Film Quote by Allison Raskin
““Everything that happened last night was incredibly cliché bordering on boring. If it was a scene in a movie, I would have talked shit about it for being uninspired and predictable. But that’s part of what made it so special to me. It felt so . . . normal. I felt normal. Better than normal. Desired.””
