Kirsten Bennett quotes from Party of Five

Kirsten

I can't wait another six months, Charlie. Because in six months we're going to be exactly where we are today, and I don't ever want to feel this way again.

Kirsten

I would have given you everything today. For God's sake, Charlie, I would have given you me! I can't give you more than that---I don't know how to.

Kirsten

Well, the endive is just right, and the, uh, balsamic's perfect, and I'm married Charlie. I, uh, I got married.

Kirsten

I don't want to be the only one Charlie. Because what happens when I disappoint you some day...and I'm scared cause if I'm the only one I have to watch what I say and what I do...I hear what you are saying about them and it's like, I'm next in line to make the same mistakes they're making. I'll call you too much or not enough. Or you're going to get insulted about some analogy I make from my life.

Kirsten

[to Charlie] You know Paul's a good man, right? ... He just never wanted any of his own. ... I wanted to be able to do this for you.

Kirsten

I know what your feelings are, Charlie. I guess, sometimes I forget, maybe. But I've always known. So next year... tomorrow... I will marry you, whenever you want.

Charlie

Listen I got this idea. It says here there's a new band at the Armory and they're supposed to be really hot and I get off from the bar early. You free?

Kirsten

There must be something in the water. Suddenly everybody's interested in my social schedule. Actually I got 2 front row tickets to Liz Phair tonight.

Charlie

OK, that's just as good.

Kirsten

I'm going with George. He got them through his law firm.

Charlie

I can't believe you're going out with a lawyer. I mean isn't that kind of button down for you?

Kirsten

No, it's kind of perfect. The truth is I kind of owe it all to you. If you hadn't bailed out on me a couple of weeks ago, George and I might have never hooked up.

Charlie

If I could bring one ray of sunshine into your life...

Kirsten

You know, I thought we had something going Charlie, but you kind of weirded-out on me.

Charlie

I was trying to be a lot nobler then I actually am.

Kirsten

I'm not following you.

Charlie

Never mind it'll never happen again.

Charlie

You know what?

Kirsten

What?

Charlie

Nothing. It's, it's stupid.

Kirsten

Tell me..

Charlie

I, um... I used to get dragged to church when I was little and uh... I hated it. So I'd just stare at the angels on the ceiling and they always had this... beautiful golden hair like yours. So you just reminded me of an angel, I guess.

Kirsten

That's really nice.

Charlie

So what, it's one strike and I'm out with you?

Kirsten

I guess so, yeah! See, that's what happens when you cheat, and when you lie to me!

Paul

[about her spending time with Charlie] I don't want your apology Kirsten. I just want your.....I just want you.

Kirsten

You can't tell me you're jealous?!

Paul

I can't? Are you kidding? How many times have you been near or at an altar with this man?

Charlie

I didn't get to see her on her birthday. My daughter's one day old now. I can't figure out how things work, Kirsten. I mean, all this stuff with me and Daphne, all this crap that we had to get through, and the one thing that I was completely clear on, the one thing that seemed exactly right for me, was this baby...

Kirsten

Charlie.

Charlie

So now maybe that's the only thing I don't get to keep. How does that make sense?

Charlie

Why is everyone so sure that I must be a mess without Daphne....? Over is over, and we're a family. Why cant people just accept that?

Kirsten

'Cause we care about you.

Kirsten

I called Dale. She was disappointed. She tried to convince me that sometimes a stork flies over and drops a baby in a couple's lap 'cause it's meant to be. But I told her it wasn't... meant to be.

Paul

Not meant to be this way, no.

Kirsten

I think, maybe, Paul, not meant to be. Not this way or any way.

Kirsten

It's like finding out that I can't have children all over again.

Charlie

Kirsten, don't.

Kirsten

Only it's worse this time. 'Cause at least before it was just nature. Now there's someone to blame.

Paul

When we didn't get on that plane for Texas you asked me to be honest. Can't you be honest with me now?

Kirsten

I love you.

Paul

I know.

Kirsten

It's over.

Paul

I know.
