Something's Gotta Give - Embracing Love and Its Complexities

Erica: Are you crying?
Erica: Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Marin: Why? What is it?
Erica: I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I got to learn how to do that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Marin: Oh, Mom. I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You got to self-protect.
Erica: You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Marin: I think it's worth trying.
Erica: Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Marin: Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?
Erica: I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Marin: I've never had the time of my life.
Erica: I know, baby. And I say this is from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
