Most-quoted character in Moulin Rouge! (2001): in 18 of its 75 quotes
Most scenes with: Satine (3)
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Christian The Moulin Rouge. A night club, a dance hall and a bordello. Ruled over by Harold Zidler. A kingdom of night time pleasures, where the rich and powerful came to play with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld. The most beautiful of all these was the woman I loved. Satine. A courtesan, she sold her love to men. They called her the 'Sparkling Diamond', and she was the star of the Moulin Rouge. The woman I loved is... dead.
Christian This woman is yours now. I've paid my whore. I owe you nothing. And you are nothing to me. (crying slightly) Thank you for c-curing me of my r-ridiculous obsession with love!
Christian Can't fall in love? But a life without love, that-that-that's terrible!
Christian Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen- love is a many splendored thing- love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!
Christian Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever.
Christian I had come to write about truth, beauty, freedom, and that which I believed in above all things: love. There was only one problem. I'd never been in love!
Christian Luckily, right at that moment an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof.
Christian Come what may... come what may. I will love you, until my dying day!
Christian It's a little bit funny this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can easily hide.
Christian I first came to Paris one year ago. It was 1899, the summer of love. I knew nothing of the Moulin Rouge, Harold Zidler or Satine. The world had been swept up in the Bohemian revolution and I had traveled from London to be a part of it. On a hill near Paris, was the village of Montmartre. It was not what my father had said. But the center of the Bohemian world. Musicians, painters, writers. They were known as the children of the revolution. Yes! I had come to live a penniless existence. I had come to write about truth, beauty, freedom and at which I believed above all things, love. But there was only one problem.....I'd never been in love! Fortunately, at that moment, an unconscious Argentinian fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.
Christian The Hills are alive, with the sound of music. With songs they have sung for a thousand years
Christian Silly of me, to think y-you could fall in love with someone like me.
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
To live again
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends
Christian How wonderful life is, now you're in the world
One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day
When dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away...
Fly...fly...away
Christian (spoken): Love is like oxygen.
Satine (spoken): What?
Christian (spoken): Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love.
Satine (spoken): Please don't start that again.
Christian All you need is love.
Satine (spoken): A girl has got to eat-
Christian All you need is love.
Satine (spoken): She'll end up on the street!
Christian All you need is love.
Satine (spoken): Love is just a game.
Music begins
Christian I was made for loving you, baby, you were made for loving me.
The only way of loving me, baby, is to pay a lovely fee.
Christian Just one night, give me just one night.
There's no way, 'cause you can't pay.
Christian In the name of love, one night in the name of love.
You crazy fool, I won't give in to you.
Christian Don't ... leave me this way. I can't survive, without your sweet love, oh baby ... don't leave me this way.
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
Christian I look around me and I see, it isn't so. Oh, no.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
Christian Well, what's wrong with that? ... I'd like to know ... 'cause here I go again! ...Love lifts us up where we belong-
Satine (spoken): Get down! Get down!
Christian Where eagles fly, on a mountain high!
Love makes us act like we are fools. Throw our lives away, for one happy day.
Christian We could be heroes ... Just for one day.
You, you will be mean.
Christian No, I won't!
And I... I'll drink all the time.
Christian We should be lovers.
We can't do that.
Christian We should be lovers, and that's a fact.
Though nothing will keep us together
Christian We could steal time-
Just for one day ... We could be heroes, forever and ever! ... We could be heroes, forever and ever! ... We can be heroes!
Christian Just because I ... will always love you.
I
Can't help loving-
Christian You.
How wonderful life is now
You're in the world.
Satine (spoken): You're going to be bad for business, I can tell.
Christian and Satine kiss
Operatic outro (The singing moon)
Christian Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing,
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Christian and Satine: Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
Christian and Satine: And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
Christian But I love you,
I love you
Christian Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Christian and Satine: Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you
Oh, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Christian and Satine: Come what may, come what may
I will love you, until my dying day!
Jealousy will drive you mad
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Christian His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand
Roxanne
Christian Why does my heart cry?
Roxanne
Christian Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me but
Just don't deceive me
And please believe me
When I say, I love you
Y yo que te quiero tanto que voy hacer?
Me dejaste, me dejaste...
En lagrimas se me fue
Se me fue el corazon
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir
Porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas Roxanne
(English Translation:
And I who wants you so much, what am I going to do?
You left me, you left me...
My soul has left me; my heart has left me
I have no longer a desire to live
Because I cannot convince you
Not to sell yourself Roxanne)
Roxanne
Christian Why does my heart cry?
