Acting Quote by Rayy
“But now it feels like weve been traveling on two different tracks. What? Put my hands in the air? Okay. (Raises hands in the air.) But really, Derek, where are we headed? I feel like Im ready to take the plunge off of the Marriage Mountain Splash Ride. And Im not afraid to get soaked with commitment. Youd rather spend your time on the bumper cars. Sure, its fun to bump around, but it gets pretty meaningless after a while. So, thats why I think oh my gosh, this is high up! Is it supposed to be this high? Its safe, right? Anyway, thats why Ive decided Here goes! (The roller coaster drop begins!) Im BREAKING UP WITH YOU!!!! AAAAAH! I THINK WE SHOULD JUST BE FRIENDS! AND SEE OTHER PEOPLE!!!! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! (She leans to the left.) So, what do you think?! (She leans to the right.) What are you doing? What is this? (She accepts something from him.)”
