Randall had been able to speak when Emily’s lips suddenly collided with his: In that moment, he wanted to try to apologize, having been seized by the sudden fear that he’d been too forward with her, and that he’d made her uncomfortable with this very abrupt and unplanned confession. He kicked himself for it, mentally chastising himself for dropping the ball yet again, and had been in the midst of wondering whether or not she would really want to see him again after tonight when those soft, plump lips landed on his.

In that moment, all time stopped. He became deaf to the world, blind to anything and everything around him, all of his attention solely focused on just how soft and warm and sweet Emily’s lips were as she kissed him, the soft violet scent of her perfume dancing in his nose, as well as the pounding of his heart in his chest, which seemed to drown out any and every other noise in the park. There was nothing but him and Emily in that moment, and it was wonderful.

When they parted, Randall was sure he looked positively stunned, standing there as still as a statue, eyes blown wide and at an almost-complete loss for words as he stared at her in wonder, the taste of her lipstick dancing on the tip of his tongue as he finally managed to say a single word. The only word that came to mind, in fact, as he tried to pull himself together after this surprise kiss:

“Wow...”

#((i don't offhand know where you can find the 1930 version but i hope you find it! it was lon chaney's last picture before he passed)) #((and so it's a really bittersweet treat to get to hear his voice for the one and only time on film; that's a huge deal!)) #((and the film is a straight-up remake; they completely reshot it! of course lon reprises his role as professor echo)) #((and does all the voices during echo's ventriloquist show as well as when he's playing 'granny o' grady'; no dubbing there)) #((and harry earles returns as tweedledee! but the rest of the cast is different; as well as the director)) #((and the ending is different as well so i think that makes it even more interesting; seeing those differences between the two!)) #((and yeah the speech bubbles are a little silly-but i guess it was their way of showing echo throwing his voice)) #((rather than using; say; a regular title card! it is silly though when you first see it! XD)) #((also: sorry this is so late!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Sweethearts of the Silver Screen
