The Holiday

Miles: Why do I always fall for the bad girl?

Iris: You didn't know she was a bad girl.

Miles: I knew she wasn't good…Do you have anything a little bit stronger?

Iris: ...

Miles: Thank you. Let me rephrase this: why am I attracted to a person I know isn't good?

Iris: I happen to know the answer to this. You're hoping you're wrong. She does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. Every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over... and you lose that argument with yourself that she's not for you.

Miles: Exactly.

(….)

Iris: Listen, I know it's hard to believe people when they say, "l know how you feel." But I actually know how you feel. (…)

Iris: What I’m trying to say is: I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. How it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you. It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with girlfriends. You still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong, or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy?... And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door.
And after all that, however long "all that" may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade…

Miles: ...

Iris: Well, fuck!
