The premise of the movie is a young woman falls in love with an older man who cannot open his heart to her, or presumably anyone. And the story goes...
So I can hurt now or hurt later. Now I guess.Utter sadness verbalized by Mirabelle as she realizes that no matter how much she loves Ray , being with him will only cause her anguish. And so she leaves...
Some nights alone he thinks of her. And some nights alone she thinks of him. Some nights these thoughts occur at the same moment. And Mirabelle and Ray are connected without ever knowing it...The quote is longer, however this is the important aspect. Ray searches for Mirabelle in the women he meets and ends up content in his discontent. However, Mirabelle, has presumably found reciprocal love, respect, and adoration with another who is more willing and able than Ray could ever be.
And my favorite quote accompanied by a prefacing clip is of the ending. The following quote is words spoken as Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away to the arms of her lover and realizes the consequences of his choices:
As Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her. Only then does he realize that wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both and how he cannot justify his actions except that... well... it was life.
