The Notebook
Excuse me.
Come on, honey, let's
get you ready for bed.
I am no one special,
just a common man
with common thoughts.
I've led a common life.
There are no monuments
dedicated to me.
And my name
will soon be forgotten.
But in one respect,
I've succeeded as gloriously
as anyone who ever lived.
- Looking good, Duke.
- Feeling good.
I've loved another
with all my heart
and soul and for me
that has always been enough.
How's it hanging, Harry?
I keep trying to die,
but they won't let me.
Well, you can't
have everything.
Big day today.
You say that every day,
you old devil.
It's a lovely day
outside.
Let's take a walk.
I don't think so.
Well, we've got to get
you out of this room.
Come on now, honey.
Some fresh air
- would do you good.
- Hello.
I'm sorry,
it's not a good day.
I don't think
she's up for anything.
Hello?
This is Duke,
he's come to read to you.
- Read?
- Mm-hmm.
No.
I don't know.
Oh, come on,
you'll like him, he's very funny.
Ahh...
All right now,
where did we leave off?
Oh, yeah, yeah,
it was the night of the carnival.
"Noah, was there with his friends,
Fin and Sarah."
- Noah?
- That's where they met...
June 6th, 1940.
Allie was
17 years old.
- Little man wins a prize.
- Damn!
- Thank you for playing.
- Ha, you're real funny.
Man, I clobbered
that thing.
I'm tellin' you,
these games are fixed.
- Hello.
- How are you?
Hi, what's your name?
Step right up here.
Over the hook, yeah.
Whoa.
- Who's this girl with Sara?
- Her name's Allie Hamilton.
She's here for the summer
with her family.
Dad's got more
money than God.
- Hi, Fin!
- Hi, honey.
Look, I won you a prize.
Oh, Fin, thank you!
- Oww!
- Yeah.
Hey great, huh?
Hey Allie, you want
some cotton candy?
- Umm, okay.
- That would be so much fun.
You only get
one chance, son.
- You want to dance with me?
- No.
- Why not?
- 'Cause I don't want to.
Noah, she's with us.
Hey Allie, you want
to ride the Ferris wheel?
- I'd love to.
- All right.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- Noah Calhoun.
- What?
Works down at the lumber yard
with Fin.
Oh...
Did you see he was standing like
two inches away from my face?
Yeah, I saw.
That's Noah, though.
You know I'm surprised
he even came over.
Hey what... jerk...
Get off me.
Don't touch me.
- Hey!
- Well, I... ugh!
- What are you doing?
- Hey, you can't do that!
I'll pay you
when I get down, Tommy.
I'm Noah Calhoun.
- So?!
- So, it's really nice to meet you.
- Allie, who is this guy?
- I don't know, Noah Calhoun.
- I would really like to take you out.
- Friend! Do you mind?
You can't sit more than two people
in a chair, Noah.
Okay, Tommy,
all right.
Get down, Noah,
you're gonna kill yourself!
Noah, cut it out.
Now, will you
go out with me?
What?
- No.
- No?
- No.
- No?
Hey pal,
she just told you.
Why not?
I don't know,
because I don't want to.
Noah!
What? Well, you leave me
Oh my God.
I'm not kidding.
- Noah, stop fooling around.
- What are you doing?
- Noah, grab the bar.
- I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Will you...
- or will you not go out with me?
- Noah, you best come on.
- God damn, my hand's slipping.
- Then grab the bar, you idiot.
- Not until she agrees.
- Ah, go on out with him, honey.
- Okay, okay, fine,
I'll go out with you.
- What?
- No, don't do me any favors.
No, no. I want to.
- You want to? You want to?
- Yes!
- Say it.
- I want to go out with you.
- Say it again.
- I want to go out with you.
All right, all right
we'll go out.
