From the movie 'Comet'

Something's wrong.
I know it, Kimberly, I know you.
You have circles under your eyes.
You were the type of girl that could sleep through wars.
And despite that, you're still looking so beautiful.
More beautiful than ever, in fact.
It's usually a sign you wanna remind the world that you're a sexual being because your man's not
picking up the signal.
You've checked out of this relationship, haven't you?
You're not happy.
Also, you're listening to Roxette.
I know that means the beginning of the end.
And let's get real for a second about the ring, alright. You're not having it sized.I'm sure you had your ring-size burned into Jack's memory years ago.Fuck, I still remember it, 4.5.
You didn't wear the ring because you didn't want me to see it.
Don't marry him, okay. I want you back.
I know you want me back too. That's why I'm here.
That's what you've been wanting to say to me this whole time...

- Dell.

What?

-I'm pregnant.

What?

-Morning sickness has been keeping me up.
I just really love Roxette. And I dressed this way not to announce to the world anything.
It was you. I wanted to look good for you.
Because no matter how bad our relationship got
I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. Because I needed it.
I needed you in this life.
That's what I wanted to say.

I gotta... I gotta sit down.

I'm sorry. I'm not leaving Jack. I love him.

Wow. You're pregnant. I didn't see that coming.Do you know what it is yet?

Not yet. Hoping it's a girl.

Uh, I almost proposed to you, you know?
When we were in that hotel room in Paris.
I even picked out the ring. I had it with me.
I was about to give it to you, and then I took it
and I flushed it down the toilet. I keep replaying that moment over and over again in my head.

Why are you crying?

I'm just happy to see you.
And it's such a beautiful night. I feel like I'm in the wrong world. Cause I don't belong in a world where
we don't end up together. I don't.
There are parallel universes out there where this didn't happen. Where I was with you,
and you were with me. And whatever universe that is that's the one where my heart lives in.
I wanted so badly to go back into that dream I had the other night. I tried so hard... to go back to sleep.
You know, I never thought love was real. I didn't.
And now I think life isn't real without it.

That sounds like a really bad greeting card...

Don't. Don't make it a joke.

Truth?
I think you always believed in love.

This is so stupid.So irrational.
Why am I so hell-bent on getting you back?
You fucking hate Pixar movies for crying out loud.
You still have an AOL account. I don't wanna be with a person like that. Why does it feel so
impossible to let you go? It's an addiction, you
know. That's all it is. It's a biochemical
addiction. It's so stupid.If you think about it
relationships are all totally narcissistic.
Basically, you're just looking for someone who'll love youas much as you love yourself. That's all it is.

- No, it's not.

- Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

No, it's not. I don't know anything anymore. But I know I do love you.

- Dell...

- Just give me a minute, okay.
