MP: “What?” J: “They say it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Do you believe that’s true?” MP: “If you’re lonely, call a 900 number.” J: “Did you read my book?” MP: “I skimmed through it. You paint a pretty sad picture.” J: “I just write the way I see it. How did we end up like this?” MP: “Like what?” J: “Alone, searching. It’s ironic, because we both want the same things. Someone to care about, someone to care about us. Do you think we’ll ever find the kind of love in our lives?” MP: “What the hell do you want from me Jarod?” J: “Open the box…” …BE MY VALENTINE… [THE PRETENDER - 2x11 Gigolo Jarod]
She felt consumed by a great void, a dark and silent abyss as terrifying as the grand palace around her. But somewhere in the chilling blackness she caught a glimpse of a light. She remembered a time, the precocious little girl with a heart full of fire, a soul inflamed by passion and a smile that could melt winter into spring. But the light was gone, the flame had died. Her past was taken from her by the soldiers of the great palace. she would continue searching, hoping to rekindle the fire. Until then, she would always be…the Saddest Little Valentine.
[THE PRETENDER - 2x11 Gigolo Jarod] …Happy Valentine’s Day…

I’d like to choose this wonderful song as MPJ’s theme.
I know, it’s not. You can hear it in S3E12 too, while Tommy and MP have lunch together.
But please, just let me dream about it. <3

What did I just say about the love theme?! *_*
How could anyone possibly say that these two don’t belong together?
That’s madness!!!
Sydney: This is Sydney. Jarod: Why do people fall in love? Sydney: You might as well ask why the stars come out at night. Jarod: Everyone spends their whole life searching for that special someone, that person to love. But when they finally find them, it all falls apart. Sydney: It’s a paradox, isn’t it? But I believe it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Jarod: So, you believe that love is worth fighting for? That it’s worth the pain and the effort? Sydney: Is that what you were trying to say in the romance novel you left for Miss Parker? Jarod: The book speaks for itself Sydney. [THE PRETENDER - S2E11 - GIGOLO JAROD] You all know I particularly love this episode. I can’t have enough of these scenes.
This is one of my fave scenes ever. Everything is perfect.
And it’s the only time we can hear the love theme playing for MPJ… *_*
Jarod: Uh, one more question. Foreman: Shoot. Jarod: Valentine’s Day. Specifically, Cupid. Foreman: Yeah? Jarod: A corpulent infant who happens to be an archer goes around shooting arrows into people, and suddenly they’re in love? Foreman: That’s about it. Jarod: And to show that love people buy each other chocolates and other sweets. Do they wanna be fat like the infant? [2x11 Gigolo Jarod]
Probably fave ‘NOOB-JARODISM’ ever… (Check my post ‘Jarodisms? for an explanation)
