You and your obsession with rollercoasters. Whats the name…
“You and your obsession with rollercoasters. Whats the name of this one? Oh, The Terminatrix. How nice. Look, Derek, I How do I buckle this thing? I got it. Derek, I think Ive got enough adrenaline and funnel cakes in my system, I can finally tell you whats in my heart right now. This might not be the best conversation to have on the rollercoaster, but if what I am about to say breaks your heart, you can just claim that whatever tears might be in your eyes are due to wind resistance. (Leans back the rollercoaster begins going up.) Oh here we go! So, what Im trying to say¦ What am I trying to say? Well, weve had a good year. Almost a year. (She leans forward and bounces up and down just a bit to show the bumpy beginning of the roller coaster.) Ten months and 22 days. Things started out bumpy. Sort of like this ride. And I thought we were headed in the same direction. (Leans back again.)”
