Maybe the Little Captain Isn't So Absurd

We're watching "Say Anything". John Cusack and Ione Skye just broke up. She's crying in the car.
Jake says, "When I grow up, I'll never break up with anybody."

I said, "Well, you'll need to. Sometimes it hurts, but you have to look around before you find someone you want to stay with. I broke up with a few boys before I met your dad."

Then he looked across the table and said "They have to speak to your heart."

"Yes they do."
