![]() Young Allie: I know that they happened, and they were wonderful. I have a fianc? waiting for me at a hotel who's going to be crushed when he finds out what I did. Young Noah: So you make love to me, and go back to your husband. Was that your plan? Was that a test I didn't pass? Young Allie: No, I made a promise to a man. He gave me a ring and I gave him my word. Young Noah: And your word is shot to hell now, don't you think? Young Allie: I don't know. Young Noah: This is not about keeping your promise, and it's not about following your heart. Young Allie: What is that supposed to mean? Young Noah: Money! Young Allie: What are you talking about? Young Noah: He has a lot of money. Young Allie: Now I hate you, you smug bastard. Young Allie: Have you been paying attention to anything that's happening? Young Noah: I guess not, I think I must have misread all of those signals. Young Allie: Well I guess you did! Young Noah: You're bored! You're bored and you know it! You wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing. Young Allie: You arrogant son of a bitch. ![]() Young Noah: Would you just stay with me? Young Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we're already fighting. Young Noah: Well, that's what we do! We fight! You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass, which you are 99% of the time. They have, like, a two second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. Young Allie: So what? Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. And we're gonna have to work at this every day. But I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Can you do something for me? Please? Will you just picture your life for me? Thirty years from now? Forty years from now? What's it look like? If it's with that guy, go. I think I can do it again if I thought that's what you really wanted. ![]() Young Allie: What easy way? There is no easy way. No matter what I do, somebody gets hurt! Young Noah: Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants?! Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want? What do you want? Young Allie: It's not that simple! Young Noah: What do you want? Goddammit, what do you want? Young Allie: I have to go.In real life, the closest most guys have gotten to a legitimate fight is the time they bloodied a bully’s nose in the third grade or, more likely, had their nose bloodied and went home crying (but keep telling your version of the storywe believe you). One of the great things about movies is that we get to watch people beat the everliving crap out of each other, complete with limbs flying off and heads exploding, but can rest assured that no one’s head really exploded. Nestled comfortably in that knowledge, we don’t have to feel so sadistic for enjoying watching it so much. We’re only a decade and change into the new millennium, but filmmakers are only upping the stakes when it comes to gratuitous, life-like violence and over-the-top fight gore. So we’d like to tip our hats to the best of this millennium’s fight scenes. ![]() One-on-one or one-on…88, these cinematic knockouts almost get us pumped up enough to make a stand against that old elementary school bully.
