Cinematic Love

The following is a short scene of one of the quickest and funniest love scenes in the last year. It involves Okie, who was the replacement 5-minute date that a waitress named Dawn met. She hated the five-minute experience and "made the mistake" of telling him where she worked. He shows up the next day with a bundle of flowers and a beaming smile that refuses to go away. Here's the dialog:

Dawn,
Can I bring you joy
like you bring me sunshine?
Can I hold you a minute
and it turns into forever?

Do you like that one?

No!!

Okay, how about a spontaneous tidbit that rhymes?

All my life I've met harlots,
but you are a queen
da, da, da, da, da, da, da...
something between

I've gotta work on that one.

Leave me alone.

I can't leave you alone,
because I'm in love with you, Dawn.
You're going to be my wife.

Listen to me.
You make me sick!
I think you're nothing but a crazy little freak
and I wish you would go away and die!

(sobbing)

Oh, I'm sorry hon.

They become pretty much inseperable after that. It's one of many funny scenes in this movie. The plot revolves around an adulterous affair, so it's likely to turn off some, but it's quite charming and funny.

Was that the movie about pies? I seem to recall it - and the adulterous love affair came to no good end as I recall - it was yucky because it was her obstetrician. But that was a great side love story -the goofy Okie was so persistent. Thanks for making me remember that!
