Elie Quotes in Paris, je t'aime (2006)

Gaspard: [in French] Haven't we met? I'm sure I know you. Where do you live? I'm in the 17th. Maybe I've seen you around. You don't talk much. I'm not sure, but... I feel like I've seen you before. You look like a mystical guy. Really, you have a very special aura. You believe in spirits? I'm way into that stuff. Maybe we met in a past lifetime.

Elie: [in French] Light?

Gaspard: [in French] A light.

[lights his cigarette]

Elie: Merci.

Gaspard: It's amazing. As soon as I saw you, I needed to talk. It's like... I don't know. A strong, weird feeling. I thought, if I don't talk to you before I go, I'd be missing out on... something... important. Beautiful. You work in a beautiful place. I didn't want to miss the chance to talk to you. It's dumb, but... Never mind. May I?

[sits down]

Gaspard: You believe in soul mates? Finding your other half? You like jazz? Charlie Parker... and Kurt Cobain. I love him! Whatever. Here's my number. I'd really like to talk with you, if you call me, more seriously and... for longer, especially.

[leaves]

Printer: [in French] What's up?

Elie: I'm not sure, Christian. He gave me this.

Printer: [in French] A phone number?

Elie: I don't know what he was saying. I don't speak French that well. He used a lot of phrases that aren't in my phrase book.

Printer: [in French] Call him and see.

Elie: [takes off running]
