Quotes From Serendipity:
Dean: Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for
ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul
mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and
obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic.
But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown
side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced
during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed
soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours
with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night
in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat,
the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that
life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or
coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events
that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about
the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
author and executive editor of the New York Times, described
Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life.
"Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately
Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony
with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith
in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what
we currently refer to as destiny.
Jonathan: Let's go do something.
Sara: Alright, what d'ya wanna do?
Jonathan: I don't care.
Sara: Alright, come on.
Jonathan: So are you gonna meet your boyfriend now or what?
Sara: No, I think he's out probably doing what you're doing.
Jonathan: Getting a crush on somebody else's girlfriend?
No, I'm sorry, I just meant I had a really nice time. You
know, maybe you should give me your phone number. Just in
case.
Sara: In case of what?
Jonathan: In case of life. I just had a really great time
and for all we know I wouldn't be able to find you again.
Sara: Well, if we're meant to meet again, we'll meet again.
it's just not the right time now.
Jonathan: Maybe we're supposed to meet on British time and
we're five hours too early.
Jonathan: This is the ultimate blend to drink. How'd you
find this place?
Sara: I first came in because of the name: Serendipity.
It's one of my favorite words.
Jonathan: It is? Why?
Sara: It's such a nice sounding word for what it means:
a fortunate accident.
Eve: You know who plays golf? Guys who are too fat to play
tennis, like this guy.
Jonathan: Maybe I am just getting cold feet.
Dean: I'm telling you right now British women do not age
well. Eight years ago she was a luscious treat, you know,
she probably looked like, you know, Baby Spice, now she
could look like...
Jonathan: Old Spice.
Jonathan: I hope you enjoy the gloves you bought yourself.
Sara: Oh, I'm sure I will, I usually enjoy my own thoughtfulness.
