Aftersun - Conversations About Money and Generosity

Sophie: Stop doing that.
Calum: Doing what?
Sophie: Offering to pay for something when I know you don't have the money.

Aftersun - Connected Under the Same Sky

Sophie: I think it's nice that we share the same sky.
Calum: What do you mean?
Sophie: Well, like... Sometimes at playtime, I look up at the sky and if I can see the sun, then... I think that the fact that we can both see the sun. So, even though we're not actually in the same place and we're not actually together, we kind of are in a way, you know? Like we're both underneath the same sky, so... we're kind of together.

Hamnet - The Tragic Tale of Orpheus and Eurydice

Will: [[w:Orpheus and Eurydice|Orpheus and Eurydice] Do you know the story of ]? Orpheus is a man of music. He has this exquisite voice. His playing of the kithara, which is a... is-is a harp-like lyre, is so divine, birds, the... the beasts, e-even the stones and the trees, they all moved to the rhythm of his music. Now, Orpheus falls in love with this beautiful nymph, Eurydice. Soon after their marriage, Eurydice's bitten by a viper and poison courses through her body, and she's killed. And Orpheus, filled with grief, journeys to the underworld to take her back. He charms this three-headed dog, Cerberus. He beguiles Hades until finally... he's allowed to take his love back with him to the world of the living but... under one condition.
Agnes: What is it?
Will: She must follow behind him, and he must not turn around to look at her. Now, as they begin their ascent, Orpheus can't hear her footsteps, so he listens... and listens and listens and listens. But all he can hear is the sound of his heartbeat. And the rest is silence. And as he approaches the gates of the underworld... he can't contain himself any longer. He turns around to look at her, and she is... trapped in the underworld forever.
