Gil Shepherd Tell him that you don't love him. Tell him you can't love him. He's fictional. You wanna waste your time with a fictional character? I mean, you're a sweet girl. You deserve an actual human.

Cecilia But, but Tom's perfect.

Gil Shepherd Yeah, but he's not real. What good is perfect if a man's not real?

Tom Baxter I can learn to be real. It's easy. You know, there's nothing to it, and being real comes very naturally to me.

Gil Shepherd Can't learn to be real. It's like learning to be a midget. It's not a thing you can learn. Some of us are real, some are not.

Tom Baxter I say I can do it.

(and then:)

Cecilia I just met a wonderful new man. He's fictional, but you can't have everything.
