Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*.
Nicolas Cage as Ronnie Camareri, "Moonstruck"

Oh you've got me weeping now.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too.
Oh my goodness. I can't believe you're quoting this! THAT is my ALL-TIME-FAVORITE-MOVIE! Thanks for reminding me it might be time to rent it again, soon.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Hey wait a minute, that's my all-time favorite movie. So cut it out, or I'll have to tippy-tippy-tay over there and cut you.
Chrissy! Get me the big knife!
I think I need to re-watch this movie. It's been way too long. Btw, BB, the snickerdoodles were a hit! and "walk the line"--a great pick for Valentine's Day. I was glad for the napkins in my purse, as I weeped almost all the way through.
June Carter: [on stage w/John] We've got these people all revved up, John. Now c'mon, let's sing Jackson for 'em.
Johnny Cash: You've got me all revved up. Now I've asked you forty different ways and it's time you come up with a fresh answer.
June Carter: Please sing.
Johnny Cash: I'm asking you to marry me. I love you, June. Now I know I said and done a lotta things, that I hurt you, but I promise, I'll never do that again. I only want to take care of you. I will not leave you like that dutch boy with your finger in the dam.
June Carter: [shakes head]
Johnny Cash: You're my best friend. Marry me.
June Carter: [quietly] Alright.
Johnny Cash: Yeah?
[They kiss & the crowd cheers]
Happy Valentine's Day, Internet!
That's Amore is a huge bedtime request around this house, esp. by Segundo.
My boys esp. like when I slur through "pasta fazhooollll...."
