But for now, let me say — without hope or agenda, just because it’s Christmas and at Christmas you tell the truth — to me, you are perfect. And my wasted heart will love you. Until you look like this [picture of a mummy]. Merry Christmas.

“Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.”

- It didn’twork out with Daniel Cleaver?
- No, it didn’t.
- I’m delighted to hear it.
- Look, are you and Cosmo in this together? I mean,you seem to go out of your way…to try to make me feel like a complete idiot every time I see you, and you really needn’t bother. I already feel like an idiot most of the time anyway— with or without a fireman’s pole.

- BRIDGET: That’ll be my taxi. Good night.
- MARK: Look, um… I’m sorry if I’ve been…
- What?
- I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean,there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are… an appallingly bad public speaker.

I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet… that I was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had given me the day before. But the thingis, um… what I’m trying to say very inarticulately is… that, um… infact… perhaps, despite appearances… I like you very much.
- Ah. A part from the smoking and the drinking… and the vulgar mother and the verbal diarrhea.
- No. I like you very much— just as you are.
