H:     Cherchez la femme. That’s one thing the Frogs got right.

C:     Yeah.

H:     Lady Love sure can turn a man’s head, make him betray his country or his dearest friend.

C:     Or she could just not care.

H:     Make you lose your self-respect.

C:     Think about a woman who doesn’t know you’re thinking about her, doesn’t care you’re thinking about her, makes you think about her even more.

H:     I’m thinking about him. How him and her became them and I became only me.

C:     Yeah, him. I wonder who her him is.

C:     I know most of you have been where I am tonight. The crash site of unrequited love. You’ve asked yourself, how did I get here? What was it about her? Was it her smile? Was it… the way she crossed her legs? The turn of her ankle? The poignant vulnerability of her slender wrist? What are these elusive and ephemeral things that ignite passion in the human heart? That’s an age-old question. It’s perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer’s night. Hey, you said it best, Will. “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” Yeah.
