I know we can make this relationship work

I watched Grosse Pointe Blank last night for the first time in ages. God, I love that film.

A fabulous choice of film!

What I love is that there is so much imagination and humour in the film that lines like these can be played almost as throwaways, because even if you don't catch one, there'll be another showstopper along in a minute.

And some of the situations are just so brilliantly conceived - like having him working with a terrified psychiatrist.

Dr: Martin, I'm emotionally involved with you.
Martin: How are you emotionally involved with me?
Dr: I'm afraid of you.

Superb.
