You have to have a little faith in people.

This is the last scene in Woody Allen's "Manhattan".  I don't particularly care for the movie, but this scene has always made me cry. It's that moment when you are both drifting apart from each other and at least one person feels it, while the other one is blindly optimistic. And sometimes that is enough for the both of you to stop the drifting. And sometimes it's not.

Tracy: I'll be back in six months.

Isaac Davis: Six months are you kidding? Six months you're gonna go for?

Tracy: We've gone this long, well what's six months if we still love each other?

Isaac Davis: Hey, don't be so mature, okay? I mean, six months is a long time! Six months, you know you're gonna be, you'll be in, in, in, in the th - working in a theater there, you'll be with actors and directors, you kno w you're, you know, you go to rehearsal, and you, you hang out with those people, you have lunch a lot, and, and, before you even know it attachments form and, and, you know, I mean, you, you don't want to be get into that kind a, I mean, you, you'll change.

Isaac Davis: Ye, yeah of course I do, you know, but you - you know, you, I mean you, I, I just don't want - that thing about you that I like to change.

Tracy: I've got to make a plane.

Isaac Davis: C'mon, you don't - c'mon. You don't, you don't have to - go.

Tracy: Why couldn't you have brought this up last week? Six months isn't so long. Not everybody gets corrupted. You have to have a little faith in people.
