Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) - Quotes

Taglines: Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone.

Hardy Jenns: Look, I'm perfectly willing to forget this. Okay? I see no reason in carrying this on any longer. It was a joke. It's gone too far. It's over. Okay?

Keith Nelson: [turns to leave] You want the truth? You want the plain truth? You're over.

Amanda Jones: Are you just gonna leave?

Keith: There isn't anything I could do to him that he hasn't already done to himself.

Jones: [comes up to Hardy; smiles at Hardy and slaps him... and slaps him again] I wish I could live with that.

Watts: She said she'd meet you here?

Keith Nelson: Not in those words.

Watts: In any words? Maybe she didn't have ID.

Keith: Who doesn't have ID?

Watts: Maybe she doesn't like you as much as you think.

Keith: Maybe.

Watts: Do you miss me, Keith? Do you miss not being around me?

Keith: This isn't the third grade anymore.

Watts: She doesn't love you. It's a joke. It's all a joke.

Keith: [stern] How do you know?

Watts: I'd bet my hands on it.

Keith: [drinks] You don't wanna make that bet.

Watts: Yeah, I do. I've been thinking a lot lately about you and me... and I came to a conclusion that I didn't want to deal with. But now that we've talked I can't hide it anymore. We'd get along much better if we didn't spend so much time together anymore.

Keith: Why?

Watts: [gets more emotional] Because I'm driving you crazy and you're driving me crazy. And I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me than have you see me and hate me. Cause I can't afford to have you hate me, Keith. The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums, and you. Adios.

Keith: [she looks back at him and leaves] Wait. Watts. Watts!

Keith: What? What?

Watts: [walks off] Lesson's over. You're cool.

Keith: [smiles] You're blushing.

Watts: Yeah, right. The day I blush--

Keith: No, no, that was very nice. You're-- You're pretty.

Watts: This is how you repay a favor, I'm not rich enough to be your friend.

Keith: [Watts leaves] No, wait. I didn't mean anything. I'm sorry. Don't be mad, okay? I'll see you tonight!

Amanda Jones: [notices that Watts has feelings for Keith after she walks off; removes earrings; gives earrings to Keith; Keith kisses a smiling Amanda on the cheeks before going] Remember how I said I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons than alone for the right ones? I'd rather be right. It's gonna feel good to stand on my own. Here. In your heart you wanted to give these to somebody else. Go. Go on.
