bigs damn hey do you have a spare

toothbrush I could

was giving his to me it was the single

most encouraging moment so far in our

relationship hello

hey I was just at this party and two

people who met a week ago announced

their

engagement and well I don't know isn't

that a bit shocking well this is New

York nothing is shocking we've embraced

public

urination yeah but these people think

they're soulmates did they actually use

the term soulmates yes several times

then I give them 3 months what are you

wearing do you believe in love at first

sight uh I believe in love bust at First

Sight I'm serious so am I come on I need

a visual I don't know a top strapless

oo hey were you asleep when I

called yes sorry it's okay but next time

be at the

door

naked I started to

wonder the next night I made the mistake

of telling big about the poem

love glove Dove Dove is

good love is like a dove or a big fuzzy

glove don't use that I might have stolen

it from a greeting card okay thanks

work when is this wedding doesn't matter

you're not going oh yes I am I wouldn't

miss you reciting love glove dove in

front of all of New York for

anything oh

please sorry I had to help Miranda put

the gifts into the

van so are you ready to go well have

they even cut the cake yet I don't know

but I can tell you how it turns

out if you want to go go

what's wrong you wouldn't even sign the

card the

card I'm afraid we don't want the same

things things like

cake I want someone who's going to be

with me until the

end of a

wedding okay

will yes Single Ladies it's time for the

tossing of the bouquet isn't the bouquet

out get us some cake I want to say

goodbye to my friends
