To Dean n Ryan

Aaliyah 2022-03-16 09:01:03

You are ordinary and unremarkable; you believe in love at first sight; you are willing to sing on the street to the accompaniment of tap dancing that seems a little lame; you choose to tolerate whatever she decides; you tell her when she is most helpless: " Let's make a family."; you pick a theme song for both of you; you tell her before marriage: "There's still time for u to change ur mind." Because you don't think you're good enough; you love her and the kids And the dog called megan, who never swears in front of children; you defend her in front of outsiders at all times, even if she is yelling at you a second ago; you throw the ring out of anger, but then silently find it out; you realize that you can't get her love back no matter how hard you try, and choose to leave alone at her request.
Dean, with you like this, would I still care about prince charming?

And Ryan, you're another infatuated man who can't bear to be hurt. Although you always try to make yourself as ordinary and low-key as possible on the screen, I will never forget the fair-faced blond boy 8 years ago.

Next time, how will you surprise people?

Blue Valentine quotes

  • Dean: Tell me a joke.

    Cindy: So there's a child molester and a little boy walking into the woods. The child molester and the little boy keep walking further and further. And it's getting darker and darker. And they're going deeper and deeper into the woods. And the child molester... The little boy looks at the child molester and he says, "Gee, mister! I'm getting scared." And the child molester looks down at him and says, "You think you're scared, kid? I gotta walk outta here alone."

    [Dean shakes his head]

    Cindy: You don't think that's funny?

    Dean: No.

    Cindy: I do.

  • Jerry: Cindy doesn't usually bring her boyfriends home for dinner. So, uh, I'm thinking this might be serious.

    Glenda: Don't listen to him.

    Dean: I hope so.

    Jerry: You hope so?

    Dean: Yes, sir. I mean, I'm pretty serious.
