You're a little eccentric, but you're a good guy./John: Thank you.//Miriam: But picking friends is easy... picking mates is harder. There's a lot more at stake.//Miriam: Relationships either work, or they don't... it's no big deal either way. It's just that I usually don't drive 3,000 miles to find out if a relationship is going to work.//John: This one must seem especially promising to you then. Otherwise, you wouldn't be making the effort./Miriam: I suppose.//Miriam: There should be some sort of guarantee though... or at least a gas reimbursement./John: Maybe you shoulda walked instead.
