Oh, alright already, I already know what you're thinking. It's been quite a while since I've written anything and well...I've run out of excuses. Hmm...the title? Yeah, I know. But, it's not what you think. It's a little more complicated than that. Sure, sure...I think I'm in love...or not...I'm not making any sense? Under the circumstances, you wouldn't eitheir. My point? I'm getting there. I watched this movie on the tube last night and it made me remember all the lines that I absolutely adore. It suits me, especially now... Ah, I know you're going to ask about that. My boyfriend? Well, I don't have one anymore...sad isn't it? "Love is so short, forgetting so long"... Back to the movie! Well, this is not your typical romance. But then again, when is romance or love for that matter ever typical? Hmm...

In this scene, the stepdad, Daniel talks to his 10-year old Sam:

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: OK. 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: Aren't you a bit young to be in love?

Sam: No.

Daniel: Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.

Sam: Why?

Daniel: Well, you know - I thought it might be something worse.

Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.
