"George is dead. Call me back."
RING. Hello?
"Hi. It's George."

Yes, I agree. Much better than "Do you come here often?"

Eh...it came at the end of a list of her weaknesses, like a left-handed compliment. You talk too much, you make an arse of yourself in public, you have bad habits, but hey, I like you anyway.

That was the point.

We got the freakin' moon. What are you gonna do without tides, Peru?

That made it even more sweet. He realizes the imperfections she has and he likes her including them..aka just the way she is. None of us are perfect and it's nicer for me to hear a guy tell me that yes you're not perfect (b/c obviously he's not either) but I like you for the way you are. That's way sweeter and more realistic than them liking you for an ideal image he has of you and doesn't know the real you.

Indeed it is. I'm such a sucker for this movie. Colin Firth in any character he chooses to play can do no wrong. He has that quiet intensity, sexiness personified, thing down to a science. He doesn't have to speak, just stare away Colin, stare away. Oh, and how great was it when he showed up to her flat unannounced for her bday dinner? He is so right. There isn't enough blue foods.

Uhh its like the perfect thing to say to someone. I'd probably explode into tiny pieces or melt into a puddle if anyone said anything to me like that.

I think it’s utterly patronising. I thought it was romantic at 17. At 37, I think it sounds like a head pat.

reply

What's wrong with a head pat?
They are a nice way of showing appreciation. Especially after a blow job.

reply

That's inappropriately crude, bruh.

reply

What is?
The head pat or the appreciation?

reply

It would only be patronizing to a humorless man-hating feminazi. I know that pisses you off, but do you really think I give a rat's ass if you like me or not?
