A Dialogue Roleplay

Carrie - Hello!
Charles - Hi! God, you're wet! Come in!
Carrie - No, no, I'm fine. I'm so wet that I can't get any wetter. Do you know what I mean?
Charles- OK
Carrie - No, please don't! I just wanted to see if you were all right. I wanted to make sure t hat you weren't killing yourself or anything. It was wrong of me to come to t he church this morning. I'm sorry. I can see that your're OK, so I'd better go now.
Charles - No, wait, I'm to blame, not you. I behaved really badly today. But I'm sure about on think now: marriage is not right for me at all. And I learned another thing. When I was standing there in the church, I realized for the first time that I totally completely love one person, with all my heart. And that person wasn't my bride. It's the person who's here with me now, in the rain.
Carrie - It is still raining? I didn't notice!
Charles - In fact, I've loved you since the first minute I saw you. You're not suddenly going away again, are you?
Carrie - No, I might be washed away by the rain, but I'm not going away again.
Charles - OK, OK, we'll go back in. But first, can I ask you one thing? Do you think that you could agree not marry me? After we've got dry again, of course. And after we've spent lots of time together. Do you think that you could agree not be married to me, for the rest if your life? Do you?
Carrie - I do

Personal Opinion

Four Weddings and a Funeral is a wonderful movie. Romantic comedies often throw people off because they tend to be cheesy or depressingly sugar-coated. However, this is a truly wonderful movie.
First off, the cast is terrific. They play off of each other wonderfully and it makes for a delightful atmosphere. Just take the lead, Hugh Grant, whose character doesn't appear fit the stereotypical lead at all. The humor is very witty, and the jokes are guaranteed to make you laugh even after you've seen the movie a dozen times.
Situations in the movie are set up to be played out perfectly. In one scene Hugh Grant is at a wedding and is seated with all of his ex-girlfriends. The scene is set up for utter humiliation.
Even with the quick-witted characters, and all the weddings, it wouldn't be a movie without that touch of drama that for many might just get a tear out of them.
Hands down all around great movie to fit most every occasion.
