script
Amy: I know I have a picture of Louis here. Where is it? Oh, here it is.
Erica: Wow! He is so handsome! He looks like a Greek statue.
Amy: Yes, he is very attractive. But I didn't think so when I first met him.
Erica: You didn't?
Amy: No. Do you know what I noticed when I first met him? His hands are really hairy.
Erica: What?
Amy: Yes. His hands are really hairy. Besides, his clothes are much more fashionable than I usually like. He is not my type. Most importantly, he is shorter than me.
Erica: Then how did you go out with him?
Amy: Well, he is really cute and interesting. I am very comfortable with him. He conquered me with his personality on our first date.
Really? How?
Amy: He is really easy to talk to.
Erica: But if all these things bother you, about his hands and all …
Amy: Well, you know, when I get to know him better, none of this matters. His personality and the way we get along let me know clearly that he is "that person"
Erica: So, when is the big day?
