"baby you're such a baby"

Selene: Yeah. I think its because I always... I always have this strange feeling
that I am this very old woman laying down about to die. You know, that my life
is just her memories, or something.
Jesse: That's so wild. I mean, I always think that I'm still this 13 year old
boy, y'know who just doesn't really know how to be an adult, pretending to live
my life, taking notes for when I'll really have to do it. Kind of like I'm in a
dress rehearsal for a Junior High play.
Selene: That's funny. Then, up there in the Ferris wheel, it was like this very
old woman kissing this very young boy, right?
Jesse: Hmm. Do you know anything about the Quakers, the Quaker religion?
Selene: No, not much, no.
Jesse: Well, I went to this Quaker wedding once, and it was fantastic. What they
do is the couple comes in and they kneel down in front of the whole
congregation, and they just stare at each other, and nobody says a word unless
they feel that G-d moves them to speak, or say something. And then after an hour
or so, of just, uh, staring at each other, they're married.
Selene: That's beautiful. I like that.
[the two stare at each other for a few moments. Selene turns away, and a few
moments later, so does Jesse.]
