Catch Her If You Can
[Ike Graham]: No, but I think attraction is mistaken for rightness.
[Maggie Carpenter]: I wanted to tell you why I run - sometimes ride - away from things.
[Ike Graham]: Does it matter?
[Maggie Carpenter]: I think so.
[takes a deep breath]
When I was walking down the aisle, I was walking toward somebody who
didn't have any idea who I really was.
And it was only half the other
person's fault, because I had done everything to convince him that I was
exactly what he wanted.
So it was good that I didn't go through with it
because it would have been a lie.
But you - you knew the real me.
[Ike Graham]: Yes, I did.
[Maggie Carpenter]: I didn't.
And you being the one at the end of the aisle didn't just fix that.
[Maggie Carpenter]: Benedict.
[Ike Graham]: Arnold.
[Maggie Carpenter]: I love Eggs Benedict, I hate every other kind.
I hate big weddings with
everybody staring.
I'd like to get married on a weekday while
everybody's at work.
And when I ride off into the sunset, I want my own
horse.
[Ike Graham]: Should I be writing this down?
You're a cynical, exploitive, mean-hearted creep
who wouldn't know real love if it bit him in the armpit.
who wouldn't know real love if it bit him in the armpit.
[Maggie Carpenter]
Always a bride, never a bridesmaid!
