20 Things You Didn't Know About High Fidelity

High Fidelity Laura

At the end of the movie, Rob makes an impulsive marriage proposal to Laura, who rather sarcastically accepts, declaring, "I do, I will." This might seem like a playful enough quip, but it's actually quoted from a most unexpected source - William Shakespeare himself.

To be more specific, it's taken from Henry IV, Part 1, when in Act II, Scene IV, Prince Henry says the very same affirmative to Falstaff. But unless you've brushed up on the Bard recently, you'd probably never have noticed it.
