"I guess i'v been waiting so long I'm looking for perfection.That makes it tough."
"Waiting for the perfect love?"
"No even I know better than that.I'm looking for selfish-ness.Perfect selfishness.Like,say I tell you I want to eat strawberry shortbread.And you stop everything you'r doing and run out and buy for me.And you come back out of breath and get down on your knees and hold this strawberry shortbread out to me.And I say I don't want it any more and throw it out of the window.That's what i'm looking for"
"I'm not sure that has to do with anything to do with love," I said with some amazement.
"It does,"she said."You just don't know it.There are times in a girl's life when things like that are incredibly important."
