QUOTE:Oh, no, no. I know where this is headed. You're not going to miss that flight. Come on man when's the last time you were home? "Just four years." Dylan, the statute of limitations for licking the wounds of a broken heart expired a long time ago. It's the holidays! Time to forgive and forget.

QUOTE:100 proven ways to find your perfect mate. Who writes this stuff? "That would be me." No, seriously? Oh well, what do I know? "Clearly enough to voice an opinion." Oh, uh okay, well... you know what? Good for you. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there that just lap that stuff up. "I'm sorry lap this stuff up?" I'm just digging a deeper hole for myself here aren't I? "Yeah." I'm sorry I mean you no offense. "Some taken."

QUOTE:Frank. Frank, you're going to have to put your phone away. "I'm aware Maxine. I'm just texting Julie that we're getting out on time." Tell her to make sure that they have dried figs at the house, or we can pick some up on the way from the airport. "Dried figs?" Mm-hmm, For the dressing... for the turkey. "You put dried figs in the dressing?" 20 years of marriage. You don't know what I put in the Christmas dressing? "Why would I know that?"

QUOTE:Soulmates? Out of billions of people on this planet you believe that you are destined to be with just one? "I do. It's called true love. Why do you find that so funny?" Because the odds would be astronomical to think that each of us would have a one. To know that that person was the one, never mind finding a way to keep the one from getting away. "OK do me a favor and never say the one again." I promise.

QUOTE:"I happen to believe that fate plays a big hand. You just have to keep your eyes open to see it happen. Okay, for example when I first met Jack, I was on my way to a job interview for Radiant Bride. I was on the elevator and then he got in and I guess he could just feel my nervousness because then he said some kind words and he immediately put me at ease." What did he say? You're hired? "Why am I having this conversation with you? It doesn't matter what he said there was a spark." That soulmates spark! "Good night."

QUOTE:All we have left is a single on the third floor and it's an adjoining room. "Great not only am I stuck here now I have to share a door with someone." Well, something tells me you won't be the one who is bothered. Happy Holidays.

QUOTE:The wedding planner suggested tavern on the green. What do you think? "Uh, somewhat predictable, but the Chateaubriand is magnificent." "I bet Paige is going to say it's too on the nose. She really wants her day to feel special not expected." Well, there's always The Plaza but I know they book up a year in advance. "Well maybe we could just do the reception here?" "Oh good grief." And have people we don't know traipsing through the house? No thank you. "Your mother is barely comfortable with me being here sometimes." Don't touch the tree.

QUOTE:Hey brother, let me ask you something. How come you're the only guy in here watching this weather report with a big smile on his face? "Because this storm is turning out to be my giant get out of Christmas free card.

QUOTE:"I knew it the moment I met you, you're a cynic." Why just because I think it's nuts to sit around some airport all night waiting for the open sign to flicker on? "You know, I don't know who or what you're trying to avoid but tomorrow is the busiest travel day of the year. Are you sure you don't want to take a chance and go with us?" And spend the night sleeping on the floor of some drafty airport? No thanks. I think I'm just gonna sit right here and order myself another big glass of stayputski.

QUOTE:Weddings they do take work I'll give you that, but so do marriages. "The happily ever after? Oh, I know. I plan on writing an article about it." Oh, that's great. Let me know how that turns out. Oh, here's my night in crinkled khakis.

QUOTE:Well 20 years of marriage. Happens to everybody. "What?" Oh. No. Oh honey, don't let us scare you, no. Marriage can be wonderful. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

QUOTE:Paige you're kind of anxious to meet Jack's parents aren't you? "Oh, not anxious. Eager. Yeah people often mix up the two words. I'm eager to meet my in-laws. I'm anxious we might not make it in time." "In case she hasn't told you Paige here works for Glowing Bride Magazine." "It's Radiant Bride." "Well, I'm eager to read your article" "I'm anxious that we'll be in it."

QUOTE:Hey how long have you guys been together? "Well I like to say 20 years hoping to get time off for good behavior." "That joke gets funnier every year."

QUOTE:Soulmates? More like cellmates!

QUOTE:Marriage is about love, and respect, and patience, a lot of patience, and finding little ways to be kind to one another, every day. "You and Frank? Mm-hmm. Me and Frank."

QUOTE:What about your fiance? Does he make you laugh? "Yeah they say one of the most important things a woman looks for in a man is a good sense of humor. It said so in one of those articles in your magazine." "Frank always makes me laugh. Especially when I'm really mad at him." "And that's the most satisfying laugh of all, and the hardest to earn."

QUOTE:"So come on tell me why is it that you won't go home for Christmas?" Ahh you never let up do you? "Sorry, occupational hazard." You were right. Remember what you said about soulmates, about finding the one? "I remember you didn't believe it." Well, I used to... and I thought I'd found her. Turns out she was the one. Just not the one for me. She dumped me pretty hard. "I really am sorry Dylan." It's one thing when your girlfriend leaves you for another guy, but what are you supposed to do when that guy turns out to be your own brother? "Oh, Dylan I can't imagine how you must feel." The story does have a happy ending though, for them anyway, they're engaged. So, so much for finding my soulmate, huh.

QUOTE:Remember our first Christmas dinner? "Yeah, that tiny apartment in the East Village." We didn't have a stove so we made macaroni and cheese on a hot plate. "Frank put, uh, tomatoes, and spinach on top for the red and green trimming." Yeah, made it feel more festive. "We had a bottle of wine that his parents gave us for our wedding, it was awful." So bad. "It was a good Christmas though." It was.

QUOTE:My Dad always did the turkey at our place. That bird roasts all night long and the smell is incredible. Bryce, that's my brother, he and I would sneak down to the kitchen in the morning before anybody else got up and would each take a piece of turkey and then we would go and look at our presents under the tree. My Dad would always blame me for picking at the bird. But Bryce, he would step in and take the blame for me every time.

QUOTE:Growing up it was just my Mom and me and money was really tight. But she did her best so every year we just we watched them light the Christmas tree on TV at Rockefeller Center and we would clap along at the TV as if we were standing there right with everyone else. It was silly. "No, I think that's sweet." Well, then she got sick and Christmas just didn't seem as important anymore and then she was gone. "And now you're gonna get a big family Christmas of your own." Basically the kind of Christmas you're all trying to avoid.

QUOTE:What's awkward? "Uh, Paige just complimented one of the locals on her Mrs. Clause costume, only she wasn't wearing one." Oh, that's awkward!

QUOTE:Paige has had a horrible trip. "Oh I can tell, poor dear look at you."

QUOTE:I can't do this anymore. "Do what?" This one foot in, one foot out of the marriage thing. If we walk through that door together, it says husband and wife, there's no more playing pretend. "Wow, look at you taking a stand" Max, I'm serious. We took one another for better or for worse, I think sometimes we just settled for the worse. "Well are you going to stop talking long enough for us to get inside?" Maxine, I'm... oh, wait. Are you... agreeing with me? "Well there's a first time for everything!"

QUOTE:Oh, you look lovely dear. I was just saying the other day how off the rack can look just as flattering as proper couture.

QUOTE:Oh, and what was with that weird snorting sound you made earlier? "That's just the way I laugh." Well, that's strange. Why haven't I heard it before? "That's a good question. I don't know.

QUOTE:So does this mean that we are meant to be? Are we soulmates? "I don't know, but if you're willing to take a chance, I'd love to find out."
