In 1987 Nicolas Cage had a chance meeting with Patricia Arquette in Canter’s Deli, Los Angeles. The moon hit his eye like a big pizza pie, it was amore. He proposed on the spot, she told him “you’re crazy”. But he was serious. So he asked her to put him on a quest. At the end of that quest, if he succeeded in bringing her what she asked for, she would have to marry him. 

“When she gave me the list I knew even more that this was the right person for me, because it was so inventive and creative. She wanted a black orchid. She wanted J.D. Sallinger’s signature – and everybody who reads knows that he hardly ever signed anything. She wanted a wedding dress from this Lisu tribe in Northern Thailand and one of those Bob’s Big Boy statues. So I set out on my quest”.
