there's nothing i don't like about you
there's always something to not like about someone
i try not to think about those things,
i'd rather just focus on the things i really like about you.
well i'm asking you to answer as a favor to me
how does my doing so serve as a favor to anyone
lately i've been on a rampage of self-improvement
i'm just trying to add things to my list
there's a list? more than just a couple? a few? a handful?
don't get technical with me.. you know what i mean.
-pauses-
a couple is two. a few is three. a handful is five..
and a baker's dozen is twelve!
how many are in a bushel? is that a relevant question?
stop distracting me.
you distracted yourself.
i was talking to myself.
so.. back to my question. what do you not like about me?
i guess if i had to choose just one thing..
oh you got a bushel now? .. that's what she said.
that doesn't make sense.
the bushel part or the that's what she said part?
stop distracting me! i'm talking to you this time!
there's no winning with you is there?
i guess i don't like that you're too emotionally attached.
to you?
no, to your past. you don't let things go, ever.
i don't think being emotionally attached is necessarily a bad thing.
i'm just committed to my emotional investments.
you're right, it's not always a bad thing. but at the extent you carry it out, you're robbing yourself of new opportunities to invest. if you know a stock is plummeting, would you continue to hold your stakes even if the market trends show no sign of...
stop. i hate when people talk in finance terms.
why?
-silence-
no reason. i just never got it.
you realize you started it with talk of investments right?
i don't recall using that word exactly.
but you did. "emotional investments" remember?
i will neither accept nor reject.. your offer to be royal until this grand ball. and then i will make my decision.
princess diaries, in case you didn't catch that reference.
i didn't, thanks for clarifying.
how is it that you can quote movies from the early 2000's but you can't remember what you said five seconds ago?
i only remember words i like..
plus that movie is super quotable in real life.
give me another quote from that movie that you could possibly use as part of a plausible adult conversation.
"what's in a name? that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet!"
that's not princess diaries, that's shakespeare.
is quoting shakespeare not a very grown up thing to do?
i take thee at thy word
oh romeo, tell me. what doth thee find fond about this fair maiden?
my father must know before we wed!
i liketh everything about you, christine.

even the fact that i'm too emotionally attached?
except that.
i'm never going to let that go, you know.
i know. you're never going to let me go either.
maybe that's the thing i really like about you.
exchanged words are the most haunting forms of intimacy.
