Luce Quotes in Imagine Me & You (2005)

Rachel: What does the lily mean?

Luce: The lily means...

[pause]

Luce: The lily means, "I dare you to love me".

Luce: Don't forget me.

Rachel: I won't remember anything else.

Luce: I think you know immediately. As soon as your eyes... Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you have been right in that first moment. When you suddenly realize that you were incomplete and now you are whole...

Luce: I met this girl... but she's with someone else.

Ella: Does she love you?

Luce: I don't know... no... yes... but it doesn't matter.

Ella: [gently caresses Luce's face] Oh... it's all that matters.

Luce: You can put an end to this!

Rachel: How?

Luce: Tell me to go. Tell me that's what you want, and I will walk away and you will never see me again.

Rachel: Is that what you want?

Luce: I want *you.*

Rachel: Luce...

Luce: I know.

Rachel: I can't...

Luce: I know.

Rachel: Alright. Well... umm... tell me about the lily.

Luce: You don't want to know about the lily.

Rachel: It's my favorite.

Luce: Ask me about the azalea.

Rachel: Oh, alright. What about the azalea?

Luce: The azalea means 'may you achieve financial security'. See?

Rachel: [laughs] Lovely. Now, tell me about the lily.

Luce: The lily means... the lily means 'I dare you to love me'.

H: Heck, I've got a question.

Tessa: Not now.

Heck: What's the question, H?

H: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Heck: [thinks for a few seconds, then replies] I haven't got a bastard clue, I'm afraid.

Tessa: There you are, you see. Now we can let him get married in peace.

[She starts to lead H to the church to find a seat for the wedding]

Luce: [Catches H before Tessa can take her away completely] It never happens. If there's a thing that can't be stopped, it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question is the answer.

H: [as Tessa leads her to the church] Can she sit with me?

Heck: So, what about you? Are you married? Ever been married, ever going to get married?

Luce: No. No. Maybe now that the law's changed.

Heck: How do you mean?

Luce: Well, I'm gay.

Heck: [chuckles, then realizes that it's not a joke] Mmm... well done.

Luce: You're a wanker, number nine!

Rachel: I can't...

Luce: I know.

Luce: You should ask her, you know.

Heck: Bless you but... I couldn't ask Rach if there is anything wrong that would be way too scary.

Luce: Why?

Heck: What if there is?

Luce: [It's the day after Luce and Rachel's "date" where Rachel almost kissed Luce. Upon seeing Rachel approaching her store, Luce, beams a smile] Hi!

Rachel: [In a rush walks into the store] No! No! You're not happy to see me! You can't! I don't want you to be happy to see me!

Luce: [Has come for a glass of punch, but finds Rachel blocking the way] What, is something wrong? I'm here to help.

Rachel: My ring. I was getting some of this punch crap and...

Luce: Your wedding ring?

Rachel: It fell off. Off and in there. My wedding ring is in there.

Luce: And you tried the ladle?

Rachel: Nothing.

Luce: And you can't empty...

Rachel: No.

Luce: No, it's too big. Right. Only one thing to do. Cover me.

[Starts to roll up her sleeves]

Rachel: What?

Luce: Use the dress.

[Moves Rachel so that her body covers Luce's actions]

Luce: I'm going in.

Rachel: You can't just...

[Looks over her shoulder as Luce prepares to fish around for the ring]

Rachel: Oh, yes, really, you can.

[Luce sticks her arm in the punch bowl]

Luce: The lily means "I dare you to love me".

Luce: Thorns! Thorns! In my bum! Ow!

Edie: You need a love life.

Luce: I have a like life. It suits me fine.

Luce: [surprised] Coop!

Coop: It is you, isn't it?

Luce: What are you talking about?

Coop: I wasn't sure when he told me, but I knew.

Luce: What did he say?

Coop: Tell me it isn't true, girl!

[pause]

Coop: Dumb slut!

Luce: Don't start, Coop.

Coop: Don't start? Her husband. Her flippin' husband calls me in the middle of the night. And you want to know how he was? He was busted.

Luce: Coop, just get out!

Coop: What was that you said? What was that? 'Never wreck another couple.'

[Luce looks guilty]

Coop: Stuck to that one good, didn't you?

Coop: Fuck me if I'm wrong, but I think you want to kiss me.

Luce: It's not going to happen.

Luce: What's your name, anyway?

H: Everyone calls me 'H'. They tell me it's short for Henrietta, but it's not. It's short for Jesus "H" Christ. That's what my mummy said when she found out she was pregnant with me.

Luce: Well, it should be a breakup bouquet, and it should be hydrangeas. They mean "It's over, but think of me well."

Luce: I can't stand when gay guys do that. They act like fuckin' vaginas are some kind of toxic wasteland and the grossest thing ever.

Darren: They are.

Luce: Uh, first of all, you came out of one. Second of all, you stick your dick in place that shit comes out of. I can't think of anything worse.

Darren: [while listening to neighbors] He's lying. He didn't go to the movie.

Luce: How do you even know what fuckin' movie they're talking about?

Darren: I was there.

Luce: What'd you do, comb the theater? Do you have a part-time job as an usher?

Darren: One: a subtitled movie on a Wednesday night in Nashville doesn't exactly draw a crowd.

Luce: Okay, that's fair.

Darren: Two: I went to purposely bump into him.

Luce: What?

Darren: He's fucking lying!

Luce: Okay, he's lying! But do you realize that this says way more about you than it does about him?

Greg: Financial stability is very important.

Luce: Not as important as not throwing up when someone takes their clothes off.

Luce: I don't understand how he did not hear or sense or *smell* what was going on in there.
