Preteen Clare: What’s wrong?
Older Henry: Nothing. Memories.
Preteen Clare: Because of the song?
Henry’s dad: Why do you say stupid things like that? Why can’t you just tell the truth?
Teen Henry: You kissed her in the rain, mom –the very first time. You stood outside her apartment building, and when you walked inside, you did a little dance. You didn’t think anyone could see you. You were wrong. I could see you. I’m a time traveler and saw my parent’s first kiss.
I’m here now, and I’m who you come home to, and I’m never going to let anyone keep you away from me. That was I love you in more words.
Clare
Always remember Henry, the marriage is about two people. The wedding is about one woman, and you are marrying her daughter.
Henry’s dad
Henry’s dad: Everyone flips out at their wedding.
Henry: When I flip out, I end up naked at a hoedown in 1987. I need something that will calm me down for the whole day and not turn me into a zombie.
I know you won’t. I know we’re married in the future.
Clare
28-year-old Henry: I’m changing this!
