  Pete : What do you mean?

  Angelica : Well, love you get over in two months, big love you get over in two years, and great love, well great love... changes your life. So which one is it?

  Angelica : Oh my god, it's great love.

  Pete : Yeah, that just great.

• Pete : I'm telling you, she is more of a treasure than you could possibly know. She is not just some wholesome, small town girl, some like, good for you breath of fresh air. Tad, she is a wonderful person with a huge heart. And the kind of beauty that a guy only sees once, you know? Once! So Tad, if there is even a chance that you could break her heart, please, just for her sake, walk away man.

  Tad : I could never break Rosalee's heart, okay?

  Pete : Good. Because if you do, I swear to God I will tear you to pieces with my bare hands. Or vicious rhetoric.

  Tad : You're a good guy, Pete.

  Pete : Well, yes. Apparently not good enough.

• Pete : [to Tad]  Like do you know she has six smiles? One when something really makes her laugh. One when she's making plans. One when she is laughing out of politeness. One when she is uncomfortable. One when she is making fun of herself. And one when... she's talking about her friends.

  Pete : Believe me, I have tried everything.

  Angelica : Well, what did she say when you told her you loved her?

  Pete : Okay, maybe not everything.

  Angelica : How did she react when you kissed her?

  Pete : Okay, maybe only two things.

• Pete : I cannot remember a time... BEFORE you started telling that story.

  Rosalee : I was asked to provide a detailed explanation of the evening.

  Pete : And you did, Rosie, you really did. I really felt like I was there... sort of against my will.

• Pete : Rosie, there something I want to ask you...

  [Tad walks in] 

  Pete : What is the worst thing that could happen to me right now?

• Rosalee : What did you want to ask me?

  Pete : Oh, it was nothing, it was nothing really. No, wait a minute, I remember what I was going to say.

  Pete : Rosie, I'm in love with you.

• Pete : [kisses Rosie]  I love you, Rosie. I *always* have. If I've been a jerk this last week, it's because I've been fighting - I've been fighting for you. I don't want to lose you to Tad Hamilton, or anyone else. You're the one.
