“The line ‘I prayed for you to die’ in The Notebook monologue may sound intense or negative at first, but in fact, its meaning isn’t bad — it’s deeply emotional and profoundly human.”
I think I'm going to die.
Do you want to die?
I think I'm going to die.
No way.
Not die.
I would have felt terribly if you died.
I just...
I kind of wanted you to not be alive anymore.
I couldn't bear the thought of us never being together.
Of your being with someone else.
Which is why...
I should go.
Oh god, no, I am so confused.
It may not seem like it, but I am.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get you out of my mind.
Not that long.
It's really great.
And I told him I'd marry him.
And I want to marry him, I really do.
I saw your picture in the paper and I knew I couldn't marry him until I stopped.
Because we never would.
And I still love Lorne.
And I'd never break off our marriage.
But basically, all I want to do is crawl under a rock and stay there for the rest of my life.
What do I do?
Leave before I make a total mess of things.
Do I stay the hell with everything?
And stay here and enjoy whatever time we've got left?
