How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Deadpool.
Quote #4
WADE: What if I just held on and never let go?
VANESSA: Just ride a b****'s back like Yoda on Luke.
WADE: Oh, Star Wars jokes.
VANESSA: Empire.
WADE: Jesus Christ. It's like I made you in a computer.
Being an origin story, Deadpool has to pack a lot of relationship development into a very short slice of narrative time. It does so through montage, but also through exchanges like this, and especially lines such as "It's like I made you in a computer" that clue us in to exactly what Wade values and loves about Vanessa.
Quote #5
WADE: Vanessa's already working on Plan A, B, all the way through Z. Me? I'm memorizing the details of her face, like it's the first time I'm seeing it. Or the last.
This is one of the first times we get the idea that Wade's going to leave Vanessa "for her own good" or to "spare her" from his cancer. We're slapping some heavy quotes around those ideas because, when it comes right down to it, Wade is saving Wade from pain just as much, if not more, as he is saving Vanessa.
Quote #6
VANESSA: …You're not going anywhere. Drink. Vanessa hands him a glass.
WADE: You're right. Cancer is only in my liver, lungs, prostate, and brain. All things I can live without. He drinks. It tastes terrible.
VANESSA: You belong here at home, surrounded by your Voltron and your Bernadette and your me.
Wade's glib attitude toward his diagnosis is frustrating to Vanessa. What she's saying here is that Wade belongs at home surrounded by the things he loves, and the woman who loves him right back.
