A scene from Before Midnight 2013
Céline

So if we're going to spend another fifty-six more years together...

Jesse

Yeah?

Céline

What about me would you like to change?

Jesse

[Smirks]

That's another one of your can't-win questions. I'm not answering that.

Céline

What do you mean? There's not one thing you'd like to change about me? I'm perfect?

Jesse

Okay.

Céline

Okay.

Jesse

Actually...

Céline

One thing.

Jesse

If I could change one thing about you...

Céline

Uh-huh.

Jesse

It would be for you to stop trying to change me.

Céline

You're a very skilled manipulator, you know that?

Jesse

Well, I'm onto you. I know how you work.

Céline

You think?

Jesse

Yeah. I know everything about you.

Jesse Do you think it could be tonight that you're still talking about in your 80s? Céline Well, it must have been one hell of a night we're about to have. Jesse You know what I think? I think from the time we leave our parents house until we have kids - that's the only time your life is completely your own. You know I think I had about a decade of that. It was great. It was just like one long, flowing... a day, a week, a year, there wasn't much difference. Jesse I remember thinking: this is the natural human state - always a little dissatisfied, perpetually discontented, you know?
