精彩片段对白：



S: Hey, Tom. I thought I might see you here. I always loved this place, ever since you brought me.



T: So, I, uh-- I guess I should say congratuations.



S: Only if you mean it.



T: Ah. Well, in that case--



S: So, are you okay?



T: I will be, eventually. You wanna--



S: Hmm. I like your suit.



T: Ah, thanks.



S: You look sharp.



T: [Laughs]So do you.



S: [Chuckles]Thanks.



T: I quit the office.



S: You did? I didn't know. That's great!



T: And you, um-- you're married.



S: Yeah. It's crazy, huh?



T: You should have told me when we were at the--



S: I know.



T: You know, at the wedding when we were dancing.



S: Well, he hadn't asked me yet.



T: But he was in your life.



S: Yeah.



T: So why'd you dance with me?



S: 'Cause I wanted to.



T: You just do what you want, don't you? You never wanted to be anybody's girlfriend, and now you're somebody's wife.



S: Surprised me too.



T: I don't think I'll ever understand that. I mean, it doesn't make sense.



S: It just happened.



T: Right, but that's what I don't understand. What just happened?



S: I just-- I just woke up one day, and I knew.



T: Knew what?



S: What I was never sure of with you.



T: You know what sucks? Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit. It sucks.



S: What do you mean?



T: Uh, you know, destiny, and soul mates, and true love, and all that childhood fairy tale nonsense. You were right. I-I should have listened to you.



S: No.



T: Yeah. What? What are you smiling at?



S: Tom.



T: What? What are you looking at me like that for?



S: Well, you know, I guess it's 'cause... I was sitting in a deli and reading Dorian Gray and... a guy comes up to me and... asked me about it, and... now he's my husband.



T: Yeah. And... so?



S: So, what if I'd gone to the movies? What if I had gone somewhere else for lunch? What if I'd gotten there 10 minutes later? It was-- It was meant to be. And I just kept thinking, Tom was right.



T: No.



S: Yeah, I did. [Laughs] I did. It just wasn't me that you were right about. I should go. But I'm really happy to see that you're doing well.



T: Summer! I really do hope that you're happy.
