I was watching garden state today (actually twice in the last couple of days on HBO) and the ending touched me. Thought I'd share.

(Sam and Andrew sitting on the steps at the airport)
Sam: What are you thinking about? You're not coming back are you?
Andrew: C'mon Sam, of course I am.
Sam: No You're not. You don't realize, this is good. This doesn't happen often in your life, you know I mean this... We can work this stuff out. I want to help you, you know? We need each other. I haven't even lied in like two days.
Andrew: Is that true?
Sam: No.
(Andrew smiles and kisses Sam on the nose)
Andre: Look look, this isn't, this isn't a converesation about this being over. It's It's... I'm not like putting a period at the end of this, you know, I'm putting like and elipsis on it. Cause I'm, I'm worried that if i don't go figure myself out, if I don't go like land on my own two feet then I'm going to fuck this whole thing up and this is too important. I gotta go. I gotta go... I fired my pshychiatrist, I gotta go find a new one. Look, I'm gonna call you when I get there... I'm gonna call you.
(Sam starts crying)
Andrew: Look at me. Look at me. You changed my life. You changed my life and i've known you four days. This is the beginning of something really big, but right now I gotta go. Come here.
(They kiss and Andrew pulls himself away and leaves)
(Sam crying alone in phone booth. Door opens, she looks up)
Sam: what are you doing?
Andrew: do you remeber that idea I had about working stuff out on my own and then finding you once I'd figured stuff out?
Sam: the elipsis?
Andrew: yeah, the elipsis. It's dumb, it's dumb, it's an awful idea, I'm not going to do it ok? 'cause like you said, "This is it, this is life." and I'm in love with you Samantha. I think that's the only thing i've ever really been sure of in my entire life. And I'm really messed up right now and I have a whole lotta stuff I've got to work out, but i don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it ok?
Sam: yeah.
Andrew: And I think i can do this, I mean I want to, I mean we have to right?
Sam: (laughs) yeah.
Andrew: Right?
Sam: (smiles) yes.
Andrew: So what do we do?
(sam
shakes head and smiles)
Andrew: What do we do?
(share kiss and embrace)
