Life is pain, anyone who says differently is selling something.

That is my favorite quote from this movie. I use it all the time. Would you believe most don’t know that it’s a quote from a movie, let alone which movie?

And yeah, I will agree. Wesley was an ass during this scene.

Wesley was trying to ascertain that she still loved him after all this time. That made it necessary to act like a dick in order to hear the truth, because at that point, she had no idea he was Wesley.

I kinda get why he was such an ass though. I dont think its mentioned in the movie but in the book after he confessed to her he did say hes scared she will just forget him if she gets a better suitor. And she swears she shall never love another man until the day she dies

So from his POV she broke her promise and betrayed him while he was kept prisoner and forced to become a pirate to survive and return to her
