Quotes by the characters Jennifer: "I don't believe what anybody says, I don't even believe you! I believe in you! And I believe what I feel, with my whole heart!" -- Mar. 09 1990, Harper's Parole Jennifer: "I'm tired of playing games, with you and me. The truth is ... is that I care about you more than anybody else in this world. More than anybody I have ever cared for in my life." Jack: "What about Frankie?" Jennifer: "Even Frankie. He never pushed me away like you did, until he left. And that hurt a lot, but what I felt for him, it faded away. Slowly but surely. And then, Jack, you came into my life and you were different. And what I felt was different. And the more you pushed me away and the more I got angry and the more I tried to stop caring about you, the more I realized it was just a waste of time. I couldn't stop. No matter how hard you pushed and no matter how hard I tried. I love you, Jack. And you feel the same way about me, I know you do. I don't even have to ask any more, I don't even have to wonder. You do Jack, you were just afraid. You were so afraid. You still are. Look at me." (takes him by the chin and turns his face up towards hers) "This could be the end, Jack, for both of us. We don't know what's going to happen next.

(kiss) "If you can't say it ..." (kiss) "... then you just can't say it." (longer kiss) Jack: "Jennifer --" Jennifer: "Ssh. If you can't say it, could you at least show me? At least show me, Jack."

(she begins to unbutton his shirt as they gaze at each other) Jack: "You know, Jennifer --" Jennifer: "I love you, Jack." (searches his face, waiting for a reply) Jack: "You know, Jennif--" Jennifer: (unwaveringly) "I love you."

Unfortunately they are soon interrupted by the ship's intercom.) -- Jun. 22 1990, Cruise of Deception Jennifer: "You're not like anybody else. You're unique, and so are we.

And I love it." -- Jul. 02 1990, Cruise of Deception Jack: "Look, you know I don't, uh, I don't express my feelings very well, I don't put into words ..."

Behind all those stupid fights and that smart talk and those bad jokes, this was here all along." ... "You were there all along. The real you. So gentle and so sweet." ... "You are, Jack. I felt it every time you touched me. There's no denying it. This is right, this is perfect." (kiss) -- Jul. 02 1990, Cruise of Deception Jack: (sighs heavily) "I'm a coward. I say I want to live alone. It's a lie. It's the act of a coward. I was just afraid to let anybody near me." ... "When I got to know you, I choked. I think I knew deep down that you were the one who was going to get in. So I thought maybe you'd just get tired and you'd go away." Jennifer: "Jack." Jack: "But you didn't go away though, you just kept, you just kept plugging in there." Jennifer: "I'm stubborn, remember? You said so yourself." Jack: "You just never gave up. I didn't think there could ever be someone with so much love inside them." Jennifer: (nods) "I do." Jack: "I put you through a lot. Wasted a lot of time." (emotionally) "I don't want to waste any more." -- Jun. 02 1990, Cruise of Deception Jennifer: "Just say it if that's what you feel. Just tell me right now. Look me in the eye and tell me right now that you never want to be this close to me ever again. And you never want to kiss me again. And you never want to hold me close, and feel your arms wrapped around me, and listen to me breathe in the middle of the night and wake up to me the next morning. Just say it. It's as easy as that, Jack, just say it." (kiss) "Just tell me that's what you want. Tell me that's what you believe." Jack: "This is not about what I want or what I believe, this is about what's b--" Jennifer: (kiss) You know what, Jack? Why don't you let me worry about what's best for me, okay?" Jack: "You know what, Jennifer, if y--" Jennifer: "Know what, Jack?" (kiss) "I'm a really big girl now." (kiss) "And I know what I want." (kiss) "And I know what I need." (kiss) "And I can take care of myself." (kiss) "Do you know what you want, Jack?" Jack: "Jennifer." Jennifer: "What." Jack: "I know ..." (long kiss) "I know that --" (picks her up in his arms and looks in her eyes) "I know my back's gonna kill me in the morning but I know what I want." -- Aug. 22 1990, Pre-Alamania Jack: "Because you're right.
