"Well,maybe I can repay you by naming our first child after you." "Oh,yes,do!" "Even if it's a boy." "I think "regina" is a masculine name in some latino cultures." "Mom,I'm not in love with him,okay?" "It's just been three dates and so flowers." "I know,but just don't put off the wedding." "I mean,your aunt phoebe will not be happy" "If she dies before seeing you married," "And I think those pig vows only last about 13 years."

"I think it means your bra should match your panties,but I could." "I could be wrong." "Oh." "Okay." "Well,let's see what we got." "Oh,darn,these are all still wet." "And I don't wanna go all the way to todd's for underwear." "Mom,did-Did you happen to put any of my ce lingerie up in my room today?" "Um,no,but you can borrow some of mine."

"I hope this isn't hard for you to hear." "Not if it isn't hard for you to hear that you're holding my girlfriend's panties." "But they're in my drawer." "Well,you know,chloe's over a lot," "And I thought it'd be easier if she had her own drawer." "Oh,yeah,right."

"I love kevin,and you can't stop me." " Thanks,sweetie." " You're welcome." "It is just biology." "You have sex." "Your face gets flushed." "You feel all warm and wonderful." "It seems like love," "But it's actually nature's way of telling you to stick your panties in your purse and run." "And did you just hand your secretary a cup of coffee?" "Uh-Huh." "Sammy,I'm gonna sneak out a little early." "The boots I wanted just went on sale." "Oh,yeah." "Sure,trace." "Have fun."

" Yeah." "I mean,only if it's okay with you." "Yeah,yeah,I guess I just hadn't thought of it." "Oh,well,it's a good thing I thought of it for you." "That's why we make such a good team."

"What is this?" "I'm making a card for kevin with pictures of us together." "I didn't actually have any pictures of us actually together," "But I had some pictures of me," "And then I cut his head out of some of his business cards." "That's why his expression's always the same." "No." " What?" " Stop." "Just let him go." "Do not try and get him back." "I'm not trying to get him back!"

"Todd loved you,hmm?" "Todd!" "Todd!" "It might interest you to know" "This isn't even close to the most embarrassing thing I've seen you do on this sidewalk." "Todd!" "May I ask why you're doing this?" "I want todd." "The "who" is no longer a secret to anyone on this side of the lake." "I was wondering why." "'Cause I need to know if he really loved me." "Okay?" "Todd!" "Come on." "Come on,come on." "Come on." "Todd!" "Let's get some coffee in you." "Okay." "Oh,good news,frank." "I don't have a drinking problem anymore." "Gee!" "Whoopsie daisy." "No,now it's mine." "Oh,drinking is like love." "It starts out okay." "The singing and laughing part is real fun," "Then it just takes this ugly turn around the crying and the yelling part." "I would tell you about the throwing up part," "But I don't wanna ruin the surprise." "That is it." "I am never falling in love again." "Of course you will," "And it may hurt," "But you will survive." "Oh,my god." "You speak the words of gloria." "My wife and I karaoke." "She does an excellent devo." "You are so lucky." "You have a wife." "I'll bet you she has a drawer." "She has all the drawers." "Yeah,but she loves you." "Someone loves you." "How great is that?" "Someone once said," ""The joy in life "is not in hearing the words 'I love you,'" "But in being lucky enough to say them." "That's beautiful." " Who said that?" " The lead character in my screenplay." "It happens just before the shark gets him." "And he was right." "Some people never do let themselves express their love." "How can you not express it,you know?" "Like,who can't express love?" "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Hey,sam." " Uh-Huh?" " Are we living together?" "Don't be an idiot." "Well,I mean,I'm here all the time." "I've got a drawer." "I've got a third of the closet." "No,we are not living together," "Because that would imply that you would be paying half of the mortgage," "And I don't see that happening." "Yeah,I don't either." "But I can still hang out here,right?" "You know,eat what's in the fridge," "Sleep in your bed every night?" "If you stopped,I'd kill you." "I love you,too." "Did I not say it to todd?" "Maybe I didn'T." "Maybe I never even told him that I loved him." "Todd!" "What?" "What's going on?" "Did I ever tell you that I loved you?" "I'm sorry?" " Did I?" " Out loud?" "No." "Well,you scratched it in the trunk of my car once." "It was okay." "It was an old car." " Well,I did." " What?" "I loved you," "And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before,okay?" "But I'm pretty sure that I did." "I mean,then." "Not now.,It was before." "All right,let's just pretend like it's a long time ago,okay?" "Just... ready?" "I love you." "Then,'cause not now." "F.Y.I" "Okay,then." "You bet." "Okay." "Todd." "I love you." "Shut up,russ." "Well,I expressed it." "I expressed the hell out of it." "It went well,then." "Yeah." "Yeah." "In fact,from now on," "I'm only gonna say "I love you" to guys" "After I don't love them anymore," "Because you know what?" "It goes so much better." " Sounds like a plan." " Yeah." "Okay,except for this once." " Frank" " Don't you dare." "I wasn't,really." "So love really is a battlefield." "I learned that from another prophet on that cd at andrea'S." "The difference is,in battle," "You're supposed to shoot all your ammo at once and annihilate the other side." "In love," "Sometimes you just gotta hold your fire a little and see what happens." "Hey,tracy,can you grab me that file on the woodcrest property,please?" "Uh,in a minute,sweetie." "I gotta dr" "At least I know I can express myself now." "You know what,tracy?" "I'M." "I'm not sure if this whole girlfriend thing is working out so well." "Works for me." "No,you work for me." "I am your boss,and you are my assistant," "Which means that you have my tanzania peaberry on my desk" "When I get here in the morning," "And you keep our ass in that chair at night until you're sure I am at home in my jammies." "Are we clear,girlfriend?" "Yes,ms." "Newly." "Maybe thkey to survival in love and war is balance." "Did I say "please"?" "I'm sorry." "Um,please,and thank you." "Now get back to work!" "Please." "Right now!" "Thank you." "Please."
