From a scene called - Je t'aime....
*Angela takes Andre into desolate bathroom and stands him in front of a mirrior*
"Look into the mirror. What do you see?"
"I see.... an exceptional girl."
"Thank you. Next to her, what do you see?
"I don't know."
"You're progressing."
"You think so?"
"Before, you only saw s***. Now, at least, you see nothing. You've cleaned up well."
*Angela walks behind Andre and places her arms around him and places her head on his shoulder*
"Now you need to fill the empty shell. You can't leave it empty...... Look hard in front of you. Anything catch your eye in this handsome face?"
*They stare into the mirror together. Angela waiting for a responce. Andre finally replies.*
"Not much...."
"Look into your eyes. What do you see?"
"Kindness."
"Yes, lots of it. What else?"
"They're not bad looking."
"Beauty, exactly. They're beautiful. What else?"
"Mabye.....a little gentleness?"
*Angela looks at Andre in his mirror reflection and smiles*
"Yes, lots.... And love?
"Sure, lots of love.....too much mabye..."
"If there's too much then it has to come out...... Say you love me."
"Pardon?"
"You don't love me?"
*Andre falters and starts to panic.*
"Yes, a lot... I mean... I feel a sort of affection, but it may be friendship...."
*Angela interupts*
"Do you love me or don't you?"
*Andre turns to face up at Angela*
"From the very first day...."
*He then turns back to look in the mirror.*
".... the very first second.
"So say it."
*Andre falters again*
"It's hard to say..."
"Do you know why? Because no one ever said it to you. Am I right?"
*Andre nods*
"Its hard to love yourself when no one reflects that....... I love you, Andre."
*They stare at each other through the mirror. Andre manages a smile."
"See, you've recieved love. Now, you can give some in turn.... Go on....."
"I love you Angela. Or whatever your name is."
"Your right. Say it again without my name."
*A brief pause then....*
"I love you."
*Angela hugs Andre tighter*
"That's good. Now look yourself in the eye and say it."
*Angela then dissapears and only Andre is in the reflction.*
"I can't." *He looks away from the mirror*
"Of course you can. Look at your body, battered by the lack of love and trust. Don't you see it deserves a little love and care? Don't reject your wounded body. It's suffered in silence all this time. Tell your body how important it is, that it has its place. Give it what it deserves...."
*Andre startes intently at the mirror looking at his reflection. Tears pouring from his eyes. He struggles to find the words, he falters.... and then...*
"I love you Andre. I love you."
Sorry for such a long post! It's my favourite scene ever out of a film. Its a really emotional movie, absolutely beautiful.
