Quotes / "Dear John" Letter

Go To

"Dear Bruce,

I need to be honest and clear. I'm going to marry Harvey Dent. I love him, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. When I told you that if Gotham no longer needed Batman we could be together, I meant it. But now I'm sure the day won't come when *you* no longer need Batman. I hope it does, and if it does, I will be there but as your friend. I'm sorry to let you down. If you lose your faith in me, please keep your faith in people.

Love, now and always, Rachel."
Rachel Dawes to Bruce Wayne, The Dark Knight

"My Dearest Prince,

Forgive me. I have received word from my fiancé in Romania. I am en route to join him. We are to be married. I will never see you again.

Mina."
Mina Murray to Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula

Captain Parkin: Blimey! Listen to this! "I have met a smashing American pilot and he is having parcels of cigarettes and food sent to you".
Dumdum: That's nice. Who's it from?
Captain Parkin: My girlfriend! The two-timing little bitch!

Jenkins: "Dear Vic, just to tell you... I'm in trouble because of my lover. Rosie".
Dr. Sparrow: Can I have a look? (Beat) Jenkins, can't you read? She says, "I'm in trouble because of my liver".

Well, Bill,
I doubt you'd ever find this note cause you were too scared to ever make it to this part of town. But if for some reason you did, I want you to know I hated your guts. I grew tired of this shitty town and your set-in-your-ways attitude. I wanted more from life than this and you could never get that.

And that stupid battery you kept moaning about — I got it. But I guess you were right. Trying to leave this town will kill me. Still better than spending another day with you.

Good Luck,
Frank

Goodbye, Player

My love for you, even now still burns within me but I see now that it burns all the happiness I'll ever have.
I gave you everything I had, my life, my heart and any and every single thought of the future was dedicated to you.
I didn't need you to be perfect or passionate...
I only need you to care enough to treat me like how a person should be treated.
But it's clear to me now that not only do you not love me, but you never did.
If you only didn't love me you would simply leave me be.
But you went out of your way to ridicule me, hurt me... It truly makes me sick.
Even now all I have is you...and part of me still loves you.
But I don't have the strength to do this anymore.
So this is farewell. May we never meet again.

Monika

Lola: Well, why was he so upset?
Bugs: Because of the "Dear John" letter.
Lola: John? Okay, I thought his name was Edmund.
Bugs: No, it's just called a "Dear John" letter when someone ends the relationship with a note instead of face-to-face.
