Drew: As somebody once said, there’s a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-presence of success. Any fool can accomplish failure. But a fiasco . . . a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others that makes other people feel more alive because it didn’t happen to them.

Drew: You’re kind of great, Claire. You do know that. Sort of amazing, even.
Claire: Oh, come on! I don’t need an ice-cream cone.
Drew: It’s not an ice cream cone. What’s an ice-cream cone?
Claire: You know. “Here’s a little something to make you happy. Something sweet that melts in five minutes.”

Drew: And don’t worry. Because as great as you look tonight, you are safe with me.

卓倫：這不是甜筒。甜筒代表甚麼？
克萊兒：就是，「吃了以後會很高興，不過五分鐘後就融化了」。

克萊兒：我要說出我們心照不宣的事，讓事情順其自然發展下去。我可能會出糗，但還是要說。
〔……〕
卓倫：不用擔心。你今晚很美，但跟我再一起妳可以放心。
克萊兒：當然安全，今天月圓呢！ |
