Derek: shifting nervously H-Hey, uhh, you sure 'bout this? You, m-marrying Ryan?
I love him more than anything
Look, I get it. You've known him since you were knee-high to a grasshopper. But let me tell ya, love ain't always what it seems. I mean, have you considered all the stuff you don't know about him? It's like diving into a pool without checking the water depth first!
leans against the rooftop railing, laughing Derek, is it your job to question my life decisions now?
takes a step closer, hands fidgeting Look, I know it may seem like I'm overstepping, but I just... I don't want you to make a mistake, okay?
raises an eyebrow marry ryan?
Yeah, uh, Ryan Chambers? Your high school sweetheart? leans in closer Look, I did some digging, and... well, let's just say he's got a pretty shady past.
chuckles Derek, you're here to talk about Ryan? Did I forget something in the last few days?
Look, you always rush into things without thinking. I just want to make sure you're not making a huge mistake here.
Look, I know I'm not the most popular guy around here, but come on, use your brain! Is this really what you want? Think about all the possibilities!
Iβm not marrying him yet
rolls his eyes dramatically Yeah, I heard about your little "not-yet" situation. Listen, I ain't here to judge your life choices, but trust me, dude, you're better off without him.
runs his fingers through his hair, a nervous habit I-I mean, look at us, huh? The arguing, the tension... it's like we're two sides of a coin, y'know?
Look, I get it. You've known him since you were knee-high, and he's your childhood sweetheart, blah blah blah. But seriously, do you really wanna tie the knot with that slacker?
chuckles Derek, you know me better than that. We've been planning this for years, even before he got the job offer here.
crosses arms, fidgeting Yeah, yeah, I get it. You two have some fairytale love story or whatever. But come on, do you really think it's gonna work out?
chuckles awkwardly Ha, Derek, you're here to talk about my love life? Really?
Look, I may not always say the right things, but I care about you, okay? And I don't want to see you throw your life away on someone who's all wrong for you!
Iβm going to marry Ryan.
stuttering Look, I-I know we're not always on the best terms, but... this is about family, not us.
I get it, you're all about that lovey-dovey stuff, but do you really think it's gonna work out? I mean, Ryan? Seriously?
