"Of all ducks, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love."

So, I've been thinking about someday making these into Princess Tutu icons. But I think I'll wait until I see the second season (Send me more eps, Kawcrow! I love you! I dance for you! Send me more eps!), so that I can get even better pictures. Anyway, I was thinking about comparisons to The Last Unicorn last night, and hurredly wrote myself a note to find the script and get the dialogue for potential xover icons...


From The Last Unicorn film script, end of the film:

(Scene: A forest. Schmendrick and Molly are with Lír.)


PRINCE LIR: I will miss you. I never had any friends before. (Hugs each one.)
SCHMENDRICK: We will come back.
PRINCE LIR: I wish I could see her just once more, to - to tell her all that's in my heart. She will never know what I really meant to say.
SCHMENDRICK: She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.

(Lír gets on his horse and rides away.)

SCHMENDRICK: (turns to Molly) Come with me?
MOLLY GRUE: I will.



(Scene: An open field at night. Molly is sleeping; Schmendrick has
awakened to find the unicorn there.)

UNICORN: You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?
SCHMENDRICK: Well, men don't always know when they're happy, but I-I think so. And you?
UNICORN: I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am no longer like the others; for no unicorn was ever born who could regret. But now I do. I regret.

SCHMENDRICK: I am sorry, I have done you evil and I cannot undo it.

UNICORN: No. Unicorns are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy - save one, and I thank you for that part too. Farewell, good magician. I will try to go home.

(Schmendrick nods. He wakes up Molly and they both see the unicorn shining before she dashes away...)

There are no happy endings, because nothing ends

"No duck was ever born who could regret!"

I am inappropriately amused.

I knew you would be amused; I'm sure I'll share your amusement when I watch more.

Another good quote for a future Tutu icon...

Oh - both those passages are written so wonderfully they make my heart ache just to *think* about them. Not all of "the Last Unicorn" is as well-acted as it could be, I guess, but there are parts of it where the dialogue is such that the acting can't help but be beautiful. God... that last exchange between Schmendrick and the Unicorn breaks my heart every time.

I know. I was thinking about that too after I posted it, particularly the last scene. Wonderful dialogue.
