“l had to come all the way from the highways and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to Motor City, Detroit to find my true love. lf you gave me a million years to ponder, l would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would go together. And to this day, the events that followed all seem like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. l kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and everything seemed so shitty. And he’d say: ‘That’s the way it goes. But don’t forget, it goes the other way too.’ That’s the way romance is. Usually that’s the way it goes. But every once in a while, it goes the other way too.”

I love this movie with all my heart.
