Though Lovers Be Lost... (1989)

Ron Perlman: Vincent

Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : How are you feeling?

  Vincent : I'm not sure.

  Catherine Chandler : Try to tell me.

  Vincent : Like a stranger.

  Catherine Chandler : What seems unfamiliar?

  Vincent : Many things. Many things I can't... I don't remember.

  Catherine Chandler : Do you feel like a stranger with me?

  Vincent : No, not with you. You're the woman that I love.

• Vincent : It's gone.

  Catherine Chandler : What's gone?

  Vincent : The connection. Our connection, our bond.

  Catherine Chandler : It'll return.

  Vincent : No, I don't think so.

  Catherine Chandler : Have faith that it will.

  Vincent : It's lost to me, I know.

  Catherine Chandler : How do you know? Why do you say that?

  Vincent : Because it is the price. The price I must pay for this... new peace, this contentment. But Catherine, what have I lost?

  Catherine Chandler : I don't think that it is lost. And even if it is, Vincent, it was a gift. That power was a gift. It came to you in a life when it was needed, and you used it, and... perhaps it is no longer needed.

  Vincent : More than once, it saved your life.

  Catherine Chandler : Maybe the gift will return to you in another form. Something you never even dreamed of. Vincent, your power was extraordinary. But it has nothing to do with what we are together, what we feel for each other. That is our connection. And if one gift is lost, there are other gifts waiting to be found, believe me. Vincent, there are so many gifts waiting for you. All you have to do is... just open your arms, receive them.

• Catherine Chandler : [dying]  Though lovers be lost...

  Vincent : Love shall not.

  Vincent : [Catherine dies]  And death shall have no dominion.

• [after recieving an urgent message from Catherine, Vincent waited on her balcony all night and is concerned that she never showed] 

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : You mustn't let fear eclipse logic.

  Vincent : Fear is all I have left to feel.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : What about hope?

  Vincent : She's gone, Father! Without a word! Or a sign. My sense of her...

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Your empathic connection will return, Vincent. I'm sure of it.

  Vincent : Until then?

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : Until then, you must have patience. And faith, Vincent. These are powerful healers.

  Vincent : Patience, faith.

  Jacob 'Father' Wells : For now, it's all you can do.

  Vincent : Well, all I can do is not enough!

• Catherine Chandler : How do you feel?

  Vincent : There are no words.

  Catherine Chandler : Try one.

  Vincent : Blessed.

• Catherine Chandler : I need to talk to you.

  Vincent : I can see that you do. There was a time when I would come to you.

  Catherine Chandler : What do you mean? I don't expect you to...

  Vincent : Catherine, I look in your face, I can see your unrest. There was a time when I could have felt it, here.

  [indicating his heart] 

  Vincent : Feel what you were feeling, everything. Across the city, across a continent. Now I have to wait for you to tell me. There was a time when I could feel you coming to me; feel you nearing in the tunnels. It was a source of great joy eradiating from you, filling me with joy. Tonight, I waited. 'Till the sentries sent me a message that you were here.
