Quotes 

• [Sam takes Charly on the Ferris wheel for the last time] 

  Charly : It's been a marvelous ride, hasn't it?

  Sam : The best.

  Charly : I love you.

  Sam : You'd better.

• [Charly is driving fast in downtown Salt Lake City] 

  Sam : Slow down. I want to be able to borrow this car again.

  Charly : Life is for fun, Sam. Sounds like you need a life. Woo-hoo! Cannot drive this this in Manhattan.

  Sam : You're not supposed to drive like this in Utah, Charlene.

  Charly : Charly, call me Charly.

  Sam : I don't think this is such a good idea, Charly.

• Sam : All I want is one lousy miracle! Is that too much to ask?

  Charly : [crying]  It is not the end.

  Sam : What if I was wrong? What if there's nothing after this and it's all just a lie?

  Charly : It doesn't feel like a lie.

• Charly : Sam, wait up. Don't go, let's talk.

  Sam : How could you do this to me?

  Charly : To you?

  Sam : You're not who I thought you were.

  Charly : Sam, I had a life before I met you, I did. But it was different then, and I was different then. Sam... Sam, look at me. You introduced me to a new way of looking at life, but it's not going to mean much to me unless you're a part of it. Sam... Sam, I think I just told you I love you. Sam, please say something. What do you want?

  Sam : I don't know. Not used merchandise.

  [Charly walks off distraught] 

• Sam : I was jealous...

  Mark Reynolds : mmhmm

  Sam : ...and thoughtless...

  Mark Reynolds : Don't let me stop you

• Sam : Do you do that often, lie to complete strangers?

  Charly : No, I lie to people I know too.

• Charly : Describe her to me.

  Sam : Who?

  Charly : The future Mrs. Utah. What's she like? No, let me guess. A little on the stout side, but pleasant, always pleasant. Perpetually aproned, but never ruffled. June Cleaver with a day-planner.

  Sam : You have no idea what you're talking about.

  Charly : Come on, Utah. You cannot tell me, sitting there in your highly starched shirt, that you do not dream of tying the knot with some ultra-organized gorgeous woman who just happens to love to cook and sew and cater to your every whim.

• Charly : Well, I decided to be fair. We Easterners are noted for our fairness.

  Sam : Oh, yeah, I've heard about the Salem witch trials.

  Charly : Not bad, Sam. Stick with me, and I will make you a wit. You're halfway there now.

• Charly : I've been hoisted up on my own petard.

  Sam : Oh, that can be painful. I got hit in my petard once playing baseball.

  Charly : [chuckles]  Oh, Sam, what have we done to each other?

• Sam : Get away from her. You... you New Yorker!

• Charly : I've been discussing the whole thing with God. We're very close now, He and I.

  Sam : Oh, really?

  Charly : I said, "Father, Sam's being a jerk."

  Sam : And?

  Charly : He agreed with me, of course.

  Sam : Of course.

  Charly : I told Him how you'd broken my heart. He understood about that. "But," I said, "I still love him."

  Sam : What did He say?

  Charly : He said I was probably a glutton for punishment, but I suppose I've always known that.

  Sam : I love you.

  Charly : You'd better.

• Charly : That was it.

  Sam : What?

  Charly : In a world full of people afraid to believe in anything, it was your wide-eyed, obstinate, happily-ever-after faith - in life, in God, and in me.
