Waiting to Exhale (1995)

Wendell Pierce: Michael

Quotes 

• Michael Davenport : [after the awkward sex scene]  I knew you were going to be somebody special. How do you feel?

  Robin Stokes : About what?

  Michael Davenport : Me... uh, this... uh, everything. Tell me what you want. What do you need because whatever it is, I'm gonna see that you have it.

  [He sits up] 

  Michael Davenport : What's your fantasy? I mean, what do you want from a man?

  Robin Stokes : Everything.

  Michael Davenport : Could you be more specific?

  Robin Stokes : [she sits up]  I want to have a house in Scottsdale.

  Michael Davenport : I own a house. In Scottsdale. What else?

  Robin Stokes : I want to get married. And I want to have kids- two, maybe three.

  Michael Davenport : And?

  Robin Stokes : I want to eat out two, maybe three times a week. I want to have babies. I want to go away for long weekends. I want to have a family. I want to be happy.

  Michael Davenport : You don't want much. I can give you that and a whole lot more.

  Robin Stokes : What about you, Michael? What do you want?

  Michael Davenport : Robin, I think I've found it.

  Robin Stokes : You don't even know me.

  Michael Davenport : No, it's about knowing me. I can give you everything you want, everything you need if you let me.

  Robin Stokes : [after a moment]  You can start by kissing me.

  [Michael is about to dive in and she stops him] 

  Robin Stokes : No, slowly... and gently.

  Robin Stokes : [Michael kisses her gently. Robin narrates]  And he did it right. And I felt like silk. And when I looked at him, I didn't care anymore that he wasn't Mr. Universe.

  [they start kissing passionately as she narrates] 

  Robin Stokes : I just felt young and sexy and beautiful. And when I closed my eyes and squeezed my pelvis real tight and my body exploded from the inside out, Michael felt just like the real thing. And everything was perfect. For once.
