Scene 25
[Camera shows various views of the landmarks of Vienna, stopping at a statue in a square, upon which Jesse sits while Selene lies with her head on his lap]
Jesse: [in a sort-of Bostonian accent, again] And the years shall run like rabbits
Selene: [opens her eyes and looks up at him] What?
Jesse: [shakes his head] Nothing. Nothing. I have this, uh, recording of Dylan Thomas, reading a W.H. Auden poem. He's got a great voice. You just... It's like, uh...
Selene: What, what?
Jesse: [starts with accent again]
All the clocks in the city
Began to whir, and chime.
Oh, let not time deceive you,
You can not conquer time.
In headaches and in worry,
Vaguely life leaks away.
And time will have its fancy,
Tomorrow, or today.

[back to regular voice] Hm. Something like that.
Selene: Its good. [pause] When you talked earlier about after a few years, how a couple begin to hate each other, by anticipating their reactions, or getting tired of their mannerisms. I think it would be the opposite for me. I think I could really fall in love when I know everything about someone. The way he's gonna part his hair. Which shirt he's gonna wear that day. Knowing the exact story he'd tell in a given situation. I'm sure that's when I'd know I'm really in love. [they stop and stare for a while.]
Jesse: Hey guess what?
Selene: What?
Jesse: We didn't go to those guys' play.
Selene: Play?
Jesse: Yeah.
Selene: The cow?
Jesse: Yeah.
Selene: [laughs] Yeah, we didn't. Oh no, we missed it. [sigh]
