There is a moment, in Wes Anderson's Hotel Chevalier when Natalie Portman says, "Whatever happens in the end, I don't wanna lose you as my friend." and Jason Schwartzman replies, "I promise, I will never be your friend. No matter what. Ever." 

And usually I relate most with Jason's character, of being left and still loving someone even though he/she does not deserve it, and hating myself because of it.

But today I am Natalie Portman, wanting to leave, wanting Martha still to love me. Wanting to have my cake and eat it too.

I'm afraid after cutting all the ties off, that I'm going to feel like I made a mistake. But I'm also sure that I will feel free. I don't know, in the end, if I like "free". But I know that I like movement.

Natalie Portman: I love you. I never hurt you on purpose.
Jason Schwartzman: I don't care.
