“Dear Jordana,
Thank you for letting me explore your perfect body. I could drink your blood. You’re the only person I would allow to be shrunk down into a microscopic size and swim inside me in a tiny submersible machine. We’ve lost our virginity but it wasn’t like losing anything. You’re too good for me. You’re too good for anyone.
Sincerely, Oliver” -Submarine
“One of the biggest lies Hollywood sells is that if you simply find the right person, every day of your life will be the greatest. But where that makes a great ending for a romantic comedy—or even, honestly, the original Office—it’s something that television struggles with, because there’s always the question of what happens next. In real life, love makes things more bearable, but it doesn’t singlehandedly provide fulfillment in every single aspect of life. Finding the right person can provide contentment and solace, but it doesn’t mean that you’re automatically fulfilled. The Office might have too frequently suggested on the surface that, say, Jim and Pam’s relationship had made both of them as happy as they could ever possibly be, but it always kept that tension between the two different forms of fulfillment bubbling along in the subtext. “
