I just watched the movie last night. Here's Ben Affleck's speech:

'It's like you go to the beach. You go down to the water. It's a little cold. You're not sure if you want to go in. There's a pretty girl standing next to you. She doesn't want to go in either. She sees you. And you know, if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember her. Not everyday, every week. She comes back to you. It's the memory of another life you could've had. Today is that girl.'

Hope this is what you wanted.

But what does it mean?

Money is society's way of telling you 'You could do better!'

reply

It means that sometimes a situation comes along where you can make a decision that would really change your life completely. And if you dont take advantage of that decision then later on in life you will think back to that day and wonder about the life you might have had instead........

......deep.......well deep.

reply

Yeah, its deep like the previous poster said. It means that one mistake you make in your life might be one you live with forever.

It had extreme meaning to me, brought moisture to my occular devices....

reply

I do not think you should think about it as mistakes. The thing is that these events are crossroads in our lives, and once you choose a path you can't go back. But you keep remembering that moment that you choose the path and trie ro think how your live migth have been if you choose an other path.

Was this the speech in the first part of the movie during the children's benefit which was cross cut with Samuel L. Jackson's champagne speech?

reply

Yeah. It's a great speech.

The music, atmosphere, rain and the mood really made this speech powerful. It's on YouTube and I can relate to it.
