Wicker Park quotes

  • [Alex films Lisa with her new video camera]

    Lisa: Come on, let me film you.

    Alex: No, you first.

    Lisa: Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't be shy if you wanna be an actress.

    Lisa: [Lisa holds up a book] Here.

    Alex: Shakespeare.

    Lisa: [Lisa continues to hold the book up to Alex and the camera] This is your big break.

    Alex: That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.

    Lisa: [Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera] Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.

    [Alex begins to grows jealous of Lisa's natural acting ability]

    Lisa: So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.

    Alex: No, that was amazing.

    Lisa: [Lisa tells Alex through the camera] You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

  • [Alex remembers the flashback of when she told Lisa that Matthew had been sleeping with another girl, which was a complete lie]

    Alex: [Alex cries to realize how horrible of a person she is, with Luke on the other side of her dressing room door] Luke, I'm so sorry.

    Luke: No. Shh. It's okay.

    Alex: I'm so sorry.

    Luke: No. Please, don't apologize. Please. God. I know you're doing the best you can. I just... I want to you to know that I... that I love you. All right? And I don't want to play games anymore. What's the point? I'm just terrible at them anyways.
