"When you first meet somebody, you find out they like you, first of all. A friend of a friend of theirs says he or she really, really likes you. And it kills you, floors you, sends you through the ground, that you gotta pick yourself off the ground. Then when you get their phone number you call them up, right . .and you say, "Yeah, this is a really good phone conversation; can I see you sometime?" And they say this, "I`d like that." I`d like that makes you fall on the floor again, your heart`s about to stop because of I`d like that. Nothing feels better than I`d like that. So now your blood pressure`s going, you`re six feet off the ground, you can`t sleep because of I`d like that. So then, you hang out for a while and you call and you talk on the phone for a long time, and then you drop the bomb (It feels like the bomb) and you say, "You know what? I`ve been thinking about you a lot" and she does this big sigh of amazement and you go, "What happened?"; she goes, "I`m sorry, I`ve just, I just, that`s...I`ve been thinking about you too."
BAM! Higher in the sky, but now I`d like that - done. Now you`re up to I`m thinking about you. Then, however number of months pass, which makes you feel comfortable saying it, you say, "I gotta tell you something." And they go, "What?" And you go, "I`m in love with you" and nothing in the world sounds better than I`m in love with you. And then, maybe, she starts crying and maybe he chokes up. And then all of a sudden you`re like I`m in; but now what doesn`t work...I`d like that and I`ve been thinking about you. Now we`re in I`m in love with you. Then maybe someday you`ll move up to I love you. Fast forward now you`re like, "I love you a lot, I love you more than anything in life" Now I love you doesn`t work; there`s a threshold of words that keeps moving up.
Fast forward, like, six months, six weeks, whatever the case may be..now you`re like, "I wanna marry you, I wanna impregnate you with my love, I wanna, I wanna just send my love to you" Dammit, words don`t work anymore and then you say this line and you know you`ve used this line before, "I`d just wish they put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love, `cause love just doesn`t describe how I feel." And so then, now he or she starts asking, "Do you love me?" and you start going, "Of course I love you." and she says, "Say it twice, say it three times." And then, you cross a really interesting point where all of a sudden it becomes, "I hate you, I hate you." and you`re, Oh my God, she hates me. and now it`s at, "I hate you more than anything!" and then it`s like, "We`re over!" and they go, "No we`re not!" and you go, "Yes we are!" Now the words do not completely work at all, you`re left with nothing. You`re throwing punches under water, you`re done. You know what the moral of that story is? If there is one. Never, ever, ever, ever underestimate the power of 'I`d like that'."
