There was only one thing the perfume could not do. It could not turn him into a person who could love and be loved like everyone else.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) dir. Tom Tykwer
I've never spoken of him until now. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory.
You know, before, I wasn't sure. But I am sure now. Watching you, hearing you speak. Now I'm sure that you're lying. You couldn't catch up with... Cyril? I've seen you run, Vera. You're fast. You're strong. You sprint. You turn your back for a moment and you couldn't catch up with Cyril? I know why you did it. But what you don't understand is that I really loved that little boy. I can't prove it. I can't prove a thing. Oh, but, Vera, if I did have proof... I'd see you hang.

“From time to time there is a move to do a little less in the way of period dramas, but people rebel. Audiences say we want them. There is a big hunger for them. I don’t think it’s sentimentality or nostalgia, it’s often that they are simply the best stories.” - Andrew Davies
