(500) Days of Summer (2009) Edit

A death in the family, someone taken ill Anything like that.

A moment, a love A dream aloud

A place few had been invited to see with their own eyes.

A time of confidences

A time of innocence

About being free

Actually, you know what? Yes, Tom?

After you, please.

After you.

Ah, I used to watch it every week. Oh. Yeah!

Ah, I wasn't that bad.

Ah, thanks. Yeah, man.

Ah. They said you write greeting cards.

All right. Fine. You want to go there?

All right. You ready? Yeah.

All that stuff is It's really juvenile.

All the way to Marquette

All, all

All, all

Also known as The Puma.

And a total misreading of the movie The Graduate.

And asked me about it,

And feel nothing.

And girls have broken up with you before.

And here was Summer, wanting him there.

And I can't explain oh, yeah

And I can't give you that. [Exhales]

And I guess that they're succeeding

And I hate her cockroach shaped splotch on her neck.

And I hate the way she sounds when she laughs.

And I just kept thinking,

And I'll never be the same oh, yeah

And I'm floating, and it's like this amazing, amazing realness.

And it's contagious

And it's contagious

And maybe she's an uppity, better than everyone superskank.

And now you're somebody's wife.

And planting lilacs and buttercups

And pretty soon all my troubles will pass

And put it on a mountaintop

And she told you up front that she didn't want a boyfriend.

And tattoos.

And that that's the Continental. That's L.A.'s first skysc****r.

And the heartache, everything.

And the terrain starts to get really rocky and steep.

And then I wake up.

And then I'm running so fast that my feet aren't even touching the ground.

And then there was my semester in Sienna.

And this one says, You can do it!

And we need a new holiday that recognizes that.

And we need a new holiday that recognizes that.

And we talked about Banana fish for like 20 minutes.

And we're going to these meetings

And we're going to these meetings

And we're responsible. I'm responsible.

And we're trying to be faithful

And when you wake up, your hair, it sticks up like that.

And you you've been with Robyn since what like 1998?

And you dated for, like, three hours.

And you look for those first signs of trouble.

And you threatened to burn the place down.

And you, um

And, Rhoda, no disrespect here,

And, uh, what brought you?

And, well, she's in bed with Lars from Norway.

And... a guy comes up to me...

And... now he's my husband.

And... you're a very attractive girl.

Are you done? I'm done.

Are you interviewing for the position?

Are you interviewing? Sorry?

Arthur, did you get a piece? Thanks.

As friends?

As long as she's cute and she's willing, right?

At last

At last I don't think I will be.

At least let them speak for themselves! Right?

At least once in their lives.

Averaged 1 8.4 double takes per day.

Aw.

Bald eagle. Your favorite.

Because it's not important.

Blow bubbles with their gum

Boredom mostly.

Bruce.

But I didn't burn the place down. We're not going back there, man.

But I don't.

But I'm really happy to see that you're doing well.

But my heartache's in me every day

But that's casual. That's what casual people do.

But today you get a card.

But we're not doing any meeting

But what are you gonna do with that degree?

But you should know up front'

But, uh, those are guppies.

But, um, this is total shit.

But, um, truthfully,

But, you know, I just I need some consistency.

But... there's a Chinese family in our bathroom.

By...

Can I say something about the cat? Well, okay.

Can make a good man turn bad

Can we talk about this tomorrow?

Can you believe that shit?

Can you see me

Can you see me

Centuries of reinforcement.

Cheers.

Coincided with an inexplicable 21.2% increase in revenue.

Coincidence. That's all anything ever is.

Color my life with the chaos of trouble.

How come? [Chuckles]

How was your weekend?

How would you make them notice?

How you doing? Good. How are you?

How's it going?

I I mean, we have some disagreements, but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious.

I actually majored in English in college,

I always loved this place, ever since you brought me.

I am being totally serious. No, you're joking around.

I can laugh it in the face

I can't believe this is your boyfriend.

I can't go, even if I wanted You're not listening to me.

I can't this week, but maybe next?

I didn't know. That's great!

I didn't, uh I didn't know you were gonna join us.

I don't actually feel comfortable being anyone's anything, you know.

I don't know, man. I think it's official.

I don't know.

I don't know. I just... wish people would notice it more.

I don't know. I think l'd... make 'em notice.

I don't know. It doesn't feel like you think it would [Slams Drawer]

I don't know. There's a lot of different stuff you could do.

I don't think I'll ever understand that.

I don't think the two of you are exactly authorities on modern relationships.

I don't wanna talk about it. You always wanna talk about it.

I don't want to get over her.

I doubt it. Well,

I found the answer looking in your eye

I go out walking all day long

I got it. Pancakes!

I got some troubles but they won't last

I guess I just figured,

I guess I just got lucky.

I guess I should say congratulations.

I guess I'm not just anybody.

I guess it's 'cause...

I guess we can just agree to disagree.

I hate her 1960s haircut.

I hate her crooked teeth.

I hate her knobby knees.

I hate Summer.

I hate the way she smacks her lips before she talks.

I hate this song!

I have that too! You do?

I hope this means you're ready to be friends.

I just I can't believe you.

I just I just woke up one day, and I knew.

I just don't feel comfortable being anyone's girlfriend.

I just left, uh Can l one second.

I just wanna tell you that, um,

I just wanted to say up front that this isn't

I know that she's the only person in the entire universe that will make me happy.

I know the dirty beard ha ha hangs

I like how you dress.

I like you, Tom. I just don't want a relationship

I like you. [Chuckles]

I like your tie. Wow! Hi.

I liked this girl. I mean, I loved her.

I love 'em. [Elevator Bell Dings]

I love Born To Run. Me too.

I love her hair. I love her knees.

I love how I hear this song every every time I think of her.

I love how she makes me feel.

I love the Smiths. Sorry?

I love the sound of her laugh.

I love the way she looks when she's sleeping.

I love the way she sometimes licks her lips before she talks.

I love these pancakes.

I love this heart shaped birthmark she has on her neck.

I made it myself.

I mean, 'cause you know that that that means that she's a lesbian, right?

I mean, it doesn't make sense.

I mean, look! What what is this? What does it say?

I mean, we've been like Sid and Nancy for months now.

I mean, what made you go from one to the other?

I mean,is this normal?

I mean. things are going well.

I must have walked right by you. Yeah.

I named my cat after Springsteen.

I need to know that you're not gonna wake up in the morning...

I needed a job, and here we are.

I never knew the cold hand of danger

I nominate Young werther here.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

I promise.

I quit the office. You did?

I really do hope that you're happy.

I really think you should look again.

I said I love the Smiths.

I should go.

I think I'm just gonna call it a day.

I think I've seen you there. Really?

I think it's kind of like how they say. There's, uh

I think people will really enjoy them.

I think technically the girl of my dreams...

I think we do a bad thing here.

I think we should stop seeing each other.

I think you know it when you feel it.

I think you're interesting, and I'd like for us to be friends.

I thought I might see you here.

I walked in the rain like a drone

I want to get her back.

I wanted to sing Born To Run, but they didn't have it.

I was gonna maybe have a party on Friday, um,

I was sitting in a deli and reading Dorian Gray

I was thinking about getting a butterfly tattoo about yea big on my ankle.

I went to Brown. where did you go? Alison.

I will be, eventually.

I would have gotten you, you know, a drink, or

I'd find out now before you show up at her place...

I'd say we've got some potential here. What do you think, Hansen?

I'll go first.

I'll race you to the bedroom.

I'm comfortable. I'm unhassled.

I'm excited to read it. Yeah.

I'm flattered, but I'm not interested.

I'm flexible on the cute, so

I'm free. I'm safe.

I'm going to the supply room. Do you guys need anything?

I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass

I'm good. You're good?

I'm great. What happened to you?

I'm hanging up now. Bye, baby.

I'm happy. Aren't you happy? Yeah.

I'm here to help you. Help me how?

I'm in love with Summer. I love her smile.

I'm interested.

I'm just saying that perhaps you could channel those energies,

I'm just tired. okay.

I'm messed up. I am.

I'm not following. okay.

I'm not going anywhere till you tell me what's going on.

I'm not going to that. Yes, you are.

I'm not really looking...

I'm Paul. Hi, Paul. Nice to meet you.

I'm really glad we did this.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. what shit?

I'm sort of supposed to meet someone after this.

I'm Summer. Summer.

I'm the hero of the story Don't need to be saved

I'm, like, superhuman.

I've been calling you every five minutes. Are you okay?

I've been in relationships, and I don't think I've ever seen it.

I've never heard of them. I put 'em on that mix I made you.

I've never seen you here before.

I've never told anybody that before.

If it were me, then, uh

If it were you what?

If maybe after this, if, um, you

If Pickles goes for it right there, that's a dead cat.

If she wants to be that way, fine.

If somebody gave me this card, Mr. Vance, I would eat it.

If you heard any of, um

If you want to come.

If you're not busy.

Iike everything all was just

In a way, it sort of, like,

In her high school yearbook.

In seventh grade we had the same class schedule,

Intoxicated by the promise of the evening.

Is that all right?

Is that okay?

Is that true? Yeah, yeah.

Is this Solitaire?

It it also felt like it was happening really slowly,

It didn't work out. [Chuckles]

It got kind of crazy, and the holidays came up, so work was

It happened like It felt like it happened fast, but really,

It just happened.

It pains me we live in a world...

It starts out like I'm running really, really fast.

It sucks. What do you mean?

It was a rare quality, this Summer effect.

It was built in 1904.

It was good.

It was meant to be.

It was that you can't ascribe great cosmic significance...

It was the best show on TV. I know.

It would appear.

It's It's these cards. and the movies, and the pop songs

It's a big seller. I meant as an architect.

It's a free country.

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right It's all right

It's all right It's all right

It's all right It's all right

It's all right It's all right He believed that this time...

It's all right It's all right, it's all right

It's all right It's all right, it's all right

It's all right It's all right, it's all right

It's Amanda Heller all over again.

It's as much as I know watch it waste away

It's handbags with little dogs in them.

It's kind of messy.

It's love. It's not Santa Claus.

It's nice to meet you all.

It's not 'cause they want to say how they feel.

It's not gonna go anywhere. oh.

It's not that simple. Sure, it is.

It's not? No, that's not it. [Chuckles]

It's nothing. I'm just I'm just being stupid.

It's obvious. You're just afraid you'll get an answer you don't want,

It's playing at 5i.00. Do you wanna see it?

It's ridiculous. You're ridiculous.

Just 'cause some cute girl likes the same bizarro crap you do,

Just a girl.

Just as friends?

Just because she said it was good? And some other things.

Just don't be a pussy.

Just like that? Just like that.

Just some guy she met at the gym...

Just start from the beginning, and tell us what happened.

Keep romance alive and hope she's gonna tell you

Keep romance alive and hope she's gonna tell you

Rare, and yet something every post adolescent male has encountered...

Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit.

Really?

Really? Can you help me? 'Cause I've run out of ways to say congrats.

Really? No.

Relationships are messy, and people's feelings get hurt.

Right, but that's what I don't understand. What just happened?

She has it too. Penis! Penis!

She is.

She took a giant shit on my face.

She wants to keep it casual,

She was nice, but

She'd only loved two things.

That one time! No, every time.

That sucks. Why is it pretty girls...

That sweet? Ain't love grand?

That these weren't stories routinely told.

That wall Summer so often hid behind

That wall was slowly coming down.

That would explain a lot actually. Can I ask you a question?

That?

That's a parking lot. Oh!

That's been there since 1911.

That's fine. I get it.

That's funny. You're funny.

That's me. Come on up.

That's not inspirational. That's suicidal.

That's okay. I completely understand that.

That's so interesting. I wanted to write.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

That's what happened between me and Sean.

That's why we bought a home with two kitchens.
