"Here, you need another tissue."

"Thanks."

"Why do you do that to yourself? I mean, why do you put yourself through that? You know this always happens when you watch that movie. Why torture yourself?"

"It's not torture. Besides I love Harvey and Matthew Broderick is so hot in it."

"He is hot, I'll grant you that but you know what happens and you react the same way every time. Why?"

"I guess their relationship reminds me of us. Fucked up relationships, falling for someone else, the bashing, gay marriage, having kids. It's us but it's not but close enough to us that it scares me at times."

"But not enough to stop you from watching the movie."

"I think it's the scene when Arnold arrives at the school in his bunny slippers. I can't help but laugh my ass off."

"Yeah, that is one of my favorite scenes too. That and after the barn scene when Alan makes Arnold get in the car and drives off like a bat out of hell. Here, you need another tissue."

"Thanks. So, does this makes me a wimp for watching and crying like a wuss?"

"You could never be a wuss and thank you for asking me to watch it with you."

"You're welcome. And the next time you want to watch "Steel Magnolias" I'll watch it with you."

"You will? Thanks. Uh, we'll need more tissues."

"It's on the list."

"Speaking of tissues, here, now blow and go wash your face with some cold water. We have to meet the guys at the diner and I don't want to have to explain why Brian Kinney has red eyes and a puffy nose."

"Okay, and Justin, I mean it, thanks for sitting with me while I watched "Torch Song Trilogy."

"Hey, that's what partners are for."
