Karl Geary: Kristjan

Quotes 

• Mary : Can I hear something in your language?

  Kristjan : What shall I say?

  Mary : I don't know. How about..."I love you."

  Kristjan : "I love you" is "Volim te".

  Mary : ...That's nice.

• Kristjan : Do you only put sad things in your book?

  Mary : No, not just sad... It's my book of beautiful things.

• Kristjan : You have beautiful eyes... but... empty.

  Penny : Well, then I guess I'm empty.

• Mary : Do you know that I've never been on a date before?

  Kristjan : No, there should be many boys.

  Mary : Would you go on a date with me? I mean if I was older...

  Kristjan : I will go on a date with you right now.

  Penny : Really? Where will you take her?

  Kristjan : To the cinema?

  Penny : No! Pretend you've never seen her before. You first see her at a society ball and she's leaning against the, no... pining by a clear silvery fountain. What makes you wanna talk to her?

  Kristjan : Oh, I would come to her because she's lovely and how do you say um, mysterious.

  Mary : Oh no, you should never say that. American girls don't like that. It's considered an insult if you call them mysterious.

  Kristjan : Enough society lady. We meet at a simple place, we meet on the bus and you're reading a book and I sit beside you so that you will speak to me and I wait and I wait and you never speak to me. Then I say, "what is your name?"

  Mary : And then I stand and I say, "this is my stop."

  Kristjan : Then I stand and say, "this is *our* stop."

  Penny : Oh he's good!

  Kristjan : "I must see you again, my heart will die without you."

  Mary : When?

  Kristjan : I will tell you a day, Mary. And you will tell me, "this is too soon" or "too late". Tomorrow.

  Mary : ...too late.
