What would you do if that lost opportunity came around a second time?

Nine years after meeting in Vienna, Jesse is a bestselling writer touring Europe to promote his latest novel, which is inspired by that encounter. His tour takes him to the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, where he signs books and faces an interview with three journalists. The debate centers on the ending of the story. One believes the characters will see each other again, another thinks they won't, and the third hopes they will but doubts it will happen. Richard Linklater directs this second installment of the saga. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who also co-write the screenplay, play the lead couple.

Quotes by Before Sunset

I'm designed to feel slightly dissatisfied.
Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past.
Maybe it's just a sense of entitlement. You know, like whenever you feel like you deserve that new pair of shoes. It's OK to want things as long as you don't get pissed off if you don't get 'em. Right?
They enjoy the goal but not the process. But the reality of it is that the true work of improving things is in the little achievements of the day.
Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we wouldn't learn a thing.
I see it in the people that do the real work, and what's sad in a way is that the people that are the most giving, hardworking, and capable of making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a leader.
