Unexpected Love and a Vegas Journey
Robbie
How much is it?
Flight Attendant
It's free.
Robbie
It's what? Holy shit, this is incredible. Actually, I shouldn't drink. I fell in love with this girl who's going to marry an idiot, so I'm on my way to Vegas to stop them.
Female Passenger
That's the sweetest thing I have ever heard! Where are they getting married?
[overhears]
Robbie
That's the problem, I don't know where, but I'm going to run around and find them. I got to do what I got to do.

Brotherly Bonds and Flawed Perceptions
David "Dave" Veltri
When my brother, Harold, asked me to be the Best Man at his wedding, I was like, "Of course, man." Cause you've always been there for me. Like when I was in rehab, and, uh, the time I couldn't find my car. Cause Harold, ya know, he's always been the dependable one - and I've always been the screwed up one, right, Dad? "Why can't you be more like your brother? Harold would never beat up his landlord!
[drunk; chuckles; chuckles; laughing]
Groomsman
He's drunk as shit.
[whispering to other groomsmen]
Dave
But, uh, little newsflash, Pop: Harold ain't so perfect. Remember that time in Puerto Rico, we picked up those two, uh... I guess they were prostitutes, but I don't remember payin'.
[laughs then coughs a little; to Harold]
Robbie
Okay, how bout that! Yeah, terrific.
[comes up on stage and grabs mike from Dave]
Dave
I'm a person too, Pop, goddammit! I'm a person too!
Mr. Veltri
You're a moron!
Robbie
The Best Man, everybody.
Dave
The best man, the better man! Aooooooow!
[bangs cymbal]
Robbie
Uh, hey. We've all done crazy things in our life, so... He's playing the guitar now, isn't that great? You're doin good.
[Robbie is interrupted when Dave picks up Robbie's guitar and starts strumming it.]
Dave
Yeah, sounds good? That's cause I'm the best guitar player in the wooorld! Yeaah! Self taught, no lessons. Thank you very much, Pop! They'll be divorced in a year!
[drunkenly stumbles offstage; crowd gasps]

A Breakup Before the Wedding
Robbie
Hey, you're late.
Linda
I'm sorry. I just couldn't do it.

Linda
No, I don't need more time, Robbie. I don't ever wanna marry you.
Robbie
Jeez, you know, that information might have been a little more useful to me yesterday.
Linda
I've been talking to my friends the last couple of days...
Robbie
Uggh...here it comes.
Linda
...and I've been figuring out what's been bothering me. I'm not in love with Robbie now'. I'm in love with Robbie 6 years ago'. Robbie the lead singer of Final Warning... when I used to come and watch you in the front row with your spandex pants...your silk shirt unbuttoned...licking the microphone like David Lee Roth...
Robbie
I still got the spandex. I'll put em on right now.
Linda
The point is I woke up this morning and realized, I'm about to marry a wedding singer. I am never gonna leave Ridgefield!
Robbie
Why do you need to leave Ridgefield? We grew up here. All our friends are here. It's the perfect place to raise a family.
Linda
OH...YEAH...livin in your sister's basement with five kids while you're off every weekend doing wedding gigs at a whopping sixty bucks a pop?
Robbie
Once again...things that could've been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!

Reflections on Past Relationships and Missed Signals
Julia
May I ask what happened with Linda?
Robbie
She wasn't the right one, I guess.
Julia
Did you have any idea she wasn't the right one when you were together?
Robbie
I should have. Uh, I remember we went to the Grand Canyon one time. We were flying there and I'd never been there before and Linda had, so you would think that she would give me the window seat but she didn't and... not that that's a big deal, you know. It's just there were a lot of little things like that. I know that sounds stupid...
Julia
Not at all. I think it's the little things that count.

Despair and Heartbreak in Love's Aftermath
Robbie Hart
You don't know how much I need you. While you're near me, I don't feel blue and when we kiss I know you need me too. I can't believe I found a love that's so pure and true. But it all was bullshit. It was a goddamn joke and when I think of you, Linda,I hope you fucking choke. I hope you're glad with what you've done to me. I lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy. You left me here, all alone, tears running constantly. Oh would somebody kill me please? Somebody kill me please. I'm on my knees, pretty pretty please! Kill me! I want to die! Put a bullet in my heeeeaaaad!
