Kevin,
I owe you so much. Way back when I was just a wee lad of 17 (two years ago ;) there was this girl that I really liked, but being the then shy boy I had no way of expressing that. So we continued to be friends and just hung out all the time. We became very close, but still, I could not put myself at risk to ask her out. Then I saw "Chasing Amy". The monologue that Holden says in the car to Alyssa spoke everything that I needed to say to the girl (sans the gay part). Since I am an actor I wrote down the Monologue and memorized it. The next day I went up to the girl and asked her to watch me do my new "audition piece". I did the whole thing (sans the gay part) and watched her reaction to it. At the end she looked up and asked if that was meant for her. I told her it was and she burst into tears. To make a long story short, we got together and are still. I don't know how much I can thank you for giving me the words that gave me the love of my life.
Humbley Yours,
Ben Dunn
P.S. My friends and I are planning on making a journey to Mecca..er.. Red Bank this summer. If anything hust to visit the Stash!
Kevin, again, Thank You!
