"When I go to bed at night I do 4 things. I drop my robe, slide under the sheets, turn on my left side and stick out my ass. That's it. That's the signal. I just - I back it right up there because I know when I do, no matter how cold the damn thing is, no matter how difficult it might feel, no matter how desperately we want to kill each other it's gonna be met by this warm body on the other side that's gonna hold it. Two arms that... wrap around, pull me out of my head, quiet the voices, save me from myself... without ever having to ask. Every night, 31 years. Every night there's my ass and every night... he never lets me down."
possible the cutest speech ever. i hope i have someone like that someday.

"If you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends."

je taime1, i'm glad you posted jojo's "when i go to bed at night" speech here. if you hadn't, i was going to do it!

i watched moonlight mile today, and this little monologue of hers is some of the hands-down best writing in any movie i've ever seen. it punched me in the gut and warmed my heart all at the same time. the words were soft and comforting, yet also powerful. i also love what jojo said next--that ben was her "home." incredible, incredible writing. my hat is off to brad silberling.

I agree, that was a great way of explaining a good marriage and the feelig of safety and security you feel from your man. I think they feel the same way.

Gaeliclass, exactly. Your comment about the feeling of safety and security from your man was put so well.

Thanks, that was always how I felt and Susan said it so well...I did the same as her..on my side sticking the butt out to touch them and getting a warm arm around me to cuddle. Not all men make you feel that way though, unfortunately.
