Rosemary: Let's go practice in my bedroom. Gabe: Okay. What do you think I'm going to say? Birdie: Oh, come on! He is no good for you! Get back in the truck! Adam: It's not anybody's fault. Leslie: It's just that your father and I are a lot more different than we thought. Gabe: [thinking] My first date. The big spender. Häagen-Dazs all the way, baby. So, how come I have nothing to say to her? Why isn't she looking at me? Am I that hideous? Do I smell? Gabe: You, um, come here often? Rosemary: Central Park? Gabe: Um, yeah. Gabe: [thinking] What kind of question is that? I hate myself. Gabe: Look at them all. Rats in their cages, their lives destroyed by love. I'm done with it. I won't be like them. The fools. Leslie: Maybe not everything is supposed to last forever. Certain things are like... like... skywriting. Like, like, like a really beautiful thing that lasts for a couple moments and then... You know? Gabe: [cries] Mommy! Leslie: I know, honey. Love sucks. Gabe: Yeah.
