Will Keane(理查·基尔 Richard Gere 饰)是纽约的钻石王老五,年近50的他极具男人魅力,用微笑和交友令自己的财富一直翻倍,而他和城中女人的关系更是错综复杂。他习惯每天带不同的女人都自己的饭店吃饭、然后睡觉、翌日分手,周而复始。直到他遇到了19岁的女孩儿Charlotte(薇诺娜·瑞德 Winona Ryder 饰),她的年轻活泼、天真才气令他倾倒。
她在他的饭店举办20岁生日会,他赠她最好的洋酒;知道她最爱设计帽子,便请她替与自己出席慈善晚会的女伴设计一个特别的帽子,到了当晚却携她出席;他们很快发生关系,他如同往常一样,想在翌日跟她摊牌,没想到她直接说她知道这个结果,但他不用担心她会纠缠他,因为她只剩下一年的生命。
患有先天性心脏病的Charlotte自幼便失去了父母,跟随着酗酒的祖母长大,一直孤独,直到遇见了Will;而当年Will曾和Charlotte的母亲相爱,他发现自己已经爱上了Charlotte,并且害怕失去她。面对所剩无几的时间,他们该怎么面对爱情和人生?
Charlotte: Okay, bitch, I’m ready.
Will: Whoa, not me. What do you say, we start with “Good morning”?
Charlotte: Oh, my God, I’m so sorry. Wait, who is this?
Will: Guess.
Charlotte: Ummm, you?
Will: Ok, who did you think it was?
Charlotte: Um, my friend Simon actually. He always calls me the morning after to kind of you know, dish. Umm, do you want to talk to my grandmother?
Will: No, no, no, I was calling you.
Charlotte: You were?
Will: Well, I got this little problem and I thought maybe you could help me out. I got a... I got a benefit coming up, you know one of those black-tie, worthy cause, lousy food kind of things...
Charlotte: Wow!
Will: And I was wondering... I’d like you to make a hat for me. Actually, not for me, it’s for my date, I don’t wear hats, except to Yankee games.
Charlotte: Okay, wow.
Will: Now the problem is that I don’t know her hat size, you see. And I don’t want to ask her because it’s a surprise.
Charlotte: Was it that woman you were with at the bar last night?
Will: No.
Charlotte: Cause she had an abnormally small head.
Will: Well, that might account for the limited conversation.
Charlotte: You know I could always put in a somewhat adjustable band.
Will: That’s perfect! Wonderful.
Charlotte: Seriously, it is kind of risky doing it this way.
Will: No, c’mon, you can do it, you can do it. Life rewards the courageous few. You can do this.
Charlotte: Well, can you give me a point of inspiration?
Will: Like what?
Charlotte: Oh, you know, like an image, this hat is like...
Will: Like...the line of a woman’s hip.
Charlotte: Okay.
Will: When can I have it?
Charlotte: Umm, let’s say two weeks.
Will: Great! Great, I’ll give you till Thursday four o’clock.
Charlotte: OK, wow.
Will: And one other thing, you say“wow”an awful lot.
Charlotte: I know.
Will: Well, you’re a grown-up now. When’s that going to stop?
Charlotte: Uh, soon.
Will: I’ll see you Thursday.
Charlotte: Okay, bye.
Will: Bye.
莎洛特:好了,狗娘养的,我准备好了。
威尔:哇,可不是我。我们说什么,开始先说“早上好”?
莎洛特:噢,天哪,对不起。等等,你是谁?
威尔:猜猜看。
莎洛特:噢,是你?
威尔:是,你以为是谁?
莎洛特:呃,我以为是我朋友西蒙。他总是在早上打电话给我,你知道,找我闲聊。哦,你要和我外婆说话吗?
威尔:不,不,不,我是找你的。
莎洛特:真的?
威尔:啊,我有个小问题,我想也许你可以帮我。我要去……我要去出席一个慈善会,你知道就是那种打黑领带、有名人参加,食物很腻味的聚会……
莎洛特:哇!
威尔:我在想……让你给我做顶帽子。事实上,不是为我,是为我的舞伴,我从不戴帽子,除了去看扬基队的垒球比赛。
莎洛特:好的,哇!
威尔:现在问题是我不知道她要戴多大的帽子,你知道,我不想去问她,想给她个惊喜。
莎洛特:是那个昨晚在吧里和你在一起的那个女人吗?
威尔:不是。
莎洛特:因为她的头真是太小了。
威尔:噢,也许这就是今天这段有限的对话的原因。
莎洛特:你知道我可以在帽子里放一条可调整的带子。
威尔:那太好了!真棒!
莎洛特:说真的,这样做挺冒险的。
威尔:不,好了,你可以做到。生活总是嘉奖少数有勇气的人。你可以做到。
莎洛特:噢,你可不可以给我一点灵感启发?
威尔:哪方面?
莎洛特:噢,你知道,外形方面,这帽子要像……
威尔:像……女人臀部的曲线。
莎洛特:好的。
威尔:我什么时候能拿到?
莎洛特:嗯,我看两星期后。
威尔:好!好,我给你的时间到星期四四点钟。
莎洛特:好,哇!
威尔:另一件事情,你的“哇”说得太多了。
莎洛特:我知道。
威尔:噢,你现在长大成人了。 什么时候才能不说那个字?
莎洛特:快了吧。
威尔:那么星期四见。
莎洛特:好的,再见。
威尔:再见。
