Illuminata
Greenstreet Films 1999
Simone: I'm almost...happy!
Dominique: Almost!!!
Dominique: My love for you is twisted and forever unending.
Rachel: And mine for you, consistent as a flame.
Dominique: Tuccio, to do this Ibsen play doesn't mean she's finished with you.
Tuccio: Are you speaking for Rachel or for yourself?
Dominique: How am I to take that?
Tuccio: Take it any way you choose.
Dominique: Well, what if I choose to resent it!?
Dominique: Shall we try something? Shall we just rehearse a little? Um
- let's try this...his next play will be done in Paris!
Rachel: What do you mean?
Dominique: His next play! In Paris!
Rachel: What Paris?
Dominique: Yes, Paris FOR HER!
Rachel: You speak like this of Tuccio?
Dominique: What is the love of someone like Tuccio worth?
Rachel: You claim to be his friend!
Dominique: You forget, darling, I'm your friend too!
Her kisses no longer thrill me, but there are things about her - her smile, her
laugh, the blush in her cheeks. Her integrity, her honesty, her grief at my father's
death. And her faith in goodness. These things I - there is no other word -
love. ....... I'm sorry, I can't I won't.
The sky has something sad about it ... I thank God -- who perhaps doesn't exist -- for
having met you ... there is something cruel in every love ...
Illuminata ... Illuminata ... my heart has wronged you and it has wronged you before.
It means I am imperfect ... born imperfect -- educated imperfectly ... molded in my
formative years by imperfect hands ......and so expect naught else ...
If you look for someone to love you imperfectly ... look no further, I am he. If you
will still love me ... I am he.
