Quote #10
[Amélie is baking bread, but is out of yeast. She fantasizes about Nino going to get some for her.]
Amélie may be a romantic, but she's also practical. Part of being by yourself means that you have to do everything for yourself. Here she realizes it would be nice to have a partner around to do little errands for her, not because she would make him, but because he loves her, and it's a sweet gesture. She gets really sad when she realizes this isn't the case, because she's made her own life a lonely one.
