Isn't that a little personal to be asking to the general population? Not that I mind it. I'm simply curious as to why.

[Pause.]

Romantic comedy? Is that a type? Who would want to watch something like that? If that is the typical story, I mean.

[19centconstable]

They haven't got to say if they don't want, but it's the sort of thing people like to talk about, I've found.

Yes. There are books and theater like that as well. And it's nice to see people fall in love. And funny to see them fall over.

[thebestnose]

But it's not so nice when someone gets left behind, like you said.

Though I suppose it depends on the person. If they weren't really in love with her, then it all should work out.

[19centconstable]

They never say. And sometimes the person who interrupts the wedding is a woman, and so the bride is left at the altar! But in those cases they always try to make clear that the bride is of poor morals and character. But still!

[thebestnose]

Well, you shouldn't interrupt at a time like that. Why do they choose that day?

[19centconstable]

Because it's the last day they could.

[thebestnose]

But why did they wait so long?

[19centconstable]

Fear of being rejected?

[thebestnose]

So they chance rejection in front of more people and also risk the rejection of another person for their own gain?

[19centconstable]

Um. Yes.

[thebestnose]

And you still watch this for entertainment?

[19centconstable]

Well. Yes.

When you say it like that it sounds awful. But it isn't real.

[thebestnose]

Right.

Well, you did ask if anyone felt sad for the man at the end.

[19centconstable]

Yes. So. Do you?

[thebestnose]

Depends on the situation. I probably would.

[Private]

Do you want an answer to your other questions or did you just ask to have a conversation?

[Private]

[19centconstable]

Either. Or both.
