Tom Hansen:
Lies, we're liars think about it, why do people buy these
things? It's not because they wanna say how they feel, people
buy cards cause they can't say how they feel or they're
afraid too. We provide the service that lets them off the
hook.
You know what? I say to hell with it. Lets level with America at
least let them speak for themselves right I mean look, look. What
is this, what does this say? "Congratulations on your new
baby." How bout "congratulations on your new baby,
guess that's it for hanging out, nice knowing ya." How
bout this one? With all the pretty hearts on the front, I think I
know where this ones going. Yup "Happy Valentines Day
sweetheart, I love you."
Isn't that sweet? Ain't love grand? This is exactly what
I'm talking about. What does that even mean, love? Do you
know? Do you? Anybody?
If somebody gave me this card Mr. Vance, I'd eat it.
It's these cards, and the movies and the pop songs,
they're to blame for all the lies and the heartache,
everything.
We're responsible. I'M responsible. I think we do a bad
thing here.
People should be able to say how they feel, how they really feel,
not ya know, some words that some stranger put in their
mouth.
Words like love, that don't mean
anything.
