Question.. have looked everywhere I can find.. but same as looking for "The Notebook" I cannot find anywhere that actually "quotes" Orlando's proposal to her.. Does anyone know where I can find this?? Would be GREATLY appreciated :-)
shareI know you don’t believe in fairy tales, but if you did, I’d want to be your Knight in Shining Amour. You’ve been through so much I don’t want to see you hurt anymore. Now, I may not be able to give you all that you’re used to, but I do know that I can love you past your pain. I don’t want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that’s all you have to do and I’ll take it from there. There is one condition: You have to be my wife.
I used this quote for a paper...I couldn't find this online, so I had to do it the hard way...watching the movie and stoping it after every couple of words. Enjoy.
<><
oh wow....
too beautiful....
thanks halogrl
"I dont chase anyone who wont chase me back....BB"
Okay, what about the part where he says... "...because you're in my very spirit, and I pray for you more than I pray for myself..." Does anyone have the exact words he says to her in that moment? Please... I'm dying here. :)

That was part of the why I love you speech.
The way shemar moore delivered the night in shining armor line was so corny. But he played a sweet character and I needa man like that.

"I love being ugly"-you
I FOUND ONE
"Helen, if I'm away from you for more than an hour, I can't stop thinking about you. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself. I've got it so bad for you I'd... I'd go to the grocery store and buy your feminine products, I swear I would.
[Helen and Orlando laugh]"
I thought those were the best lines in the movie!! The "I'm in love wth you" speech and the proposal...sigh
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous
"I carry you in my spirit, I pray for you more than I pray for myself..." one of my favourite lines from the movie. Too bad guys like Orlando don't exist in real life.
shareThis was the only thing that ruined this movie for me, the whole Helen/Orlando thing. She treats the guy like crap right from the vary start, showing him no respect whatsoever. He goes out of his way to be nice to her & she consistently kicks him in the teeth. Just when I say c'mon cut her lose already he he proposes to her!
Not that I didn't enjoy the movie I did but the fact they had a nice guy go that far out of his way & shown nothing in return really riuned it me. Any character real life or not attracted to the qualities she was showing has to have some serious issues.

I didn't see the part where Helen treated Orlando badly, but I suppose being that he was like her once, dumped and disappointed, he has empathy and patience for her. And he could probably tell that she was becoming a different person. If she met him and was rude to him when she was rich, he probably knew that she was a different person. Not like her husband, who after she nursed and watched over him, starts treating her like dirt again once he gets mad at her while she's helping him.

I didn't see the part where Helen treated Orlando badlyYou must not have watched the same movie. In the U-Haul truck right when they meet he explains to her he's gotta go to work, a 12 hour shift mind you. She starts screaming at him and then abandons him in a bad neighbourhood, yelling at him at the house party like the whole ordeal was all his fault, she doesn't even know the man, throwing her drink in his face. For some reason he then picks her up out of the rain. All he gets is "Take me straight home!". He buys the women dinner who has no money! she goes on to say things like "You tell that to all your women!?" & then accuses him of being the fault of his last "bad" break up by getting bored of his girlfriend, hitting her, or cheating on her {Red Flags Anybody!?}. I'm at that point you gotta cut this toon loose & he then proposes to her Did he even get her last name!?
When I said "I didn't see the part when Helen treated Orlando" badly I meant that I missed that part of the movie. But according to how they talked when they met again, did they have a bad meeting before.
I didn't see the part where Charles threw Helen out where he abuses her, but since her husband had all of her clothes put into a U-Haul truck from what I've read, and if Orlando is that driver, it wouldn't be surprising that she might blow up at the driver that helped her husband kick her out of the house, literally it seems too. And Orlando wouldn't be the first guy that didn't run when a women gave him crap because she was treated like dirt. Perhaps that would mean he's the nice guy that gets kicked around, but they do exist.
I think Orlando was able to see pass Helen's reactions to him because he knew that she was hurting. He could relate to her hurt because remember he told her he had been through the same thing with his last relationship. Orlando saw Helen for the person that she was, not the person who was bitter (and had every right to be) because of the way her husband treated her.
That's what made him special.....the fact that he pursued a woman who was beautiful in spirit and had been brutally hurt by her spouse. If we all left people alone to deal with their pain alone, no one would be with anyone worthy. Orlando made Helen realize that she deserved more in life, more than just material possessions, and definitely more than a man who treated her like trash. He knew that because he had been there himself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a man who reveals so much of himself to the woman he loves. And those men DO exist, because my husband is one of them! :0)
She had shown him nothing to see past but her vulgar behaviour towards him. Whether or not she had a right to be bitter she was taking it on the wrong person, innocent bystander who for some reason tried to reach out to her. "Beautiful in spirit" I must have watched an edited edition of the movie for I didn't see it at any time {that wasn't with her husband}.
The only reason I go on to say this is because I've been in the same position as Orlando. A woman who I was interested in had had some bad events happen to her, like every other person on the planet male or female! I made the ultimate error in believing once she seen who I really was we'd be alright. she started doing all the things I seen in this movie & I was to blinded to see what was happening {yeah flashback!}. I had single handily allowed her to take all the bad stuff that had ever happened to her out on me & eventually that's all the relationship was. After all my friends & some of hers asked why I allow her to do this. I kept saying she's gonna see who I am & everything will be fine. Now in the real world with the way I had allowed her to treat me she whole heartedly believed that was my one and only sole propose in life was for her to take all her aggression out on. Once I realised what was happening I told her I couldn't do this any more and why. That break up was actually worst then the time I had lost with her and lasted longer! As I said in her mind my sole propose in life is for her to $hit on and it was I that started that ball rolling. I can't possibly fathom wanting to marry a person like that.
With abuse you allow it, you put up with it male or female it doesn't go away & it doesn't get better.

Maybe you can't separate seeing Helen and Orlando's relationship with how your relationship ended up. Helen did not always treat Orlando like dirt, since she had good times being with him and they dated for several months.
shareAnd if they do exist....they don't look THAT good! LOL
shareThey do exist.. but you're not attracted to them. Instead, you're attracted to the guys who are jerks.
yes a lot of his lines were delivered kind of poorly...but it was ok. we can let it slide...
"I'm the Police Chief. I know everything..."
It's in the memoable quotes section.
