Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yes, but there have been many shows like that which didn't stick. I suppose they had the advantage of being on The WB.

The Body made me cry. That was it.
The Prom made me cry (in a good way). "I can't breathe, Will".

you know, I think that I'll have to try both of them and let you know. I mean, I'd do that for the Buffistas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If they were both equally available for ravishing, I don't think I'd be making a choice.
