Young NoahSo it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.

NoahI am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me that has always been enough.

Young Noah[reading letter over scene]My dearest Allie, I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us... I'm not bitter anymore because I know that what we had was real... And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy, and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love.
[pauses]
Young NoahThe best love is the kind that awakens the soul, and makes us reach for more, that, plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah

Young AllieWhy didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late.
Young NoahI wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.
Young AllieStay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fightin'
Young NoahWell that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young NoahSo it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.
Young AllieWhat easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
Young NoahWould you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want? What do you WANT?
NoahSummer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone.
Young AllieGo!... No, no, just wait a minute, we're not really breaking up are we? Come on. This is just a fight we're having and tomorrow will be like it never happend right?
Lon[to Allie]The way I see it, I got three choices. One, I can shoot him. Two, I can kick the crap out of him. Or three, I leave you. Well, all that's no good. You see, 'cause none of those options get me you.
Martha ShawLook, a woman know when a man looks into her eyes and sees someone else.
Young NoahNow you know that I want to give you all the things that you want, right? But I can't, because they're gone... They're broken.

DukeI was just going for a walk. I couldn't sleep.
Nurse EstherYou were going to see Miss Allie. Now you know you're not allowed. It's against the rules. You go back to your room. And as for me, I'm going downstairs to get a cup of coffee and won't be back for a while. Stay out of trouble.
[Duke walks over to Nurse Esther's counter and sees a full cup of coffee]
Young NoahWe're back to that? Are we back there? What about the past couple of days? They happened, you know.
Young AllieI know that they happened, and they were wonderful. But they were also very irresponsible. I have a fiancé waiting for me at a hotel who's going to be crushed when he finds out what I did.
Young NoahSo you make love to me, and go back to your husband. Was that your plan? Was that a test I didn't pass?
Young AllieNo, I made a promise to a man. He gave me a ring and I gave him my word.
Young NoahAnd your word is shot to hell now, don't ya think?
Young AllieI don't know. I'll find out when I talk to him.
Young AllieMmm-hmm. Most of the time I have all these thoughts bouncin' around in my head... but with a brush in my hand, the world just gets kinda quiet.

DukeIt was an improbable romance. He was a country boy. She was from the city. She had the world at her feet, while he didn't have two dimes to rub together.

AnneShe is out foolin' around with that boy until two o'clock in the morning and it has got to stop! I didn't spend seventeen years of my life raising a daughter and giving her *everything*, so she could throw it away on a summer romance!
Young NoahI could be fun, if you want. I could be pensive, uhh... smart, supersticious, brave? And I, uhh, I can be light on my feet. I could be whatever you want. You just tell me what you want, and I'm gonna be that for you.
NoahHe got the notion into his head that if he restored the old house where they had come that night, Allie would find a way to come back to him. Some called it a labor of love. Others called it something else. But in fact, Noah had gone a little mad.

DukeAllie was surprised how quickly she fell in love with Lon Hammond. He was handsome, smart, funny, sophisticated, and charming. He also came from old Southern money and was fabulously wealthy.
