Adventures of Robin
Hood 1938 Robin (Errol Flynn) climbed up the ivy on the steep Nottingham castle wall to the chamber window of his beautiful
Lady Marian (Olivia de Havilland) to express his gratitude for her daring rescue. She was surprised when he entered through the chamber window, high in the castle wall. She was embarrassed
that he had overheard her confession of love to her maid Bess. In an amorous conversation
of one-upmanship, the two bantered with each other. They shared a tender, innocent,
romantic scene on the open balcony. Equally in love with each other,
they embrace and kiss

Breakfast at
Tiffany's1961 Paul:
Driver, pull over here. (turns to Holly) You know What's wrong with you, Miss whoever-you-are? You're chicken.
You got no guts. You're afraid to say, "okay, life's a fact." People do fall in love. People do belong to each other because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit. A wild thing. You're terrified
somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded by Tulip, Texas or Somaliland. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up
running into yourself. Here, I've been carrying this thing around for months. (Paul hands Holly
a ring box) I don't want it anymore"
(Holly changes her mind) Jumps out the taxi to find the cat she
dumped into an alley. Holly "Here, cat! Cat!
Paul (behind her) Where's the cat?
Holly "I don't know. Cat! Cat! Cat! Cat! Oh, cat. [meow]
Here cat. Oh... (finds the cat, finds love. The kiss)
