Some lines from Little Manhattan
Gabe: It was the pain that had no name.
[talking about love]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: Look at them all. Rats in their cages, their lives destroyed by love. I'm done with it. I won't be like them. The fools.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: It's amazing how quickly time moves. Just yesterday, I thought I loved her, but now, I don't even care about her at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: Somewhere a million miles away, the girl I once loved was going down her road, and I was stuck back on mine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: I couldn't escape them, all the little things I left unsaid, I was drowning in them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn't about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums, proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing. Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there. Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn't even know was there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosemary: But I thought you hate me.
Gabe: I don't. I lied.
Gabe: [thinking] I wasn't gonna be like my father. I wasn't gonna let all these things left unsaid smother me.
Gabe: Rosemary, I love you.
Rosemary: You what?
Gabe: I do. I'm sorry, but I love you more than anyone's ever loved. I love you, I love you, I love you.
Gabe: [thinking] How's that for letting it all hang out there? And hang, and hang, and hang.
Gabe: You think you might wanna love me, too?
Rosemary: I don't know what I think, Gabe, I'm only 11. I don't think I'm ready to be in love.
Gabe: I'm not ready and I'm doing it!
Rosemary: Maybe I was wrong, maybe girls don't mature faster.
Gabe: No they do, they do, you know they do. You even said so at the park. We at least mature at the same rate.
Rosemary: I don't know what mature is anymore, but I'm really happy you came. Do you want to dance, Gabe?
Gabe: Sure, what the hell.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: As I held onto Rosemary Telesco for dear life, we both knew the truth. She was going off to camp and eventually, private school. We were on different roads, she and me. Two ships that passed in Sheep Meadow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: [thinking] Geez it was easier scheduling Arab-Israeli peace talks than making a date with this girl!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: I loathed myself for feeling like I did. I mean, this is crazy. She's a girl for God's sake, it's not like she's a New York Knick or something.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leslie: I didn't know you were having a play date, or I wouldn't have made plans. Should I stay?
Gabe: It's not a play date, mom, it's practice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: [thinking while standing with Rosemary and Ronny] Is there anything more excruciating than you and your date and your mom's date all hanging out with absolutely nothing to say?
Ronny: Don't do anything I wouldn't do, okay kiddo?
Gabe: Okay, that's more excruciating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: This was no time for small talk. It was time to lay things on the table. To reach through the phone line and dig deep into that woman's soul.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: This much I know firsthand - love hurts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: What choice did I have but to return to my old, miserable life? Wait a minute. You were happy. Oh, please! I was miserable. I just didn't know how miserable I was.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: But it wasn't that easy. I guess love never is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: There are very few things more painful than watching the woman you love grapple with another man. Actually, I take that back. There are no things more painful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old Man on the Street: I had a girlfriend once upon a time, too. She trampled my heart. Left me bleeding on the floor. Run.
Gabe: What?
Old Man on the Street: Run while you still can, brother. Take my advice. Make like the wind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: See, this is just like I told you. Same thing I knew getting into this whole mess - love ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: [thinking] And the next morning, something kind of amazing happened. The sun came out again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: Dad, what's the deal with girls? I mean, why are they the way they are?
Adam: You're talking to the wrong man.
Gabe: Well, how come all love has to end?
Adam: Let me tell you something about me and your mom. Once upon a time, we really loved each other, but as time went by, there just got to be all these things, little things, stupid things, that were left unsaid. And all these things that were left unsaid piled up, like the clutter in our storage room. And after awhile, there was so much that was left unsaid, that we barely said anything at all.
Gabe: Well, why didn't you just say them then, dad?
Adam: I don't know, Gabe. I kind of wish I had.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: The truth is, you come into this world alone and leave it the exact same way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabe: Love is an ugly, terrible business practiced by fools. It'll trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor. And what does it really get you in the end? Nothing but a few incredible memories that you can't ever shake. The truth is, there's gonna be other girls out there. I mean, I hope. But I'm never gonna get another first love. That one is always gonna be her . . .
