A scene from Beautiful Girls 1996
Willie

You know how it is, the beginnings? When you first fall in love and you can't eat, you can't sleep and getting a call from her, it makes your day. It's like seeing a shooting star.

Andera

It's the best.

Willie

Yeah, but, inevitably it goes away. It quiets down. So, this is my thing see, why get married now? Why not have two, three more of those beginning things before I, you know, settle into the big fade?

Andera

The big fade, that's an awful way to put it.
