Man: Do you have a girlfriend?

Alex Burnham: Uh, You're gonna think I'm crazy.

路人：你有女朋友吗?

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：难道你认为我疯了吗?

Kate Forster: [voice over] Dear new tenant¹, welcome to your new home. I'm sure you'll love living here as much as I did.

Alex Burnham: What do you mean lived here?

Kate Forster: Since no one has lived in this house for years.

凯特•福斯特：亲爱的新房客，欢迎你搬来这里，我相信你会喜欢这里，就像曾经住在这里的我一样。

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：你说曾经住在这里是什么意思?

凯特•福斯特：因为这栋房子已经好多年没有人住了。

Kate Forster: [voice over] Ridiculous. For argument's sake², what day is it there?

Alex Burnham: April 14th, 2004.

Kate Forster: No. It's April 14th, 2006.

Alex Burnham: It's the same day two years apart.

凯特•福斯特：实在是荒谬，为了更方便讨论，能告诉我你那里几号吗?

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：2004年4月14日。

凯特•福斯特：不，应该是2006年4月14日。

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：恰好是相隔两年的同一天。

Alex Burnham: [voice over] How's your sunset?

Kate Forster: It's perfect.

Alex Burnham: I only wish you were here to share it with me.

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：你那里的日出如何?

凯特•福斯特：非常漂亮。

艾力克斯•伯汉姆：我真的希望你能在这里和我分享这一切。

Alex却最终爽约。 Kate终于意识到自己早已远离现实，她一直在守候那触摸不到的真情。她决定离开，告诉Alex不要再给她写信，最后留下那句深情割舍不断的“请让我放开你的手”……

Kate：You weren't there. You didn't come.

Alex：I don't understand. Something must have happened. I'm sorry. I've got two years, Kate. We can try again.

Kate：No, Alex, it's too Iate. It already happened. It didn't work.

Alex：Don't give up on me, Kate. What about Persuasion³? You told me. They wait. They meet again, they have another chance.

Kate：Life is not a book, Alex. And it can be over in a second. I was having lunch with my mother at Daley Plaza⁴...and a man was killed right in front of me. He died in my arms. And I thought "It can't end just like that on Valentine's Day." I thought about all the people who love him, waiting at home...who will never see him again. And then I thought "What if there is no one?" What if you live your whole life and no one is waiting? So I drove to the lake house looking for any kind of answer. And I found you. And I let myself get lost. Lost in this beautiful fantasy where time stood still. But it's not real, Alex. I have to learn to live the life that I have got. Please don't write anymore. Don't try to find me. Let me let you go.
