Mandy Moore: Halley Martin

How to Deal

Halley Martin

Macon: So do you hate me?
Halley: Not you, per se. I hate the way that your hair falls in your face. And I hate the way that your voice gets really low when you're serious.
[Macon bites lower lip]
Halley: And I hate the way that you bite your bottom lip when you're nervous. And the way your eyebrow goes
[whistles and motions with hand]
Halley: like that. I hate that.
Macon: So that's it? You just hate the way I walk and talk and look.
Halley: No. That Jedi mind trick thing? I hate that.

Macon: You're going to move closer to me so I can wrap my arms around your waist. And on the count of 3... 2... 1
[kisses]
Macon: You're a good kisser.
Halley: You tricked me. You Jedi Mind Tricked me.

Halley: I imagine star wars figurines must be expensive
Macon: I don't have Star Wars figurines... well, not many. But I don't play with them... much.

Macon: Dun, Dun, Dun. Stand back. Leaf man to the rescue.
Halley: Where did you get that?
Macon: Well you know a guy's gotta pay for gas and bacon burgers somehow right?
Halley: And toys because I imagine star wars figurines must get pretty expensive.
Macon: I do not have any star wars figurines... well... not many. And I don't play with them... much

Halley: The quickest way to ruin a relationship with someone is to actually try to have a relationship with them.

Halley: Oh my god, no, no, no, I can not believe I didn't tell you this. The bimbo almost died of strangulation. Her wedding veil took on a life of its own and rebelled, and she had to like claw her way out and you know that woman could claw mom. It was so sad it was like, near death by wedding veil. So tragic isn't it?

Halley: Let's just think of the day my parents divorce went through as "Big Ugly Hat Day".

Lorna Queen: Well... look at you Halley.
Halley: That's hard to do without a mirror isn't it?
Lorna Queen: Honey you keep getting prettier every day.
Halley: I have no idea how you could say that because you definitely don't see me every day. And yesterday, oh my God I was so ugly. And last Wednesday, that sucked too, so it's kind of a day to day thing.

Macon: Hey I'm back
Halley: you really don't get it do you? and I don't want to wait for you to grow up.

Macon: When I ask you to go out with me this Friday night you're gonna think you're the one asking me because you're gonna say 'yes Macon, I would love to go out with you because I know we'll have a totally great time together. In fact, I'd been hoping you'd ask me all week.'
Halley: You wanna go out on a date with me?
Macon: See, I told you you'd ask me.

Halley: First, you're going to take three steps towards me so you can put your hands on my waist. Then you're going to kiss me in 3... 2...
[kisses]

Macon: Your afraid to go out with me because you might actually like me?
Halley: No... but that's a good theory I guess if you want to protect your fragile male ego because you can't handle rejection.

Halley: Oh Macon, I think I like you too much already to actually go out with you.
Macon: What kind of logic is that?
Halley: It's logical logic. Haven't you ever noticed that when two members of the opposite sex get together eventually someone ends up getting hurt?

Halley: You have to learn to walk. You have to learn to talk. You have to wear that totally ridiculous hat your grandma bought you. You have no say in the matter. And when you get a little older, even though you get to choose your hats, you don't get to choose what they put in those meatballs in the cafeteria, or when to fall in love. Sometimes things happens and you just have to deal.
