But of course! Nothing says "romance" like a gift of a kidnapped injured woman! I'm not going anywhere with you!
Yvaine Yeah, this is where it fell. It is. Or, if you want to get really specific, up there is where it was when this weird, bloody necklace knocked it out of the Heavens when it was minding its own business. And over there is where it landed. And right here... this is where is got hit by a magical flying moron!
Yvaine If there's one thing I've learned in all my years watching earth -- is people aren't what they may seem. There are shopboys, and, there are boys who just happen to work in shops for the time being.
Yvaine The little I know about love is that it's unconditional. It's not something you can buy.
Yvaine Hmm... Murdered by pirates, heart torn out and eaten, meet Victoria... Can't quite decide which sounds more fun.
Yvaine Would I be correct in thinking that you can neither see nor hear me? [Apparently so] Then I'd like to tell you that you smell of pee. You look like the wrong end of a dog. And I swear, if I don't get my Tristan back as he was, I'll be your personal poltergeist!
Yvaine You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, I've seen centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... Made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... I mean, you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan, is... I think I love you. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange — no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you love me, too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
Yvaine You were a mouse! You wanted cheese!
Yvaine What do stars do? [hugs Tristan] Shine!
Yvaine No star can shine with a broken heart.
Mother? Oh! Oh, Mother. I'm so sorry. Are you all right?
Yvaine No, I'm not, and I'm not your mother, so get off me!
Yvaine Do I look like I'm your mother?
Yvaine You're funny.
No, I'm serious. We're in a crater; this must be where it fell.
Yvaine Yeah, this is where it fell. It is. Or, if you want to be really specific, up there is where this weird, bloody necklace came out of nowhere and knocked it out of the heavens when it was minding its own business. And over there is where it landed. And right here, this is where it got hit by a magical, flying moron!
Yvaine You've got a Babylon candle?
Yeah, I have a bubbling candle.
Yvaine A Babylon candle.
That's what I said.
Yvaine You said "bubbling."
What the hell did you do?!
Yvaine What did I do? What did you do?! "Think of home", that was a great plan! You thought of your home and I thought of mine, and now we are halfway between the two!
Oh, you stupid cow! Why did you think of your home for?!
Yvaine You just said "home"! If you wanted me to think of your home, you should've said!
Some crazy lady was going to cut your heart out, and you wanted more specific instructions?! Perhaps you would like it in writing, or a diagram maybe!
You sort of glitter sometimes. I just noticed it. Is it... is it normal?
Yvaine Let's see if you can work it out for youself. What do stars do?
Hmm.... Attract trouble?
All right, I'm sorry. Let me do another guess. Is it: Do they know exactly how to annoy a boy called Tristan Thorn?
