So.. I am in the same situation as Charlie is, I could be murdered if I go near her, it is serious business, and alot of people told me to run for my life, but I wouldn't, because I am deeply in love it's not even questionable..
So what would you do?
You're missing a tiny detail there. Which is that the spirit of his recently departed mother told him to go to "Bucharest". Which would imply that the rules of normal reasoning probably don't apply, and that everything that's happening to him could be attributed to "destiny", in his mind.
That's why her telling him later that she actually meant "Budapest" brings to a peak what's been a running gag throughout the film anyway.
