"Kiss me. Let me breathe my last breath into your mouth."
— Valeria, Conan the Barbarian (1982)
"Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time."
— Ilsa, Casablanca
From out of nowhere Falina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Falina, good-bye.
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Falina, good-bye.
—Marty Robbins, "El Paso"
