Denver:Allie is now wearing a rubber band around her ring finger…“to practice”.
Shepard:These two disgust me.
Shepard:Don’t they know love comes and goes?
Denver:You a cynic, Shepard?
Shepard:I’m a realist, Denver. I’ll never settle down. There’s too much out there for us to experience for that to happen.
Shepard:Besides, do you REALLY want to be with the same person forever?
Denver:You are asking the wrong person, buddy.
Shepard:Oh god. Please tell me you’re not one of those weirdos who believes in soul mates and fate and all that true love bullshit.
Shepard:Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday. Santa Claus isn’t real. And you can’t die from mixing Coke and Pop Rocks.
Shepard:Just wanted to point all that out in case you believe in that bullshit too.
Denver:Cynic.
Shepard:Realist.
Denver:I believe everything happens for a reason, even if we don’t know what it is at the time. I believe things are mapped out for us. It may seem like we’re making all the decisions, but it’s what has been intended all along. I DO think you can settle down with one person forever.
Shepard:Yet you’re against AJ and Allie getting hitched?
Denver:I never said that. I said I was against them doing it in high school. I never said I didn’t think they’d last forever.
Shepard:I give it until spring when they’re deciding on which colleges to go to.
Shepard:College ALWAYS breaks people up.
Denver:They could stand the test of time, Shepard. You never know.
Shepard:Shep. Just call me Shep.
Denver:Can I call you Slug?
Shepard:FUCK NO! I HATE that nickname.
Denver:Why?
Denver:It’s kind of cute.
Shepard:You think slugs are cute?
Denver:Hmm…good point. No.
Denver:Why do you hate it?
Shepard:Because it symbolizes a whole bunch of bullshit.
Denver:You’re talented when it comes to explaining things. Has anyone ever told you that?
Shepard:That was sarcasm, right?
Denver:DUH
