Runaways are romantic. The girls are waiflike with dyed ratty hair and baggy pants. They usually own a stray dog of the mutt variety and drag it along by a rope, plopping down in front of storefronts to beg for money from passersby. They're a mess. It is likely they'll charm you, make you think you're their best friend and savior only to end up using you and then they'll disappear. That's why they're romantic. They're there and then they're gone. Romance is always about people appearing in a flash out of nothing or people who are there and then suddenly are not. A magic trick.Bett Williams
About This Quote
The movie “While You Were Sleeping” was about a young man who falls in love with a woman that he meets and then is reunited with in his dreams. This is the kind of relationship that we call “romance.” However, in real life, there is not such a thing as a perfect romance. The romantic relationship between Riley and Audrey in “While You Were Sleeping” is doomed from the start because of the age difference. These two people are likely to clash, they don’t have anything in common and they will soon grow apart. As for the rest of the people in the film, they are most likely just using Riley and Audrey to get their way or win someone over and then abandoning them when the job is done.
