Lost in translation

My favourite scene in the entire world. From Lost in Translation.

Charlotte and Bob lie a few feet apart on the bed.

Charlotte: I'm Stuck. Does it get easier.

Bob: No, yes, it does...

Charlotte: Yeah? But look at you/

Bob: Thanks. It does, the more you know who you are... you don't care about things the same way...

Charlotte: I just don't know what i'm supposed to be. I thought maybe I wanted to be a writer... but i hate what i write, and i tried taking pictures, and mine are so mediocre...and every girl goes through a photography phase, like horses, you know dumb pictures of your feet...

Bob: You'll figure it out. I'm not worried about you. Keep writing.

Charlotte: But, i'm mean.

Bob: Thats ok.

Charlotte: and marriage, does that get easier?

Bob: It's hard. We started going to a marriage counselor.

Charlotte: Did that help? Did you learn anything?

Bob: We established that we have no communication.

Charlotte: Oh.

Bob: We used to have fun, she used to like to go to places with me for my movies and we would laugh at all the weirdos, but now she's tired of it all. She never wants to leave the kids, she doesn't need me, and they don't need me, I feel like i'm in the waty. It gets complicated when you have kids... that changes everything.

Charlotte: Thats too scary.

Bob: When they're born its like vietnam. Its terrigying.

Charlotte: (getting tired) No one ever tells you that...

Bob: But, its great being with them, after they can talk, and can do things with out.

Charlotte: That's nice. My parents were always travelling, they werenmt around so much.

Bob: Where'd you grow up?

Charlotte: In D.C., my dad was the Ambassador to France in the eighties, so we went to school in Paris for a few years... but we mostly lived in D.C., and they were never around... and then I moved to Los Angeles when John and I got married... it's so different there.

Bob: I know.

Charlotte: John thinks im so snotty.

Bob: You are.

Charlotte: I know, but thats what you like about me.

Why do you have to be with your opposite, why can't similar people be together?

Bob: because that would be too easy

They fall alseep, on top of the sheets, on opposite sides of the bed.

I love this scene. But I think, the longer you knowe someone, the harder it gets. ALWAYS.
