             ”you know for the record, she came on to me. she was just very persistent.” he shrugs nonchalantly, as if his excuse justifies anything. ryder sighs, running a hand through his hair before speaking once more. “i need a favor. and before you laugh in my face, which would be rude, just listen. my dad’s having this new casino grand opening and i need a date that knows more about me than my net worth.”

"Life happens when you're busy making other plans."

"And then there's me."

"I thought I had everything all mapped out."

"As long as you don't switch me to decaf."

"I really don't want to talk about it, okay?"

"Did you really just quote Alice Cooper?"

"Let's get some lunch! I'm starvin' Marvin!"

"______ was totally checking you out!"

"He/she saw me geeking out?"

"You're asking me on a date?"

"I told you _____ was into you!"

"________ better be nice to you or I'll squish them like the bug they are."

"Alright! We get it! You're in love, go away!"

"Honey, bribery and guilting are the glue that have held parents and teenagers together for generations. Don't break tradition."

"Wake up!"

"Your closet's terrifying!"

"I don't know wether to wear date clothes or casual clothes."

"Be careful, I hear it gets pretty wild at the symphony."

"I have this theory I was switched at birth."

"Why? Why me?"

"Why do I have this feeling you're about to mess up my entire life?"

"Start fighting? How am I supposed to start fighting?"

"Am I gonna die? Is that was this is?"

"If you live, if you die, it's all up to you."

"Well, food to eat is my favorite."

"I'm sorry to say that's the furthest we've gone since our first date."

"Wait, I need to take it slow...okay?"

"You know, I'm not ashamed to be a cinnamon spice chai latte lover, thank you very much!"

"If it doesn't work out, are gonna help me pick up all the pieces?"

"The you you are now, is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I'll be in love with tomorrow."

"No matter what, I will never leave you, we're gonna make it."

"________, you came."

"You can't let ______ grow up without a family."

"Or we could get a place together."

"Woah! The whole three bucks? Slow down, big spender!"

"I wish you would have told me."

"It's like dating a ghost!"

"You're so naive, you don't know shit about the world!"

"How am I supposed to find the strength to stay?"

"I'm not at writing about things that make me happy."

"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE! I WANT THIS TO BE OVER!"

"I want you to live, I want that more than anything in this world. I want you to fight like hell to stay."

"If you wanna go, I want you to know it's okay. I understand."

"I'll do whatever you want, just please stay."

"I don't care where we are, I just care that we're together."

"I can't, you know I can't."

"You wrote me song."

"I missed you!"

"And we're gonna rock this place!"

"I want one!"

"I have a secret and I can't tell anyone else!"

"It's the diary she kept the year she was pregnant with me."

"We danced on the beach and we kissed on the beach and dot, dot, dot."

"Dot, dot, dot, that's what they did in the olden days."

"God! Stop growing!"

"I used to have fun."

"So, who is your dad?"

"What would you write to a total stranger 'please come to my wedding, you might be my father?'"

"Bride or groom?"

"I'm getting married tomorrow!"

"If we had it your way, it'd be a three minute wedding in jeans and t-shirts, washed down with a bottle of beer."

"Look at ____, they've gotten so beautiful!"

"I'm getting married, I'm not joining a convent!"

"If they were more like me, they wouldn't be getting married at twenty."

"We're here for the wedding."

"You're not _____'s daughter/son?"

"The last time I saw your mother, she said she never wanted to see me again."

"You have a boat? Good, get on it."

"You promised you'd come to my wedding!"

"It cost me ten quid, plus my Johnny Rotten T-shirt."

"Are you the hero of my dreams?"

"For me, it's the last night before the greatest adventure of my life!"

"And you'll never leave me, right?"

"Somebody up there has got it in for me. I bet it's my mother."

"I'd have loved to have a daughter, I would have spoiled her rotten!"

"I don't know who my father is."

"How old are you?"

"Are you my father?"

"Will you give me away tomorrow?"

"No! Our secret until the wedding!"

"How long have you known I'm your father?"

"Who's giving you away tomorrow?"

"So that's why you sent the invite! You wanted your old dad to walk you down the aisle! I won't let you down, I'll be there!"

"It's not too late, I can call off the wedding. Everyone will understand."

"You never did the wedding-and-baby thing, you just did the baby thing!"

"God! I love _____ and I want to be with them!"

"I don't want my children growing up, not knowing who their father is! Because it's just...it's crap!"

"You know, I'm free and single and it's great."

"He's/She's all mouth but no trousers."

"You just can't ignore the chemistry between us."

"I put everything on hold for you."

"You don't know if you love me?"

"Of course I love you, I just wish you would've told me!"

"I've done the big, white wedding and, believe me, it doesn't always end in happily ever after."

"Did you feel that way before you got married?"

"Do you think I'm letting you down?"

"You were the first person I've ever loved."

"Let's not get married just yet."

"Let's just get out of here and see the world, okay?"
