Lester last words - from the movie American Beauty
Lester: (voice over) I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die.
First of all, that one second isn’t a second at all, it stretches forever, like an ocean of time….for me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout Camp, watching falling stars…and yellow leaves, from the maple trees that lined our street…Or my grandmother’s hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper…and the first time I saw my cousin Tony’s brand new Firebird. And Janie…and Janie. (twice we see his memories of Jane, the second when she was younger, dressed as a princess) And…(with love) Carolyn. (we see a younger happier Carolyn shrieking happily in a carnival ride; we’ve seen a photo from this long-ago family activity before — he was looking at one right before his death) I guess I could be really pissed off about what happened to me…but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst…and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain. And I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life…(amused) You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry…(cut to black)
You will someday.
