(2... 3... 4...)
So, um, how was your weekend? ... Mine too.
So, what are you doing this weekend? Um...
Hypothetic’ly, would you go out with me,
if I asked you today -- in a hypothetical way?
‘Cause metaphoric’ly, you are the air that I breathe--
like, I need you ev’ry day ... well, not literally ev’ry day ...
I mean, I breathe more than once a day ... just, whatd’ya say?
(2... 3... 4...)
So, um, do you like sci-fi movies? ... Oh, well, I do ...
Like, “Star Wars”
is pretty cool because it pioneered a bunch of special effects
and introduced the “Hero’s Journey” story structure to modern cinema,
but if you mean, like, hard sci-fi, I would ... Um...
Hypothetic’ly, would you see a movie with me,
if I knew how to say the words exactly that way?
‘Cause rather frequently, I get off-topic quickly
and end up rambling away ... but I was saying ... oh our date!
Well, not necessarily “a date” ... so, whatd’ya say?
Hypothetic’ly, theoretic’ly,
I mean, like, possibly, or even plausibly,
would you potentially, or tentatively --
I mean if there’s anything more than, like, a zero percent chance that we --
like, that is, like, you and me -- or like, I guess it could also be ...
Oh, yeah, I should probably get to class too ... I’ll see you later!
... ... La-da-da da-da-daa.
... ... La-da-da da-da-daa.
La-da-da-da da-da-da da-da-daa, la-da-da da-da-daa.
... ... Would you go out with me?
