Looping around mine like it was a snake or -- MICKEY: -- Something fierce! Never felt such passion in a kiss. HOPE: Never kissed a man without knowing his name. MICKEY: In love making... sure! But in a kiss!? HOPE: Does that make me a slut? Wait, no. MICKEY: Must be what it's like between souls mates. HOPE: I shouldn't use that word. It's sexist. MICKEY: I bet she's wondering the same thing. HOPE: Shouldn't use 'Should' either. My therapist says. MICKEY: We're so in sync. Like sparks from the same star dust! HOPE: Oh to hell with words! Who cares!? It's all semantics! MICKEY: Be still my heart for I have found my Julietta! HOPE: I'll be a fucking SLUT if I want to be! They turn to face each other: MICKEY: That was... HOPE: Yeah.
