Cathy's Valentine (1989 TV Movie)

Loren Dunsworth: Lisa

Quotes 

• Minister : Ross and Lisa have asked to say a few special words to each other. Ross?

  Ross : [sighing]  Well - a few minutes ago, I was bailing out my best friend because the cab driver wouldn't take credit cards. He's one of those guys who only buys gas a gallon at a time and - and never carries cash. Why, it used to make me *crazy* until Lisa said that if he's the kind of guy who's always getting stuck, why don't you just be the kind of guy who always has his wallet with him? Lisa taught me a lot about being a friend, but that it only works when you start loving the person who's there, not the one you imagined. By letting me be who I am... Lisa, you've let me believe that I could be anything, and that together, we can be everything.

  [exhales briefly] 

  Ross : I love you.

  [we see Cathy sob at the scene while the other guests and Irving stare at her in horror] 

  Lisa : I used to study all these books about how a relationship should work - and - then used that as an excuse for not getting involved when things didn't go exactly like the plan. You were wise enough to know I was just a little afraid, Ross. After all these years of studying how to win a man's heart, you were the first to let me see what I really wanted to learn was how to trust having my own heart won. You're a valentine I want for my whole life, Ross.

  [we see Irving cry briefly at the scene, then cough and clear his throat] 

  Minister : Ross and Lisa, I'm proud and happy to pronounce you husband and wife.
