Romantic comedy written and directed by James C. Strouse. Love Again (2023) follows Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), who in trying to deal with the loss of her fiancé, sends a series of romantic texts to his old cell phone number, not realizing the number was reassigned to journalist Rob Burns’s (Sam Heughan) new work phone. As Rob is captivated by the honesty in the beautifully confessional texts, when he’s assigned to write a profile of megastar Celine Dion, he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira in person, and win her heart.

Best Quotes


 

Rob Burns: Céline Dion? Like, “My Heart Still Goes On”, that Céline Dion?
Richard Hughes: Too commercial for you, is it, huh? If you kept up with what the kids were saying, you’d know we were in the middle of a Célinaissance.


 

Richard Hughes: [to Rob] Ever since Elizabeth dropped you like a stone just days before your wedding, well, your work has lacked heart. Céline Dion is all about heart. Okay? People adore her. I adore her. So get onboard, or I’ll find someone who will.


 

Suzy Ray: Winky smiley. That’s like way more rrr, like meaningful than like a regular smiley.
Mira Ray: You know what’s crazy, Suzy? Our parents worked their a**es off to send us to college, and here we are, decoding the winky in a smiley.


 

Mohsen: [to Mira] Just because she’s gone doesn’t mean I can’t still tell her about my feelings. The ice, it thickens. Someday, it’ll support your weight. I promise.

 

'If the work is good, it's timeless.' - Céline Dion (Love Again) Click To Tweet

 

Rob Burns: I told you, I’m not looking to date right now.
Lisa Scott: Why not? You’re like peaking physically. You don’t want to be out there when you’re on the decline.


 

Rob Burns: Love isn’t real. It’s just a bunch of pheromones that wear off. Then you get your heart ripped out, covered in bleach, stomped on, set on fire in front of your friends, and your family.


 

Suzy Ray: Okay. This, I don’t know, feels a little unhealthy, maybe?
Mira Ray: I mean, what’s wrong with it? I’m just wearing my dead boyfriend’s shirt and the engagement ring he never got to give me.


 

Mira Ray: [text] I begin every day thinking of you, arm stretched over the empty space on the bed where you should be sleeping beside me.

 

'Time moves so slow when your heart's not into what you're doing.' - Mira Ray (Love Again) Click To Tweet

 

Gina Valentine: Is she using the leaf to blot her tears?
Mira Ray: Well, it would be weird to give her a tissue.
Gina Valentine: Look, Mira, we make children’s books here. Children. Remember them?
Little people who like to look at bright pictures and laugh.
Mira Ray: Well, maybe it’s better to prepare them. That life will inevitably crush their hopes and dreams.


 

Lisa Scott: [after Rob thinks it’s her sending the texts] Oh, my God. Gross. Rob, you could be like my dad.
Rob Burns: I’m like thirty-five. I’m thirty-five. Not much older than you are.


 

Rob Burns: Who is sending me these texts?
Lisa Scott: Someone’s smishing you. Phishing, but by text. First, they lure you in, then they ask for your credit card number.


 

Male Journalist: Céline, you’re arguably more popular today than when you started. How do you think you’ve managed to stay relevant for so long?
Céline Dion: What a question. Do you ever stop and ask yourself why people continue to read your work as a middle-aged male journalist? Maybe it’s because if the work is good, it’s timeless.


 

Rob Burns: Well, do you really believe in all these things you sing?
Céline Dion: You obviously know nothing about it.
Rob Burns: What?
Céline Dion: Love.

Mira Ray: [referring to the dating app] Why is every guy shirtless?


 

Billy Brooks: Know what? I don’t think it sounds like a scammer at all.

Billy Brooks: [after he sees the text Mira sent about going to a bar] You’re going now? Why?
Rob Burns: You’re always telling me to get back out there.
Billy Brooks: Yeah. No, this is true. But these are texts from a literal stranger.
Rob Burns: Yeah, but they speak to me.
Billy Brooks: They speak to you? No. What are you doing, Rob? You sound like an insane person right now.


 

Suzy Ray: This guy tonight doesn’t have to be your soulmate. In fact, you don’t really have to like him. If the body’s good, you go in there, you get the D.
Mira Ray: There’s not going to be any getting of any D.
Suzy Ray: Trust me, you need the D.
Mira Ray: You make it sound like I have a vitamin deficiency.
Suzy Ray: Yeah, you kind of do. You have a vitamin D deficiency.

Billy Brooks: Rob, check out that guy over there. Don’t look, but look. Yeah?
Rob Burns: What do you mean?
Billy Brooks: Maybe he is your texter?
Rob Burns: I thought you said they were from some psycho granny.
Billy Brooks: Or a sensitive silver fox? He has super kind eyes.
Rob Burns: Would you like to go talk to him?
Billy Brooks: Why would you insult me like that, Rob? I’m here for you, buddy. Nobody else.


 

Joel: Everyone thinks personal training is all about the body. But you can’t do four hundred weighted squats without a brain.
Mira Ray: Well, I mean, you really can’t do anything without a brain.


 

Bartender: Two Ketel One martinis. Compliments of the gentleman over there.
Billy Brooks: Oh.
Rob Burns: Would you just go talk to him already?
Billy Brooks: Rob, stop! I will be two minutes.


 

Mira Ray: Would you rather live your entire life with silent but uncontrollable gas, or loud, uncontrollable sneezes?
Joel: Neither.
Mira Ray: Just pick one. Or you get both.


 

Billy Brooks: [to Rob] Let’s just check into the numbers and make sure this guy is not your texter. And it is not. Praise be, because we are totally going to smash later.

Mira Ray: [text] I think my date might have just gone to the bathroom to do pushups.


 

Billy Brooks: You know what, Rob? This night is not a total loss, you know? Because I’m going to get laid.


 

Mira Ray: Are you looking for another date right now?
Joel: Yeah. Yeah. Because you don’t want to have sex, and I have to burn off these calories. Those drinks had a lot of carbs.
Mira Ray: You know what? Get out. Get out. Now, now, now. Take a f***ing run. It’ll burn off those carbs!


 

Céline Dion: [to Rob] Strange. You have very manly hands. And yet, you act like a little boy.

Rob Burns: I thought so. A while back. But it didn’t work out.
Céline Dion: And you’ve been stuck ever since?
Rob Burns: How did you know that?
Céline Dion: Because you have the presence of a pair of used underwear.


 

Rob Burns: I think I might have feelings for someone I’ve never met.
Céline Dion: You are more interesting than you look.


 

Rob Burns: I feel like I got to know her through these texts. You know, maybe I’m just fooling myself.
Céline Dion: These texts you’re receiving are saying something. Things like this don’t just happen. You need to pursue this.

 

'Open yourself up to the universe and it'll come rushing in.' - Rob Burns (Love Again) Click To Tweet

 

Rob Burns: You don’t think it’s crazy to fall for someone like this?
Céline Dion: Oh, it might be crazy. But love doesn’t always follow the rules.


 

Céline Dion: Love has a plan for each and every one of us. I think these texts are part of the plan for you.


 

Céline Dion: Love takes courage! Open yourself to the universe, and it’ll come rushing in, Rob Burns.

Lisa Scott: Orpheus travels to Hades to get back his dead wife. And he’s given permission to return to Earth with her, under the condition that he not look at her face until they’re out of Hades.
Billy Brooks: Why?
Lisa Scott: I don’t know. Because the gods are d**ks.


 

Billy Brooks: [referring to the opera] How do you know if she’s even going?
Lisa Scott: And if she does, you still won’t know when.
Rob Burns: I’ll just keep going until she shows up.
Billy Brooks: You’ll just keep going? That is so crazy.
Rob Burns: Yeah. Yeah, but like she said, love makes fools of everyone.

Rob Burns: I guess not.

Rob Burns: Hey, I was wondering, do you eat?
Mira Ray: [to Suzy] He just asked me if I eat.

Rob Burns: I feel like you can learn more by playing ten minutes of basketball with someone than you can talking to them for a whole hour. How they work with other people. Face opposition. And not to sound too grandiose or anything, but kind of feel the game represents life itself. All these people are from different places, gathered to play the same game. Different cultures, races. It doesn’t matter where you’re from. Yeah, it’s what makes this country, this city, so beautiful.


 

Suzy Ray: Soul Cycle is a cult.


 

Céline Dion: You’ve talked to the unknown texter?

Céline Dion: [over phone] Hi. this is Céline Dion.
Mira Ray: Sure. And I’m Mariah Carey.
Céline Dion: [singing] Don’t give up on this, girl. Love comes to those who believe it, and this is really me. Oh, yes. It is.


 

Mira Ray: So you read all my texts to John? Lied to my face this whole time. Why? Because you’re a creep, or just some a**hole?
Rob Burns: Neither. Those are both terrible choices.


 

Rob Burns: Mira, my feelings for you are so real.
Mira Ray: You took John away from me.
Rob Burns: I didn’t take him away from you. He’s gone. John is gone.


 

Suzy Ray: Who’s your friend?
Mohsen: That’s Jane. I’ve known her a long time.
Suzy Ray: Long time?
Mohsen: Two days.


 

Mohsen: When the last person left the other night, I sat down. I poured Roxy and me two shots. I drank them both, as I always do. Then I lit a candle, and I said to Roxy, “I will always be your husband. But what I’m really missing, like in my core, is sharing a joke with someone when I’m feeling down in the mouth.” And dead people, not so funny.


 

Rob Burns: What should I have said? “Excuse me, I’d like to get to know you, but I keep getting these text messages you write your dead boyfriend. I would have said something earlier, but I didn’t want to take away the possibility for you to stay in contact with him. I know this is the weirdest way to get to know someone, and I understand if you just want to walk away. But I didn’t want to start off by telling you a lie.”
Billy Brooks: Yeah. Exactly.
Rob Burns: S**t. It might have actually worked.


 

Rob Burns: [from his article] I knew love was a myth. A shared delusion between two people that could end as soon as someone changed their mind. Then I got your texts. Slowly, I began to realize Céline was right. I couldn’t hear the music. Because my heart had given up on love.


 

Rob Burns: [from his article] I know you didn’t mean to text me your innermost thoughts, and feelings, but you did. And I made a big mistake by not telling you that right away. And I do not deserve a second chance. But thanks to you, I can hear the music again.


 

Rob Burns: [from his article] I know love is real because I’ve fallen in love with you. And if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I promise I’ll do everything I can to earn your trust back. Because a new day has come for me, Mira. Where it was dark, now it’s light. Where there was pain, now there’s joy. Where there was weakness, I found my strength. And I’m not afraid to tell the world, I’ve been touched by an angel with love.


 

Suzy Ray: [reading Rob’s article to Mira] “Please give this another chance. Please give me another chance.”


 

Mira Ray: [referring to René] Were you mad when he lied?
Céline Dion: Of course I was mad. But we worked through it. Because that’s what you do when you’re in love. You work through things.


 

Céline Dion: Look, Mira. I don’t really care whether you and Rob get together.
Mira Ray: You don’t?
Céline Dion: No. My only concern is you. Now, how’s my poster coming along?
Mira Ray: I’m working on it.


 

Richard Hughes: Well, you got to win her back now. Make for a hell of a follow-up piece. You’ve got your heart back, Rob. Well done.
Rob Burns: Thank you, boss.
Richard Hughes: Now get out!


 

John: Of course, I didn’t realize that’d be the last text I ever send you.
Mira Ray: What would you have sent?
John: I don’t know. “I love you. Forever.” Or maybe a gif from The Notebook. A gif from The Notebook.


 

Mira Ray: What am I supposed to do now, John?
John: I think, you’re supposed to just keep living your life.
Mira Ray: It’s easy for you to say. You’re dead.
John: That’s right. So, what are you doing still talking to me?
Mira Ray: I miss you so much.
John: I miss you. But you know I want you to fly, right?


 

Rob Burns: It looks like she’s finally moving on. And I’m happy for her.
Suzy Ray: I’m sorry, dude. Sometimes people just aren’t in the same place, you know?


 

Mira Ray: [to Rob] I need the full truth from you at all times. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s painful. Especially if it’s messy and painful. Because that’s life, you know? And if we can’t get through it together, then what’s the point, right?


 

Mira Ray: I’ll always love John.
Rob Burns: I know.
Mira Ray: I’ll always miss John.
Rob Burns: I know.
Mira Ray: And I don’t know how this grief will change over time, but it’s always going to be a part of me.


 

Mira Ray: You’re going to have to learn how to cook because I can’t.
Rob Burns: I’ll sign up for lessons right away.
Mira Ray: And Céline said you need to do the dishes.
Rob Burns: Of course. Anything Céline says. Anything more?
Mira Ray: Yes. Kiss me.
Rob Burns: Okay.


 

Rob Burns: [mid-credits lines] Would you rather own ten cats, or a parrot that sits on your head for twenty-two hours a day?
Céline Dion: Oh. I’d go for the parrot.
Rob Burns: Right answer.
