After finding Jane Seymour, Christopher Reeve attends her theatrical performance. Here she changes script declaring her love for him. All are taken aback with the spontaneity. Theatre stage scene of Elise Mckenna to Richard Collier.
The bit that always has me in tears comes right after this. She goes backstage to have her photo taken, and as she poses for the picture, Richard comes backstage. She sees him and smiles, and the photo is snapped, and it's _that_ photo.
The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him, if he were really here? Forgive me, I have never known this feeling - I've lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, that I failed to recognize you? You - who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say . . . I cannot find the words. Except for these - I love you. Such would I say to him, if he were really here.
