The Age of Adaline

Adaline Bowman:
Tell me something I can hold on to forever and never let go.

Ellis Jones:
Let go.

Adaline Bowman:
[to her dog] Now I made you some salmon. This no eating nonsense just won't do if you're going to be a proper farm dog.

Flemming:
Remember that? 1954, I was a junior in college. That's the last photo I have of you.

Adaline Bowman:
Well, you've seen one, you've seen 'em all.

New Year's Eve Stranger:
Isn't there some sort of tradition, if you're alone on New Year's Eve, that you're supposed to kiss a stranger?

Adaline Bowman:
[laughs]

New Year's Eve Stranger:
Dammit, you've heard it before?

Adaline Bowman:
Just once, from a young Bing Crosby.

New Year's Eve Stranger:
[looks incredulous]

Adaline Bowman:
...type. Happy New Year.

Adaline Bowman:
I am too old for this.

Adaline Bowman:
I see you already forgot our little talk about sodium.

Flemming:
No, I am simply choosing to ignore it.

Ellis Jones:
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some donating.

Ellis Jones:
[as Adaline drives them across the Golden Gate Bridge] Y'know, you rarely see a Saab in the Daytona 500. There's a reason for that. You might want to consider an occasional tap on that square pedal by your foot?

Adaline Bowman:
[smirks as she accelerates] I don't know what you're talking about.

[first lines]

Narrator:
On December 31, 2014, a taxicab traveled through San Francisco, from Chinatown to Marin. The car carried a single passenger: a woman, her birth name Adaline Bowman, current alias Jennifer Larson. This is the first and last chapter of her story.

William Jones:
Do you love her?.

Ellis Jones:
Yes, i am.

William Jones:
How do you know?.

Ellis Jones:
Dad, I didn't kn...

William Jones:
This is a simple quest, how do you know?.

Ellis Jones:
Everything is not make sense without her.

Adaline Bowman:
The civic archives, please.

Cab Driver:
May take a while, Market is jammed.

Adaline Bowman:
Okay then, please take California to Hyde.

Cab Driver:
There's construction on Hyde.

Adaline Bowman:
Why don't you stay on this, take this to Gough, Gough to Bush, Bush to Polk, Polk to Grove, and then just leave me on the corner of Market.

Cab Driver:
[turns to look at Adaline] You want my job?

Adaline Bowman:
[smirks] You never know.

[Adaline is on an elevator. As the door shuts, Ellis rushes up and slams his hand in to stop it]

Adaline Bowman:
Oh!

Ellis Jones:
[shakes hand in pain and gets in] Oh well. That'll teach me not to put my hand where it doesn't belong.

Adaline Bowman:
Something tells me it won't.

Ellis Jones:
I'd like for you to accept the books on behalf of the library.

Adaline Bowman:
Oh no no. I can't do that.

Ellis Jones:
Yes you can!

Adaline Bowman:
No, I don't want my photo taken.

Ellis Jones:
Don't worry, you look stunning.

Adaline Bowman:
It's not about vanity. I just don't like people taking my photograph.

Ellis Jones:
You know they have a saying in Italy. "Anni, amori, e bicchieri di vino, no che contato mai."

Adaline Bowman:
Years, lovers... wine cups?

Ellis Jones:
Years, lovers, and glasses of wine. These are things that should never be counted.

Adaline Bowman:
You have no idea.

Ellis Jones:
You can tell me anything you want and I'll believe it. I know almost nothing about you.

Adaline Bowman:
It's better this way.

Ellis Jones:
No. It's not.

Adaline Bowman:
Why're you doing this?

Tony:
Come again?

Adaline Bowman:
You're a smart kid. Forgery is a felony. 250 thousand dollar fine, six years in jail.

Tony:
Sh*t, you're a cop?

Adaline Bowman:
[snorts] No, I'm about as far from law enforcement as you can get. I just hate to see wasted potential, Jeff.

Tony:
Tony, it's Tony.

Adaline Bowman:
The autographed baseballs in your bedroom. Made out to Jeff. Don't get sloppy. It's the little things that trip you up.

Adaline Bowman:
I don't think I'll ever understand why so few people care about history.

Adaline Bowman:
There you go again, putting your hand in places it doesn't belong.

Narrator:
As the years passed, Adaline credited her unchanging appearance to a combination of a healthy diet, exercise, heredity, and good luck.

Kikki Jones:
[to Ellis] So this is the new one, huh? [to Adaline] Have you done him yet?

Adaline Bowman:
[pause] Yes, ten minutes ago, right where you're sitting.

William Jones:
Hey, everybody. I don't want to ruin the party, but I want to say something. First of all, thanks for being here. Kathy and I, we're really grateful that you could be here. It means a lot to us that you would be here to help us celebrate the first... First 40 years of our marriage.

William Jones:
[crowd laughing]

William Jones:
When I first met this lovely lady, back in the olden days, I had... I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do in my job, but I didn't really know what I wanted to be as a man, when I grew up. If I ever grew up.

William Jones:
[Kathy chuckles]

William Jones:
But the commitment that she made, [voice breaking] to our marriage and our family, to me, the quality of her love led me to understand that I could have no greater ambition in life than to be the best possible husband I could be for her. And I'm still working on it.

William Jones:
[crowd laughing]

William Jones:
So, here's to Kathy, love of my life, mate of my soul, mother of my lovely children. To Kathy.

William Jones:
[crowd applauding]
