Juno Wisdom
Juno MacGuff: I'm losing my faith in humanity.
Mac MacGuff: Think you can narrow it down for me?
Juno MacGuff: I guess I wonder sometimes if people ever stay together for good.
Mac MacGuff: You mean like couples?
Juno MacGuff: Yeah, like people in love.
Mac MacGuff: Are you having boy troubles? I gotta be honest; I don't much approve of dating in your condition, 'cause well... that's kind of messed up.
Juno MacGuff: Dad, no!
Mac MacGuff: Well, it's kind of skanky. Isn't that what you girls call it? Skanky? Skeevy?
Juno MacGuff: Please stop now.
Mac MacGuff: [persisting] Tore up from the floor up?
Juno MacGuff: Dad, it's not about that. I just need to know if it's possible for two people to stay happy together forever, or at least for a few years.
Mac MacGuff: It's not easy, that's for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for 10 years now and I'm proud to say that we're very happy.
[Juno nods]
Mac MacGuff: In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

nicely put. "Love at first sight" can be tricky that way ...we're on our best behavior, putting our best foot forward, making our best impression .... that's all well and good if there's little likelihood that there'll be a second or third encounter, because much of it is act and disguise. Hard work to keep that up over a long time because it begins to slip, bit by bit, until it's all on the floor. If both leave the costumes at home and "come as they are", it either doesn't work very well at all, there's "liking" but nothing more, or it's MAGIC and suddenly there's no-one else in the world. Number 3 is the one that lasts and it's also the one that's hardest to find if we're trying to appear to be more (or less) than we are.
I love that movie beyond words.
That's so me and the Pirate. We have our moments but it never takes long to say we're sorry and work things out. THANK YOU!!!!!
this has become my favorite movie of the year! seen it twice already!
That line actually made me sad. I want that.
And what the heck movie is this from??? There is a movie called "Juno"??? What am I missing? (I must live in a cave.....)
