the dream of someone else

I was watching "You've Got Mail" on cable, and in Meg Ryan and Greg Kinnear's cordial breakup scene (they were breaking up over dinner and laughter), Greg Kinnear's character mentioned he had someone else. And he asked Meg Ryan's character (Kathleen Kelly) if she had someone else too. And after a slight pause, a dreamy smile, she said, "No. But I have that dream of someone else."

A toast to the holiday season, and cable TV showing mushy romantic movies.

Merry Christmas!
