Juan: Great. Then these are her last days of freedom.
Vicky: No. Look, I'm not free. I'm committed. You know what my theory is? And when I drink, I get brutally frank. I think that you're still hurting from the failure of your marriage to Maria Elena, and you're trying to lose yourself in empty sex.
Juan: Empty sex? Do you have such a low opinion of yourself?

Evelyn: What? Where are you going?

[first lines]
Narrator: Vicky and Cristina decided to spend the summer in Barcelona. Vicky was completing her master's in Catalan Identity, which she had become interested in through her great affection for the architecture of Gaudí. Cristina, who spent the last six months writing, directing, and acting in a 12-minute film which she then hated, had just broken up with yet another boyfriend and longed for a change of scenery. Everything fell into place when a distant relative of Vicky's family who lived in Barcelona offered to put both girls up for July and August. The two best friends had been close since college and shared the same tastes and opinions on most matters, yet when it came to the subject of love, it would be hard to find two more dissimilar viewpoints. Vicky had no tolerance for pain and no lust for combat. She was grounded and realistic. Her requirements in a man were seriousness and stability. She had become engaged to Doug because he was decent and successful and understood the beauty of commitment.
Vicky: [while talking on her cellphone to Doug] Yeah, I miss you, too.
Narrator: Cristina, on the other hand, expected something very different out of love. She had reluctantly accepted suffering as an inevitable component of deep passion, and was resigned to putting her feelings at risk. If you asked her what it was she was gambling her emotions on to win, she would not have been able to say. She knew what she didn't want, however, and that was exactly what Vicky valued above all else.

Ilene: We believe that they had an ancient rivalry. The myths say that their ancestors fought each other in a great war.

Alfred: I love you.
Sarah: You mean it today.
Alfred: Of course.
Sarah: It just makes it so much harder when you don't.

Ilene: [Godzilla is approaching the ships at sea] Did we change course?
Admiral: No. We're nowhere near the areas you flagged.
Nathan: [looking at the radar] It looks like he's coming for us anyway.
Ilene: He's not coming for us.
Maia: [referring to Kong as Godzilla is coming for him] Him? Then dump him. Dump the monkey!
Ilene: How about we throw you off instead, huh?

Ilene: The myths are real. There was a war. And they're the last ones standing.
