catastrophe

Gaspard: [in French] Haven't we met? I'm sure I know you. Where do you live? I'm in the 17th. Maybe I've seen you around. You don't talk much. I'm not sure, but... I feel like I've seen you before. You look like a mystical guy. Really, you have a very special aura. You believe in spirits? I'm way into that stuff. Maybe we met in a past lifetime.
Elie: [in French] Light?
Gaspard: [in French] A light.
[lights his cigarette]
Elie: Merci.
Gaspard: It's amazing. As soon as I saw you, I needed to talk. It's like... I don't know. A strong, weird feeling. I thought, if I don't talk to you before I go, I'd be missing out on... something... important. Beautiful. You work in a beautiful place. I didn't want to miss the chance to talk to you. It's dumb, but... Never mind. May I?
[sits down]
Gaspard: You believe in soul mates? Finding your other half? You like jazz? Charlie Parker... and Kurt Cobain. I love him! Whatever. Here's my number. I'd really like to talk with you, if you call me, more seriously and... for longer, especially.
[leaves]
Printer: [in French] What's up?
Elie: I'm not sure, Christian. He gave me this.
Printer: [in French] A phone number?
Elie: I don't know what he was saying. I don't speak French that well. He used a lot of phrases that aren't in my phrase book.
Printer: [in French] Call him and see.
Elie: [takes off running]

aw i love this scene. second favourite scene, first being natalie portman's call. gaspard ulliel is soooo cute i wna keep him in my pocket! i cannot stop watching this film. but i think if it was a book, it'll be so much better. except some parts would be in french and i dont understand much. (that reminds me .. i wonder which cross disciplinary subject they've dumped me in). like the very highly anticipated twilight movie. i'm more eager to read the book actually. i havent seen it in any libraries yet and my friends who have them are still reading it. i might buy it, but i like the smell of library books. especially really old ones. like oscar wilde or something. i read 'the importance of being earnest' recently. overly cliche post shakespeare drama, to be honest.

i smell pancakes! hope mom is doing the cooking because although my maid make perfect ones, mom's pancakes are a bit dry. which i like. i love homemade pancakes. my family refuses to buy pre-mix anything. you should try my mom's brownie cake. you will DIE.

i'll leave you with a stack of heaven sonia and i came across yesterday.
