건넸던 여자가 기어코 눈싸움에서 이기는 사랑이야기.
