Transcript excerpt

We are gathered here today to join these two forever and ever. I'm sorry. I can't I'm sorry. I can't do this. To be frank, you're boring. You're you're typical. I I could find someone like you around every corner. I'm a chic lady. I I need passion. I need taste. I I want a big life. You just want me to stand by your side quietly while you run around with a side of fries. They're not even curly. Oh, come on. Don't look at me like that. Is that Arby's cheesesteak? Oh, Arby's cheesesteak. You've bewitched best. Steak and cheese. And that gorgeous sesame seed sub rule. Let's get married. Yeah. I get a little natural home. I'll never let your cheese. I want you forever. I love you too. Let's run away together. You've saved me from this bad, boring life.
