I was wrong about many things.

I thought Tristan would never live to be an old man.

I was wrong about that.
I was wrong about many things.

It was those who loved him most who died young.

He was a rock they broke themselves against however much he tried to protect them.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

Even though he's abandoned her and you.

Alfred: I don't know what to say. Tristan's always been wild. You love him for that.
Susannah: Do I? Yeah, I suppose I do.
Alfred: Susannah, he does love you.
Colonel Ludlow: Alfred! She's to be your brother's wife.
Alfred: Yes, though you might better remind him of that.
Colonel Ludlow: He's not here to defend himself.
Alfred: No, he's not but I see you are here to defend him and what is his. Even though he's abandoned her and you. And I won't even speak of who else he abandoned.
Colonel Ludlow: Damn you, boy. Don't you blame my son for Samuel's death! Samuel chose to be a soldier and soldiers die. Sent to be slaughtered by the men in the government. Parasites like you! Damn and blast you!
[turns to Susannah]
Colonel Ludlow: Damn you too!
Alfred: Shut your mouth! You leave her out of this!
Colonel Ludlow: You get out of my house and off my land.
Alfred: Why? Because I want to serve my country like you did? Or because, like you, I love a woman who doesn't love me? He used her and he deserted her. Your darling Tristan.
Susannah: Alfred, don't, please.
Alfred: I loved her! I love her still. And he stole her from me. If you want to know the truth of it he stole her from Samuel before the war.
Colonel Ludlow: God help me, I'll kill you.

You say that again and we're not brothers

Alfred: When are you planning to be married?
Tristan: Morning.
Alfred: Damn you, Tristan. You will marry her.
Tristan: And make a honest woman out of her?
Alfred: Yes! God damn you to hell.
Tristan: Yes, I will marry her if she'll have me.
Alfred: If she'll have you? Do you love her? Or did you seduce her just to spite me?
Tristan: It's not what I did.
Alfred: And what about Samuel?
Tristan: What about Samuel?
Alfred: You tell me about Samuel.
Tristan: We all loved Samuel. Samuel's dead. What?
Alfred: How convenient that is for you.
Tristan: Because you love her I will forgive you for that. Once! You say that again and we're not brothers.

They all loved you more.

I followed all of the rules, man's and God's. And you, you followed none of them. And they all loved you more. Samuel, Father, and my... even my own wife.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

I recommend fucking.

Tristan: Samuel, God bless you. You are good at everything you try to do. I'm sure it'll be the same with fucking.
Samuel: Tristan, really. We're talking about my future wife.
Tristan: Oh, you're not gonna fuck her?
Samuel: No!
Tristan: No?
Samuel: No! I'm planning to be with her.
Tristan: I recommend fucking.

They become legends.

Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legends.

Too long...

Forever turned out to be too long.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

Still sometimes dream...

I still sometimes dream that I'm the mother of your children.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

I'll wait for you forever.

Susannah: Were you going to say goodbye? Tristan? How long will you be gone?
Tristan: Not long. A few months.
Susannah: I can make it better for you.
Tristan: No.
Susannah: If we'd had a child or if I were pregnant, would you still be going?
Tristan: Yes.
Susannah: Just give me a chance.
Tristan: Don't do that.
Susannah: Look at me. Please, look at me. I'll wait for you. However long it takes. I'll wait for you forever.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

I write it only for myself.

Tristan, I have nowhere to send this letter and no reason to believe you wish to receive it.
I write it only for myself.
And so I will hide it away along with all the things left unsaid and undone between us.

Legends of the Fall (1994) by Edward Zwick

You meet that one person and your life is changed.

Sometimes the things you want the most don't happen and what you least expect happens. I don't know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed.

Love and Other Drugs (2010) by Edgard Zwick

All I want is the exact same thing.

Maggie: What's your game?

Jamie: My game?

Maggie: Oh I'm sorry. Right. This is the part where we talk about where we come from and what we majored in college.

Jamie: You have beautiful eyes.

Maggie: That's it? That's the best you got?

Jamie: I'm serious. They're beautiful.

Maggie: Let's go.

Jamie: Excuse me?

Maggie: You want to close right? You want to get laid?

Jamie: Now?

Maggie: Oh right, right, right. I'm supposed to act like I don't know if it's right. So then you tell me that there is no right or wrong. It's just the moment. And then I tell you that I can't while actually signalling to you that I can, which you don't need because you're not really listening. Because this isn't about connection for you. This isn't even about sex for you. This is about finding an hour or two of relief from the pain of being you. And that's fine with me, see, because all I want is the exact same thing.
