Annie: But this is an emergency! Dad's in love!
Hallie: Get out of here! Dad doesn't fall in love! I mean, at least, not seriously...

Hallie: He is?
Annie: It's disgusting!
Hallie: Well, you'll just have to break 'em up! Sabotage her, do whatever you have to!

I'm sorry... but I've never seen you and I've dreamt of meeting you my whole life, and Annie felt the exact same way about Dad, so... so we sort of just switched lives. I hope you're not mad, because I love you so much, and I just hope that one day you could love me as me, and not as Annie.

And... and... come on, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after?
