Beyond the Sea Quotes

A swooning study of "Mack the Knife" singer Bobby Darin (Spacey) specifically, and his relationship with his wife Sandra Dee (Bosworth).

Bobby Darin: It's OK, I'm not gonna hurt you. Watch. My momma used to tell me a story when I was a kid that in the Middle Ages, one of the knights in King Arthur's court, he laid down his sword between himself and Guinevere, and he promised that he would never cross over to the other side.
Sandra Dee: Really?
Bobby Darin: I am laying down this sword between us. That's my side of the bed, and that's yours, and I will never cross over. Ever. I don't care if we don't touch for a thousand nights. Only you can cross over to my side. Only you.

Steve Blauner: [interrupting a tender moment] Bobby! Whoa, sorry. But I was right about the war picture. Get your speech ready 'cause as soon as this tour is over, you're going to the Oscars, pal. You just got nominated.

Bobby Darin: Well, honey, it's an act. What do you expect me to do, sing different songs every night?
Sandra Dee: Why not? I don't the same movies every time.
Bobby Darin: Well, actually, you do. Sweet little innocent Sandy.
Sandra Dee: Uh, excuse me. Excuse me, but I think I know what people want in the movies nowadays, okay? You may be the expert in music, but I... *I* have had years of movie experience.
Bobby Darin: Not bad, San. Would have been even better if you'd said it without the slur in your voice.
Bobby Darin: No matter what happens, baby, you'll always be Sandra Dee.
