Lori: Yeah I know. That was just...wrong.
Matt: I- I had fun last night.
Narrator: Yeah 'cuz you got laid. I just hope you don't go thinkin' less of me, she thought to herself.
Matt: Did you?
Narrator: Well, yeah, seeing how you satisfied my EVERY need, she thought.
Lori: Yeah, I had fun last night. (long pause) I just hope you don't go thinking less of me, Matt.
Matt: No way in hell. That will NEVER happen.
Lori: It better not.
Narrator: He kissed her and then backed away, whispering 'I love you' in her ear.
Lori: I love you, too, baby.

Matt: I want you to be.
Lori: Matt.....
Matt: Yeah babe?

Matt: Yeah, I'll be your boyfriend.
Lori: Sweet.
Matt: Almost just as sweet as you.
Lori: I love you.
Matt: I love you, too.
Lori: What are we gonna do about our friends though? Now they're gonna think that we ARE having sex.
Matt: Don't even worry about them. They're gonna think what they wanna think. Only we will know the truth. (pause) And we didn't just have sex. We made love.
Lori: I was hoping you'd say that.
Matt: Hoping I'd say what? That it wasn't just some one night stand type of deal and that it wasn't just sex....we made love?
Lori: Yeah.
Matt: I love you Lorr...I knew I wasn't just getting...well...I wanted to make love to you. I wanted to be--- intimate with you. I wanted to make that commitment to you. Baby girl, I love you more than anything.
Lori: You're so sweet.
Matt: You're really sweet, too.
Lori: I try.
Matt: What do you wanna do tonight?
Lori: We could rent a movie.
Matt: OK. Good idea. Sounds like a plan to me.
Lori: Really?
Matt: Yeah really. Lorr, I don't want you thinking that everytime we're together now that I'm gonna start thinking that I'm gonna get lucky everytime and that we're gonna make love everytime we're together. I just wanna be with you.
Lori: You really mean that?
Matt: Last night was incredible. I'm not gonna risk losing you because I can't control my hormones or whatever. I love you. I am not gonna risk losing you.
Lori: Yeah, last night was incredible. And Matt...
Matt: Yeah?
Lori: (grinning) You might get lucky every day. Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see and just...take day by day.
Matt: Yeah. You're right, but Lorr, don't feel you have to. I'll still be with you....no matter what.
Lori: I am the luckiest girl alive.
Matt: Yeah, I'm a pretty lucky guy, too. I have to admit.
Lori: Why do you say that?
Matt: Because I got you.
Lori: And I got you.
