Just finished watching 'Meet the Parents', you know the film, with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro? There's one scene in that film that stands out for me most, and it's when Greg / Gaylord, finally proposes to Pam? I dunno, there's just something so sweet about this scene. Here's a guy who for the rest of the film has totally turned his girlfriends family against him by setting the house on fire, by losing their cat and trying to fob them off with an imposter by spraypainting a lookalike cats tail black, and by convincing Robert De Niro that he 'puffs the Magic Dragon'. And yet in this one scene, she forgets all of this because it doesn't matter to her Greg's downfalls of the weekend, but that she loves him. And when he finally tells her how much she means to him... I guess i'm just a sucker for the romantic side of things, but I love it. it's a beautiful dialogue, and i'd even go so far as saying i'm envious. I'd love for one day to be able to put across such a speech to the girl of my dreams. To genuinely tell her that she means so much to me, and that I could never see myself with any other woman but her, because of how she makes me feel and because of how much I love her. To finally be able to whip out 'the ring', and hope that she gives that magical answer of yes. I say it like it's only me who dreams of such a scenario, but I guess not many of us are that vocal on our dreams. We should be. We only get the one stab at this. Say what you want to say, and tell us what you want. Just because you're honest doesn't mean you're 'different', but that you're genuine. It's a remarkable trait, and one that we should all adopt, instead of placing monikers upon ourselves in the hope that one day we will be accepted.

I don't know what the point of the above is. I guess it just goes to show that 'Meet The Parents' CAN have a profound effect on one... and you've gotta admit, that car race scene is fucking hilarious. :D
