Okay. Still following this, read from your green book. Remember,
Most scenes together: Faith Corvatch & Peter Wright (aka Damon Bradley) (2)
Only You quotes
How could you do this to me?
Because I'm in love with you!
Ha! What kind of an excuse is that?
Okay, look — one hand, two hands — put them together and what do they make?

One.
Right! So, Plato tells us we began as circles, and when we strived to be like the gods we were punished, by a thunderbolt that struck us, and cut us, right down, dead center, in half. We scattered to the ends of the Earth, searching and searching for our other half. Now, Plato is saying, that if we just stop, and go with the flow, and follow our destiny, It'll lead us back to each other.
You are here.
Yes, I am here, and very real. God! I'm trying to think — there's this poem by, um, Goethe? … yeah, Goethe, and its about two people come from different places, but they hear the same bird singing…
"perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us yesterday, separate, in the evening"†
That's it. Exactly.
Wow. [pauses, gazing into his eyes] Yeah … It was Rilke.
Rilke? [she nods] Oh well, same country... how'd you know?
I could tell you some things.
†: Faith here quotes Rilke's "You Who Never Arrived", as translated by Stephen Mitchell
I'm Damon Bradley.
Only you can make this change in me
for it's true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
my one and only you.
Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
can thrill me like you do
and fill my heart with love for only you.
I can't believe you're gonna let a few little letters of the alphabet keep us apart. It is a detail! Just — look, just call me Damon, okay? It'll be like a nickname.
I hope you're happy! I hope you're very happy! I don't believe in anything anymore! I don’t believe in the moon or the stars, or the sun … or destiny or magic — or MEN!
I married a liar. Why? Because I married a man.
I was born to kiss you.
Introducing himself to Faith, after she tells him the name of the man she is looking for.
