(From the Movie Twilight- 2008)
Edward Cullen: I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore.
Isabella Swan: Then don't.
Hear ye, Twilight fans!
I don't want to pretend that I'm not moved by those lines uttered by the drop dead gorgeous, Volvo-driving and blood-sucking vampire when I first saw it on big screen. I've always been a sucker for love stories anyway. It was really fine and meaningful to me at first. But later on, it somehow gets way too mushy for me that such lines became something not entirely moving anymore. I can see the prevalence of those lines posted on almost every friendster shout outs like a spreading amoeba and that just sucks.
Until I discovered something..... Long before Edward the Vampire said those words to his poor Bella, those very lines happen to be a rip-off or an almost the same version to the one done more than half a century ago and delivered in the most subtle yet powerful way by the legendary Ingrid Bergman to Humphrey Bogart in the movie Casablanca.
And yes, here's the iconic and riveting script of the movie:
Rick: But it's still a story without an ending. What about now?
Ilsa: Now? I don't know. I know that I'll never have the strength to leave you again.

....oh, then don't.
