Broken Pieces

"It seems to me that love is everywhere."

"It’s the saddest part of my day, leaving you."

"Ask her out."

"It’s Christmas. At Christmas, you tell the truth."

"To me, you are perfect.”

"The truth is… actually… I’m in love."

"Shit. I can’t believe I just said that. And now I’ve gone and said ‘shit’ twice. Oh, piss it!"

"I think it’s brilliant! I think it’s stellar!"

"Do you think everybody knows?"

"Invite him out for a drink and then, after about twenty minutes, casually drop into the conversation the fact that you’d like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies."

"Now I’m left with no one."

"You never talk to me. You don’t like me."

"It’s a… self-preservation thing, you see."

"Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?"

"Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse?"

"Oh God, I am so in the wrong. The classic fool."

"So what’s the big news, then?"

"There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?"

"Don’t buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give ‘em to you for free!"

"True love lasts a lifetime."

"Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away."

"Who do you have to screw around here to get a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit?"

"What do we do now?"

"Alone again… naturally."

"Tell her that you love her."

“You’ve seen the films, kiddo. It ain’t over ‘til its over.”

"Let’s go get the shit kicked out of us by love."

“Life is full of interruptions and complications.”

"Basically, you’re fucked, aren’t you?"

"I am _____. God of sex. I’m just on the wrong continent, that’s all."

“He might be injecting heroin into his eyeballs for all I know.”

"This is shit, isn’t it?"

"Let’s get pissed and watch porn."

"Where the fuck is my fucking coat?"

"All I want for Christmas is you."

“But you know, the thing about romance is… people only get together right at the very end.”

"I’m very busy and important. How can I help you?"

“He’s, uh, married to his job. Either that, or gay as a picnic basket.”

“In the end, there isn’t just one person for each of us.”

"I love you even when you’re sick and look disgusting."

"Do you love him?"

"Merry Christmas."

The car gets packed and it’s difficult for Muse B to talk over the other commuters, let alone spot Muse A though they’re still seated right beside each other. When the crowd clears out 2 stops later, Muse A gets off the train, but their mp3 player accidentally gets left behind on the seat. Muse B quickly scoops it up, not wanting anyone to swipe it and they rush to the doors as they close, unable to get to muse A who they can see heading up the steps to exit the subway. Muse B decides to get off at the next stop, hoping that they can catch Muse A if they run the few blocks back to the previous station. When Muse B arrives at the station, out of breath, Muse A is nowhere to be found. Muse B goes off to their destination, holding Muse A's mp3 player in safe keeping. When Muse B gets home, they can’t help their curiosity and they take a listen through some/all of Muse A's songs. Muse B is amazed to discover a lot of music that they like on Muse A's playlists. They're even more amazed when they hear track # 9 [insert any favorite song]; Track # 9 is Muse B’s absolute favorite song (and coincidentally the track line that the train runs on). 

The next day/a few days later, when Muse B gets on the train again, they bump into Muse A. Muse B returns the mp3 player and takes a chance, starting up a conversation with Muse A about the music on it.
