The Greatest Love of All.
Patrick Bateman: Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christie?
Elizabeth: [laughing] You actually listen to Whitney Houston? You own a Whitney Houston CD? More than one?
Patrick Bateman: It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

Peggy + Pete.
Peggy: Why are you still here, Trudy must be worried?
Pete: What is it with you? You never let me talk about what I want to talk about.
Peggy: Well, what do you want to talk about?
Pete: About what you said about the truth...Can I tell you the truth?
Peggy: Why wouldn't you?
Pete: You make it so hard.
Peggy: What are you talking about?
Pete: You. (pause) I've been thinking about everything that's going on. And who would care if I was gone? I mean, Trudy would care but she doesn't know me. But you do. And I know you. And I think you're perfect.
Peggy: I'm not perfect Pete.
Pete: Yes you are. I wish I'd picked you then.
Peggy: Pete.
Pete: I love you. And I want to be with you. What? Didn't you know that?
Peggy: Pete. I could've had you in my life forever if I wanted to.
Pete: What do you mean.
Peggy: I could've had you. I could've shamed you into being with me. But I didn't want to.
Pete: I don't understand.
Peggy: You got me pregnant. I had a baby and I gave it away.
Pete: What?
Peggy: I had your baby. And I gave it away.
Pete: Are you serious? You can't be serious.
Peggy: I wanted other things.
Pete: I don't understand.
Peggy: Well one day you're there and then all of a sudden there's less of you. And you wonder where that part went...if its living somewhere ,outside of you, and you keep thinking 'maybe you'll get it back' and then you realize, its just gone.
Pete: Why would you tell me that?
Peggy: I'm sorry Pete.
[Best scene in Mad Men to date. This was so powerful, so relatable, so real. Perfection.]

So sad :( Spring Awakening is a definite must-see. Just don’t go with your parents or on a first date, I found that to be slightly awkward. Go with your friends. Any of mine up for seeing it one more time before it ends?

HSM3 mania continues.
Me: I can't believe HSM3 is sold out!
Nick (my brother): I can't believe you are still talking about that stupid show.
Me: It is not a show, its a film, and it grosses like $100 million so how bad can it be?
Nick (my brother): Bad logic, Sarah. The entire world has beef with America because of the stupid shit we spend our money on.
