- Jason Stevens: You thinking about butterflies?
- Emily: No, Jason. I'm looking at the stars
- Jason Stevens: You know, I set this whole thing up because I thought YOU wanted to go horseback riding, not your mom.
- Emily: Get real. Horses are smelly and sweaty.
- Jason Stevens: So, sweetie, what's YOUR dream. If you could dream of anything - anything - what would YOUR dream be?
- Emily: My dream? My dream was a perfect day... and I'm just finishing it. My dream is to be with people I love, who love each other, and that love me.
- [scene shifts]
- Emily: What about you, Jason? What's your dream?
- Jason Stevens: I don't know. For as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was have fun. Now, I don't have a clue.
- Emily: It's okay. Guys are clueless.
- [Jason laughs]
- Emily: Hey, you have to know this: even if you don't have a dream of your own, you gave me mine. That counts for something.
- Ted Hamilton: So you're Jason's friend?
- Emily: Yes. I am.
- Ted Hamilton: True friend?
- Emily: Absolutely. Pinkie promise.
- Ted Hamilton: So how long have you known Mr. Stevens?
- Emily: We go way back, we're like this.
- [crosses fingers]
- Emily: Now where do I sign?
- Ted Hamilton: And, um... , he hasn't promised you any compensation for this friendship?
- Emily: Look at him. Does he LOOK like he has anything to offer?
- [Miss Hastings suppresses a laugh]
- Ted Hamilton: So, uh... , you expect this friendship to continue?
- Emily: I plan on knowing Jason for the rest of my life.
- Jason Stevens: I need a friend.
- Emily: Explain yourself.
- Jason Stevens: It's complicated.
- Emily: No. It's not. It's pathetic.
- Emily: Look at her, isn't she beautiful? I mean, except for her choice in lipstick.
- Jason Stevens: [laughs]
- Emily: But you have to admit, even if you for nothing else out of the deal but her, you'd still be a huge winner.
- Emily: Yeah, you can kiss me, even though you're a guy.
- [Jason kisses Emily]
- Jason Stevens: I missed you, too.
- Emily: Whatever. Let's cut to the chase. You really blew it with us this Christmas.
- Jason Stevens: I... I was unavoidably detained.
- Emily: Okay, yeah. I want Christmas. I want - to ride - a horse.
- Jason Stevens: Oh, I-I got, like, a week or two left with this other thing but, um... , lemme make a call and we'll s...
- Emily: Jason. Now.
- Jason Stevens: Okay.
- Emily: You screwed up big-time you know! I had to eat a rubber hospital turkey for Thanksgiving! You better be back by Christmas!
- Emily: Two completely opposite people, who wouldn't have had a chance without me, destined to make each other miserable.
