“Can I have a moment before I go?”
“She’s saying, ‘can I hit you up [and] get your digits?’”
“Woah, things get deep!”
“You sound like a song”
“That means he has a really nice voice, I don’t know if that’s singing or just in general.”
“Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time”
“Does she mean she wants to take a selfie? No, this is a closure thing.”
“She’s like super-scared.”
“I swore you moved overseas, that’s what you said, when you left me”
“He said he moved overseas - that was probably his excuse for breaking up with her! I don’t like him!”
“That’s really crusty, that’s a mess. Why would you even do that to somebody?”
“I’m so mad I’m getting old, it makes me reckless”
“I guess she’s old. I didn’t know Adele was old?”
"It was just like a movie…"
”They were a movie! They were The Fault In Our Stars!“
”The feels man, it hits you!"
