Letters to Juliet Quotes

Sophie (to Charlie) How many Sophies do you think there are on this planet? Don't wait fifty years like I did.

Sophie (to Sophie) Charlie doesn't approve, which makes it all the more fun.

Charlie (to Sophie) So, isn't your future fiance starting to get a tad lonely?

Sophie (reading Sophie's letter as Juliet to Claire) Dear Claire, "What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like: love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet

Charlie (entering the writing room) May I ask which one of you wrote this letter to my grandmother?

Sophie I wrote that.

Charlie What were you thinking?

Sophie She deserved an answer.

Sophie It's not supposed to be that way. We're supposed to want to be with each other all the time.

Charlie (about Juliet) I would have grabbed her from that blasted balcony and been done with it.

Charlie It's over! Done! We've found Nemo!

Charlie (attempting to get Claire to leave) It's been a long day.

Claire All right, darling. Have a nice sleep.

Sophie What you do for Claire... it's sweet.

Charlie It's just that I'm genuinely worried for her.

Lorenzo, Sr. (upon seeing Claire) I went for a ride as an old man, and came back as a teenager.

Sophie Charlie, say you're sorry.

Sophie (to Victor) We're leaving in twelves hours, and you haven't packed for Verona?

Victor Close your eyes. Close your eyes!

Sophie (about Sophie to Charlie) Her mother chose to leave her. You always knew your parents loved you.

Sophie So you've come to find your Lorenzo.

Claire Yes.

Charlie (uninterested) Of course a card or letter is just too simple.

Victor This isn't a good time because I'm in the middle of something.

Claire I think you understand why I'm saying you're a total idiot.

Charlie Okay, okay, Gran. Don't sugarcoat it.

Claire (smiling) I won't.

Sophie (reading Claire's letter to Juliet, not quite the same as the prop, q.v.) I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust. I promised I'd meet him and run away together because my parents don't approve. But, instead, I left him waiting for me below our tree, waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Verona now. I return to London in the morning and I am so afraid. Please, Juliet tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking, and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire

Sophie So no Lake Garda today?

Victor Well, Lake Garda's been there for five hundred thousand years.

Charlie Because the truth is, Sophie, I am madly, deeply, truly, passionately in love with you.

Sophie You can't go on forever, some point you have to stop.

Charlie Then why is it that I feel like a school boy on Sunday? It's nearly tomorrow and I don't want to go.

Sophie Me either, and i always liked school.

Sophie I'm sorry, I didn't know love had an expiration date.

Sophie (about Claire's letter) I think it's a story worth telling.

Charlie Patricia is my cousin.

Sophie How is that legal?
