Who said it?: Vivian
The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the 1990 romantic comedy, Pretty Woman. The film stars Julia Roberts as Vivian Ward, an “escort” with a heart of gold, and Richard Gere as Edward Lewis, a rather calculating and cold-hearted businessman. Produced by Disney‘s Touchstone Pictures, Pretty Woman sees Edward Lewis hiring Vivian Ward and her services for the entire week to keep up appearances in social events. However, things turn out more than they both bargain for as their relationship turns from a mere business transaction when the both of them start getting feelings for each other.
The quote comes at the very end of the film. Edward, realizing he can’t live without Vivian, goes to her apartment and climbs a fire escape to be with her. Once he and she meet on the fire escape, Edward asks Vivian about her childhood fantasy she mentioned near the start of the film regarding how a prince would rescue the damsel in distress and asks how the story ends. This is when Vivian delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: When two people love each other, each of them are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to make each other the best kind of person they can be.
