I like it. Nice fit. Swanky material.

Jay, you look so strong and sexy, like an Olympic wrestler but with money.

Yeah, those will work.

You can wear them tonight. I have a surprise.

Don't tell me you're finally taking me salsa dancing!

You're going to love him. Trust me. The guy is hilarious.

(Do you) Notice anything different?

We spent a lot of time on this.

All women should look as tasty as you when they're old.

Take this sweet gift as a token of my affection.

Oh, my God. I love it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Seriously, you have got to put a black light on it. It'll blow your mind.

Wow! Dylan, I didn't know you could paint.

Oh. So you two actually did that.

No, no. You don't need to     be in the bedroom     at all.

I have hand-picked a card, drawn a heart in the steam on the medicine cabinet, and taken Claire to Fratelli's, a family-style Italian restaurant, for 17 years in a row.
