Well, we've heard Hare's two cents on dating, but does anyone else have any tips for us?
The Skull: None that you should listen to.
The Jack: Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; she passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; but I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
Locksmith: Well spoken, dear Jack. It would appear you do pay me mind when I read. Poetry is assuredly the route of a suitor of class; though if one is of insufficient skill to compose their own work, expressing the unique affections burgeoning from their amorous soul, can one really say they are ready for such a relationship?
Mr. Weed: … You’re sayin’ you need a creative writin’ degree before you should be datin’?
Locksmith: A degree is unnecessary. But they say communication is the foundation of healthful romance. And poetry is communication utilizing the very heart of language.
Mr. Weed: … I don’t think that’s what that means.
Locksmith: And what experience do you have in this arena? Care to share with our petitioners?
Mr. Weed: They don’t wanna know and I don’t wanna talk about it.
The Skull: And I’d sooner jump in the bay than deal with any of this crap.
The Skull: I don’t know what you were expecting. Not like any of us have ever made somethin’ work.

Dee: Move slowly.
Dee: Move… gingerly.
Dee: See each other in whole before you go gettin’ hitched. See ‘em mad. See ‘em low. Both of you, see the worst in each other, and if you can say they’re still the one– put in the work.
Dee: ‘Cause you see, it’s work, in the end, not just sugar an’ kisses. You take care of each other, as much as you do yourself, through the messes and the tragedy. But if you can do all that, and you go to bed feelin’ like your work was worth it… you might just get to die next to a lover and not just another warm body.
Dee: …
Dee: And don’t be a [bleep]ing jackass.
