Who knows? Lightning could strike.

This is an excerpt from my all-time favorite movie, Meet Joe Black.

SUSAN
You're not listening --

PARRISH
Oh yes, I am. Not an ounce of excitement, not a whisper of a thrill, this relationship has all the passion of a pair of titmice.

SUSAN
Don't get dirty, Dad --

PARRISH
Well, it worries me. I want you to get swept away. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish.

SUSAN
That's all?

PARRISH
Be deliriously happy. Or at least leave yourself open to be.

SUSAN
'Be deliriously happy'. I'm going to do my upmost --

He smiles.

PARRISH
I know it's a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart.
(a moment)
Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

SUSAN
Bravo.

PARRISH
Aw, you're tough.

SUSAN
I'm sorry. But give it to me again. The short version.

PARRISH
Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.
