nothing's as big as your first love

I remember watching Little Manhattan last September last year and Josh Hutcherson was just so adorable (until now actually). Here is a 62 words summary of the story:

In Manhattan, the 10 ¾ years old Gabe (Josh Hutcherson) finds his first love when he meets his former kindergarten mate, the eleven years old Rosemary (Charlie Ray), in his karate classes. Confused with his new feelings and with the divorce process of his beloved parents, Leslie (Cynthia Nixon) and Adam (Bradley Whitford), he experiences the delightful unknown sensation of being in love for the first time.

If you haven’t watched the movie, then I advice you that you should get up from that sit, go to the DVD store where you buy your cheap DVDs and purchase one. Or, you can just download the movie if you’re like a lazy person like me (Andy!! Download for me?? XD). So anyways, since I was so attached with the movie, I went to this internet movie database and searched for it. I copied some lines and decided to share it with you because it is so moving. Haha.


Adam (Gabe’s Dad): Once upon a time, we really loved each other, but as time went by, there just got to be all these things, little things, stupid things, that were left unsaid. And all these things that were left unsaid piled up, like the clutter in our storage room. And after awhile, there was so much that was left unsaid, that we barely said anything at all.

...

Gabe: Somewhere a million miles away, the girl I once loved was going down her road, and I was stuck back on mine.

...

Gabe: I couldn't escape them, all the little things I left unsaid, I was drowning in them.

...

Gabe: There are very few things more painful than watching the woman you love grapple with another man. Actually, I take that back. There are no things more painful.

...

Gabe: What choice did I have but to return to my old, miserable life? Wait a minute. You were happy. Oh, please! I was miserable. I just didn't know how miserable I was.

...

(I saved the best for last!)

Gabe: Love is an ugly, terrible business practiced by fools. It'll trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor. And what does it really get you in the end? Nothing but a few incredible memories that you can't ever shake. The truth is, there's gonna be other girls out there. I mean, I hope. But I'm never gonna get another first love. That one is always gonna be her.
