"Before Sunrise" begins with a middle-aged German couple in a quarrel.
Celine said: Hey you know what? When couples reach middle age, they will be selectively deaf. Men can't hear high frequencies and women can't hear low frequencies.
Jesse said: That way they can grow old or kill each other.

One nine years passed.

Another nine years have passed.

When the two of them were middle-aged, they listened to each other seriously, even if they betrayed, even if they were slack, even if they were selfish. They listened carefully to each other's words, fell in love with each other and killed each other~

Before Midnight quotes

  • Nina: Like sunlight, sunset, we appear, we disappear. We are so important to some, but we are just passing through.

  • Celine: You know what? The only time I get to think now is when I take a shit at the office. I'm starting to associate thoughts with the smell of shit.

    Jesse: Ha ha. That is a good line. I gonna use that in a book some day.

    Celine: I'm sure you will. And that'll be the best line in the book.
