My Bloody Valentine

"Valentine's day is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap one day a year. "
"So James, I don't know if spouting off lines from movies, in this case Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless has worked with your past girlfriends, but I am not impressed by your recall memory."
"Well, just because I didn't come up with the quote doesn't mean I don't agree with it."
"Your own words should be your own my love."
"Well Ms. Albrecht, what do you think? We haven't really talked much about our plans for satuday, do you expect me to roll out the red carpet for you because saturday happens to be Valentine's day?"
"I thought we could go to Mariah's for dinner, nothing too extraordinary, but I did count on a nice dinner with my boyfriend, is that too much to ask?"
"Well, no of course not, but I am almost of the opinion that we should boycott nice dinner places and just do an intimate thing here at the apartment. I guarantee it can be fun."
"James, you are a guy so maybe it is a genetic kind of a thing, but we girls, we like going out to nice places for dinner on Valentine's day, I'll call Mariah's and make a reservation."
"No no, I really want to implement this idea...I want us to boycott all the places that pander to and count on people like us to spend a fortune in their overpriced confines on Valentine's day. I would like very much to embrace something different, and what, does a nice dinner here with me not sound appealing to you?"
"I want to go to Mariah's, I want flowers, I want See's Candies, sweetheart I have not looked forward to a Valentine's day for quite some time, can't we just do the normal thing and save the boycott for next year?"
"Albrecht, this country, our economy and our infastructure has gotten wildly out of whack because of your kind of thinking. We need to be innovative, we need to avoid being passive and non-creative, so we will do something special cause I love you, but I will not go anywhere for dinner except the kitchen."
"Oh my god, you turn everything into some dramatic ploy for attention. Well, fine, fine, we can do it here, you win, but I want you to know how ridiculous I think you are."
"Well a least you have agreed. Albrecht, I want you to re-watch the movie American Psycho, because I am convinced that as they say in the film, there really are no girls with good personalities. So, I expect you to be wearing something incredibly sumptous on saturday and I don't care if you are on your period, I'll be seeing red all night if that is the case."
