精彩對白
Girl: Oh, my... No way! No freaking way! You're the girl from the article. What-What are you doing here?
Jane: Um, well- Okay. Long story short. There's this guy.
Girl: Oh! Okay. Tell me more. Tell me more. - Um-
Jane: Kevin? Kevin Doyle?
Doyle: Oh, my God.
Girl: There he is. There he is. Come on. You can do it. Say it.
Jane: Okay. Uh, I just wanted to say that you were right about me, about all of it. I just didn't want to hear it, especially not from you.
Girl: Can we get a follow spot?
jane: There you are. Uh, Kevin, I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come along and then you showed up. And you are nothing like the man I imagined. You're cynical and cranky and impossible. But the truth is, fighting with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I think there's a very good chance that I'm falling in love with you. So... that's it. That's all I had to say. So... I'll go now. Excuse me. Sorry. Kevin, I just really, um-
Doyle: Get over here.
Man: Tell me, what do you think makes this wedding special?
Casey: Who are you?
Man: I write the Commitments column for the journal. Maybe I could buy you a drink later.
Casey: It's an open bar. Maybe I'll buy you a drink.
Woman: Hi.
Tess: Thank you.
Redro: God, look at how hot Tess looks. Think she'd go for me? I am a year older.
George: I don't know. I'll put in the good word for you, big guy. All right? Hello.
Tess: Hi. Um, I'm the maid of honor. I, um, live in Williamsburg with a roommate and I just started designing my own line of deeply fabulous handbags. And I'm completely broke. But that's okay. I eat a hamburger a day, and my idea of a pet is a rock.
George: Well, it's very nice to meet you.
Tess: Tess.
George: Tess. Got it.
Tess: Well, wait until you see the bride. She looks gorgeous.
Casey: Ready? Everything's perfect. And this dress- the best thing is I can shorten it and wear it again.
jane: Definitely. So true.
Tess: All right.
jane: Okay.
Father: Okay. Ready?
Jane: Yes. That day, I woke up and put on my 28th dress. I went to a wedding where no one asked me to hold the bouquet, fold a place card or hold their dress while they peed. Everything was perfect. And I didn't care. Because right then, the only thing that mattered was the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle. And he was looking at me the way I'd always hoped.
Doyle: So is this moment everything you hoped for?
Jane: No. It's more. It's much more.
Pastor: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Jane Nichols and Kevin Doyle in holy matrimony. Marriage is a cause for celebration.
Jane: It turns out I was right about one thing. I knew they'd all be there for me someday.
