Alright. I'm a sucker for kiddy romances. You wanna know what I think are the top four most romantic movie scenes and/or book passages? Here we go:
1) Anne of Green Gables:
Anne: I don't know what to say.
Gil: Don't say anything. Just sign the contract.
Anne: But you have to pay for your board. You'll never save enough for college. You can't-
Gil: I'll save enough. Besides I'm keeping up my studies by correspondence.
Anne: So am I. Thank you-- for giving up the school for me, Gilbert. That's very good of you. I want you to know that I really appreciate it.
Gil: I figure you can give me a hand with my work and we'll call it even.
Anne: Aren't you worried? I'm liable to break another slate over your head.
Gil: I'm more worried I might break one over yours....Carrots [Watch this part. Its good]. Come on I'll walk you home.
2) Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, Chapter 21, Page 155:
"Only if you slide too."
"I"ll go first so I can catch you at the bottom." He flew down so incautiously that I suspected him of years of practice in his own castle.
It was my turn. The ride was a dream, longer and steeper than the rail at home. The hall rose to meet me, and Char was there. He caught me and spun me around.
"Again!" he cried.
We raced up. Behind me he said, "Wait till you try the banister at home."
...
"Here I go." He was off.
I followed. I was almost to the bottom when the door opened. I sailed into Char's arms observed by the stunned faces of Father and my new family.
Char couldn't see them and twirled me as before, until he got halfway round. Then he set me gently on the floor and bowed at Father and Mum Olga, his buttonless doublet flapping. He was laughing so hard he couldn't speak.
3) Snow Day:
Lane: Hal. Why are you here? What is all this?
Hal: Wasn't it you who said that true love is all about finding someone you can stand to be around for ten minutes at a time?
Lane: Ya?
Hal: You got ten minutes?
[Don't watch the rest of the movie. Its dumb.]
4) Robot Dreams by Sara Varon, Last Page:
"By and large, “Robot Dreams” is that rare combination of the sweet and the emotionally resonant. To me, this is basically a story about friendship, love, and how to move on when your heart’s been broken. It just happens to also be wrapped up in a very innocent tale of a dog and his robot."
