"Jack... I don't believe you."
"You don't believe me? Why in God's name would you think I'd be deceptive about something like this? I'm not a morally bankrupt character in one of those independent films you drag me to in order to prove you haven't surrendered all of yourself to the mainstream world of corporate America."
"I don't... I drag you to them because I like them. Anyway, I didn't mean I don't believe you. I mean that most men wouldn't declare their love for a woman when she's got food in her mouth."
"Most women wouldn't choke."
"Most men wouldn't say what you said to a woman they're not even dating."
"Most women would consider a close work friendship augmented by substantial time spent together outside the office and many instances of sexual contact to be something of a relationship."
"Most men wouldn't use the phrase 'instances of sexual contact' to describe doing it."
"Most women would know that 'sexual contact' covers more than doing it."
"Most men would know that women think everything counts as doing it. Or part of doing it."
"Most women would have indicated before this point if they share the feelings of the man who'd just poured his heart out to them."
"Most men wouldn't consider 'It's probable that I'm in love with you' to be 'pouring their hearts out.'"
"They would. Now let's stop this passive-aggressive foolishness."
"Most men would prefer passive--"
"Lemon--"
"Okay, fine. I might be in love with you. Are you happy?"
"Somewhat. To be perfectly frank, your anger is throwing me off considerably."
"Okay. I'm sorry. I most likely love you. I'm getting back to my sandwich now."
"If you must. But I have to ask you something: Will you marry me?
Lemon... Are you choking again?"
