情到浓时，Tina问男友爱她有多深，对感情一向似懂非懂的Ike真的招架不住了……
Tina： Now that was an awesome party！
Ike： It was beyond awesome！ It was 1）epic！ Whoever had the idea to throw a rock-star themed 2）rager is a party genius！
Tina： Maybe we could host a party of our own.
Ike： Yeah we could！ This place could handle 30-40 people easy.
Tina： ①And I could think of a dozen or so themes right off the top of my head.
Ike： Who should we invite？
Tina： Obviously my 3）BFF Gina. OMG， I gotta text her with some of my theme ideas， like 4）Avant Garde or 70s.
Ike： Maybe we could invite a few professors， and make it more a 5）upscale kind of 6）soiree.
Tina： I like where you’re going with this.
Ike： ②I’m digging where this is going too.
Tina： Are you talking about the party？ Or...
Ike： ③I’m talking about all sorts of things I’m loving right now. And you are the crème de la crème .
Tina： Tell me how much you love me.
Ike： Hmmm...Let me 7）contemplate on that for a second. I uh...
Tina： C’mon！ Is it so hard？
Ike： I just wanna say this without you taking it the wrong way.
Tina： What am I gonna take the wrong way？
Ike： Nothing. I just， you know， like what we’ve got going on right now between us， and I don’t want things to change.
Tina： Me too. I just love you too much I guess， is that it？ Or maybe you don’t love me at all？
Ike： I love being with you， baby. I just don’t know anything about love at all. I think I might love you. Is that close enough？
Tina： ④When you’re in love， you know it straight away. Like love at first sight.
Ike： Tina， we are not caught up in some 8）rom-com here.
Tina： ⑤But we’ve reached that point in the relationship when it’s time to 9）sift through all our 10）baggage and figure out， when push comes to shove， what we both want.
Ike： ⑥Why do we need to put a label or a definition on everything？
Tina： ⑦I’m not asking for the moon here.
Ike： I don’t know what you want me to tell you.
Tina： Grrrr...Getting you to discuss our relationship is always like pulling teeth.
Ike： I just don’t like publicizing my feelings for the world to see！
Tina： I couldn’t care less about what most people think， but my family and friends are always asking about my plans for the future， and if I see you as a part of those plans. They wanna know if you’re in it for the long haul. And， quite honestly， I never know what to tell them. Ike： Do I make you happy？
Tina： You know you do. Most of the time...
Ike： Well， you make me happier than I ever thought possible. You know I had a rough childhood， and you’re one of the few people I ever told about how bad it got back in the 11）ghetto.
Tina： Well， I never expected to find a fellow 12）juvie kid at such a 13）prestigious university.
Ike： I...Maybe us meeting was fate after all. Cuz I， sure as hell， never expected to fall in love with some girl I found cheating off me in history class. Tina： I told you I wasn’t chea...You fell in love with me？
Ike： I did. I mean， I do. Love you. I—love you.
Tina： Aw， Okay. I love you too. But the question remains： How much do you love me？
Ike： I—Grrrrrrrr...
Smart Sentences① And I could think of a dozen or so themes right off the top of my head.我能够马上想到一大堆的派对主题。
