影片对白：
Liv: I'm not this girl. I just don't screw up. I just don't get demoted. It's like I don't have anybody. I feel so alone.
Daniel: Hey. Babe, I'm right here. You miss your friend, especially now. She'd know just what to say.
Liv: I'm mad at her too. She went for the hair. Girlfriends don't do that.
Daniel: You'll fix it. And if you can't, I love it. I do. You're like this very tall, very hot Smurf.
Liv: Oh, honey. It's not just about the hair. I'm mad because maybeshe's right. And it's exhausting having to try to be perfect all thetime. That's how I held it together ever since I was a kid. I figurednothing - nothing bad would happen again if I was step aheadof everything and everybody, all the time.
Daniel: Life isn't perfect, hon. It's messy.
Liv: You're right. I mean, I was gonna be perfect for now that you say it's impossible - Hey.
Daniel: No, you don't. No, you don't have to be perfect. I've alwayswanted a human wife. Yeah, the other ones are hard to inflate.
Emma: Hey.
Fletcher: Hey. Almost back to normal, huh?
Emma: I know, right? I have, like, one layer of skin left, but thatshould be okay for our wedding. So, oops, sorry, Liv. I wish I hadpictures. You know? It's like I was up there, and there's thisspotlight, and when I hit that rope - Oh, my God!
Fletcher: Hey! Enough, enough, enough! I've heard this story 10,000times, Emma. You've been acting a little wild lately. Okay? And I'mtired of it. So knock it offly you've been very mad and tense and excited. You know what? Ijust don't know how to deal with this. OK? And quite frankly, you haveme questioning whether or is something about - to do withthe wedding or if this is permanent.
Emma: Um, well, Fletcher, it is kind of permanent. You know? I meanit is possible that I might be mad or tense or excited more than oncein the next 40 years.
Fletcher: Is it? Really? You know what? You're doing it right now.
Emma: What?
Fletcher: You're being, not, I mean, not bitchy,but - I said "not bitchy." But you're right there in that should have the cab, like, take a you off at Pleasantand Nice, where we met.
Emma: Are you upset because of this thing with Liv...
Fletcher: Oh, totally.
Emma: because I'm having feelings? Because it's kind of hard to read you.
Fletcher: My God! That's totally it. I'm upset because you have feelings. You nailed it.
Emma: Okay. So in other words, then don't have so many feelings, but if I do, don't show 'em. I shouldn't have so many-
Fletcher: Oh, God! I can't even talk to you right now!
Emma: You haven't tried yet. Do you realize - Do you know how hardthis is for me? I don't even know who you are. You have not even triedto ask me about how I'm feeling. I'm so confused.
Fletcher: I don't even know who you are. All right? I don't want totalk. It's a tense time. We're fine. Whatever. I was gonna go to thegym. Bye.
