-Never heard of Phillip Claiborne?|-No. He seems like a nice guy.

Nice? How many billionaires|do you know, H?

Really?

Let me talk to her.

She doesnt like you. How many|times have I got to tell you that?

Whatever happened to|the Way of the Warrior?

Whatever.

-If you ask me, it costs too much.|-What?

Love. It s way overpriced.

-Dont you ever get lonely, Taylor?|-Yeah, so what? Everybody does.

Except for soppy couples like you|who live in a f***ing Hallmark card.

-What? My life is a Hallmark card?|-If the shoe fits, baby.

-F*** you.|-F*** you too.

-Now what?|-lll be right back.

Dont freeze your weenie off.

and we commit|their bodies to the ground.

Earth to earth,|ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The Lord bless them and keep them.

The Lord lift up His countenance upon|them and give them peace. Amen.

Amen.
