Funny! I see you're quite the Wedding Crashers connoisseur. lol!
How about this one:
True love is the soul's recognition of its counterpart in another.
But even better, the convo with Vaughn trying to convince Owen to crash weddings. It went something like this:
Vaughn: What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season? [Jeremy raises his hand] Mr. Grey?
Owen: Yes. The answer would be, um, Wedding Season?
Vaughn: Bingo! I'm gonna get my suit. Now, who are we this time?
Hi there dR (um how dyou type that character) -
Nice one, I remember the scene - how he pulls it off without looking ridiculous i dont know. That trio, well.... twas a blast!
While we're still quoting, here's one from Owen Wilson as himself when asked why most of his characters end up dying:
“It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it."
That's hilarious! See, you done did it now - gotta go watch that movie again!
That 'R' character? Hit me up on email & I'll send you a pdf on how to type up all those funky characters.
