Moonstruck

Scene with Loretta and Ronny Cammareri

Ronny: Ok you tell me my life, I’ll tell you yours. I’m a wolf? You run to the wolf but that don’t make you no lamb. You gonna marry my brother, why you wanna sell your life short? Playin’ it safe’s just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. I mean you waited for the right man the first time, why didn’t you wait for the right man again?

Loretta: Because he didn’t come.

I’m here.

You’re late........This is your place.

That’s right.

So this is where we were going?

Yeah.

You know, we had a deal. You told me that if I came with you to the opera then, then you’d leave me alone forever. And I came with you. Now I’m gonna marry your brother, and you’re gonna leave me alone forever, right? A person can see where they’ve messed up in their life, and they can change the way they do things. And they can even change their luck. So maybe, maybe my nature does draw me to you, but that don’t mean I have to go with it. I can take hold of myself and I can say yes to some things, and no to other things that are gonna ruin everything, I can do that. Otherwise, you know what, what good is this stupid life god gave us, I mean for what? Are you listening to me?

Yeah. Everything seems like nothing to me now against I want you in my bed. I don’t care if I burn in hell. I don’t care if you burn in hell. The past and the future is a joke to me now, I see that they’re nothin’, I see they ain’t here. The only thing that’s here is you, and me.

I wanna go home.

No.

I’m gonna go home.

No.

I’m freezing to death.

Come upstairs. I don’t care why you come. No that’s not what I mean. Loretta, I love you. Not, not like they told you love is. And I didn’t know this either, but love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything. It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We, we aren’t here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts. And love the wrong people and die. I mean the storybooks are bullshit! Now would ya come upstairs with me, and and GET in my bed!
