This is great, I had forgotten that monologue. Thanks.

As Good As It Gets MELVIN Just let me talk. (gathers himself with uncertainty, then:) I'm the only one on the face of the earth who realizes that you're the greatest woman on earth. I'm the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing you do -- in every single thought you have... in how you are with Spencer -- Spence... (he has reached her) ... in how you say what you mean and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good... ON CAROL She stands on the precipice of being transported away from the logic which has been her lifeline. MELVIN I think most people miss that about you and I watch wondering how they can watch you bring them food and clear their dishes and never get that they have just met the greatest woman alive... And the fact that I get it makes me feel great... about me! (a real question filled with concern for her) You got a real good reason to walk out on that? That last question clearly a true question, not the least rhetorical -- she considers her answer, then: CAROL No! It's certainly not. No -- I don't think so. No. MELVIN (tentatively) I'm gonna grab you. (with conviction) I didn't mean it to be a question. I'm gonna grab you. He kisses her. An awkward bomb of a kiss. They separate. A tense beat. Then: MELVIN I know I can do better. They embrace again. He does indeed do much better. A first-class smooch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLIzjMtkqLc&feature=colike

That's a great scene in what amounts to the movie's Final Struggle. Thanks!
