The 1st morning - “The Sound of Music” from The Sound of Music (1965) starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer; Music by Richard Rogers and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II (This is probably my favorite movie of all time EVER. I mean, I love Cinema Paradiso, Life is Beautiful, Run Lola, Run, Chungking Express, Amelie and A Very Long Engagement and other brilliant and beautiful films but this is something I’ll probably watch thousands of times in this lifetime.)

The 3rd morning - “I Enjoy Being a Girl” from The Flower Drum Song (1958); Music by Richard Rogers and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, as performed by Lea Salonga (yeah, love your own…)
The 4th morning - “Defying Gravity” from Wicked (2003) starring Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth; Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, but written in Summer Mornings as performed in Glee (I know, I know, I’m sorry. I haven’t seen it. Where is the DVD copy?!)

[while watching An Affair to Remember]
Annie: Now that was when people knew how to be in love. They knew it! Time, distance… nothing could separate them because they knew. It was right. It was real. It was…
Becky: A movie! That’s your problem! You don’t want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.

Daniel: So what’s the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum, or is it something else? Maybe… school-are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam: You really want to know?
Daniel: I really want to know.
Sam: Even though you won’t be able to do anything to help?
Daniel: even if that’s the case, yeah.
Sam: Okay. Well, the truth is… actually… I’m in love.
Daniel: Sorry?
Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is, I’m in love and I was before she died, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Daniel: [laughs] Aren’t you a bit young to be in love?
Sam: No.
Daniel: Oh, well, okay… right. Well, I mean, I’m a little relieved.
Sam: Why?
Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse.
Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?
Daniel: Oh. No, you’re right. Yeah, total agony.
Daniel: So, let’s go. We can definitely crack this. Remember, I was a kid once, too. So come on, it’s someone at school, right?
Sam: Yeah.
Daniel: Aha, good, good. And what does she-he-feel about you?
Sam: *She* doesn’t even know my name. And even if she did, she’d despise me. She’s the coolest girl in school and everyone worships her because she’s heaven.
Daniel: Good. Good.
[sits on the couch next to Sam]
Daniel: Well…
[grins]
Daniel: Basically, you’re fucked, aren’t you?
[deleted scene]
Daniel: Option one: ask her out.
Sam: Impossible.
Daniel: Fair enough. Option two: become her friend.
Sam: She’s the most popular girl in school and she hates boys.
Daniel: Okay. Option three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you.
Sam: It’s a route I’ve considered.
Daniel: And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of…
Sam: Hygiene.

Lily: Barney, no offense to Robin, but that wasn’t that funny.
Barney: Are you kidding? That was a great joke. It’s smart, funny, beautiful-the whole package. It’s everything you’re afraid to let yourself want… in a… joke.
Lily: I don’t believe it. I thought you called me over here to uncuff you from your sex swing again but… you’re in love? That is so sweet?
Barney: It’s not sweet! It’s-it’s like a disease. I slept with Robin one time and I caught feelings.
Lily: Barney, you’re gonna have to stop screwing around if you wanna be Robin’s boyfriend.
Barney: Whoa, whoa, whoa… Ahaha… boyfriend?! I don’t wanna be Robin’s boyfriend!
Lily: Well, what do you want then?
Barney: I don’t know! I just wanna be with her… all the time… I wanna hear about her day and tell her about mine… I wanna… hold her hand… and smell her hair… pfft! But I don’t wanna be her stupid boyfriend!

Robin: Fine.
Lily: (whispers again) Something personal…

Barney: So… Robin… Tell me about your day… and just what happened, how you felt about what happened.
Robin: What?
Barney: I’m not looking to problem-solve. I’m just looking to listen.
Robin: Why are you acting like this?
Barney: Like what?
Robin: You’re being super nice… It’s… freaking me out… be… gross, be inappropriate, be Barney.
Barney: Ah, I’m being Barney. And I think tonight’s going to be de-wait for it-lightful! Delightful!
Robin: Right… Hey, uhm, so I went to the chiropractor yesterday. That guy bent me over the table and pounded me for over an hour…
Barney: Insurance gonna cover it? Sometimes they don’t.
Robin: That’s it? Okay… Well, uhm, the other day I was at the dentist. That guy drilled me… all day long… He drilled me hard. He filled all of my cavities. Come on, man!
Barney: Well your teeth look fantastic!
Robin: Who are you?
- Sagittarius Love Horoscope for July 6, 2010 by Sasstrology
“Uranus recently turned retrograde in your romantic sector, just 5 ½ weeks after arriving. This means he’ll retrograde out next month, but already the things that he’s triggered have changed everything. Whether you realize it or not, a chain of events has been triggered and at some time in the future it will all fall into place.”
