Plot
Two things about Jane: she never says no to her friends (she's been a bridesmaid 27 times and selflessly plans friends' weddings), and she's in love with her boss, George, nurturing dreams of a lovely, romantic wedding of her own. She meets Kevin, a cynical writer who finds her attractive, and that same week her flirtatious younger sister Tess comes to town. Jane silently watches George fall for Tess, a manipulative pretender. Worse, Jane may be called upon to plan their wedding. Meanwhile, Kevin tries to get Jane's attention and has an idea that may advance his career. Can Jane uncork her feelings?

This January, always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
She's about to find the perfect fit.
Tess: [about their childhood dog] Not a day goes by that I don't think about that bag of fleas. Good old Tory.::George: Hey, Jane, how come you never mentioned Tory?::Jane: I don't know. I guess I repressed the memory of *Toby*.::Tess: Yeah, his name was Toby, but I called him Tory because I had a lisp.::Jane: A lisp that turned your B's to R's?
Jane: [after spending a drunken night with Kevin] I just want you to know, I never do this.::Kevin: Oh, I know.::Jane: No, really. I never, never do this.::Kevin: No, really, I know. Last night, you kept saying it over and over again: "I never do this", "I *never* do this", "I never *do* this"...::Jane: Okay. I just wanted you to know.
Kevin: [motions to a "Gone With the Wind"-style dress] What the hell is that?::Jane: Theme wedding.::Kevin: What was the theme? Humiliation?
Kevin: What color is that - vomit?
Kevin: What about you? You don't have any needs?::Jane: No. I'm Jesus.
Jane: Can you please find somebody else to be creepy with?
Kevin: [helping Jane practice saying no] Jane, give me fifty bucks.::Jane: No!::Kevin: Jane, it's fifty bucks. I'll pay you back.::Jane: No.::Kevin: [takes Jane's hand] Jane... I *need* you to give me fifty bucks.::Jane: [hesitantly] No?::Kevin: Eh... not bad. Can I have your drink?::Jane: Sure.::[beat]::Jane: No! Oh, no...::Kevin: [laughing] You were doing so well!
Jane: Oh, I'm a really... very good caulker.::Kevin: [into recorder] Likes caulk.
Kevin: You'd rather focus on other people's Kodak moments than make memories of your own!
Kevin: Wait, what are those?::Jane: [nervous] Nothing.::Kevin: Are those...?::Jane: No!::Kevin: Are they bridesmaid dresses?::Jane: This is none of your business!::Kevin: Oh... good God. What, you kept them all? You have a whole closetful? Why?::Jane: I have a lot of friends and I like to keep them.::Kevin: [snickering] Right. Well, that makes complete sense because they're... *beautiful*.::Jane: Some of them are not that bad.::Kevin: Not that bad? I'd like to see one of them that's not that bad.

What do you see when you look at it.::David: Me.::Sophie: Yes, that's not quite what I meant. You have to look at paintings diffently from the way you look at other things. More closely and see what it says to you.::[pause]::Sophie: Well... when I look at the boy in that painting, I see a very intelligent, very serious person, and a good person, but - there's something about the eyes and the face that seems lost and sad. But that's as far as I can see, because he doesn't want to let the world see any further.::David: Do you really see all that?::Sophie: [laughs] Yes. Yes, I do.
David: [holding Sopie's cat] She's so soft. And she's vibrating.::Sophie: She's purring, David.

A baker is someone who bakes and sells bread, Cakes and similar foods may also be produced, as the traditional boundaries between what is produced by a baker as opposed to a pastry chef have blurred in recent decades. The place where a baker works is called a bakery.
The first group of people to bake bread were ancient Egyptians, around 8000 BC. During the Middle Ages it was common for each landlord to have a bakery, which was actually a public oven; Housewives would bring dough that they had prepared to the baker, who would tend the oven and bake them into bread. As time went on, bakers would also sell their own goods, and in that some bakers acted dishonestly, tricks emerged: for example, a baker would have trap door(s) in the oven or other obscured areas, that would allow a hidden small boy or other apprentice to take off some of the dough brought in for baking. Then the dishonest baker would sell bread made with the stolen dough as their own. This practice and others eventually lead to the famous regulation known as Assize of Bread and Ale, which prescribed harsh penalties for bakers that were found cheating their clients or customers. As a safeguard against cheating, under-filled orders, or any appearance of impropriety, bakers commonly began to throw in one more loaf of bread; this tradition now exists in the phrase "baker's dozen", which is 13.
Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and singer.
In the 1950s, Baker earned much attention and critical praise, particularly for albums featuring his vocals, such as Chet Baker Sings. Jazz historian David Gelly descibed the promise of Baker's early career as seemingly representing "James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix, rolled into one." However, his "well-publicized drug habit" also drove his notoriety and fame, as Baker was in-and-out of jail for much of his life before enjoying a career resurgence in the late 1970s and '80s.
Baker died in 1988 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Baker was born and raised in a musical household in Yale, Oklahoma; his father was a professional guitar player. Baker began his musical career singing in a church choir. His father introduced him to brass instruments with a trombone, which was replaced with a trumpet when the trombone proved too large.
Baker received some musical education at Glendale Junior High School, but left school at age 16 in 1946 to join the United States Army. He was posted to Berlin where he joined the 298th Army band. Leaving the army in 1948, he studied theory and harmony at El Camino College in Los Angeles. He dropped out in his second year, however, re-enlisting in the army in 1950. Baker became a member of the Sixth Army Band at the Presidio in San Francisco, but was soon spending time in San Francisco jazz clubs such as Bop City and the Black Hawk. Baker once again obtained a discharge from the army to pursue a career as a professional musician.
Cyril Jackson (1746–1819) was Dean of Christ Church, Oxford 1783–1809.
Jackson was born in Yorkshire, and educated at Manchester Grammar School, Westminster School and the University of Oxford. In 1771 he was chosen to be sub-preceptor to the two eldest sons of King George III, but in 1776 he was dismissed, probably through some household intrigues. He then took orders, and was appointed in 1779 to the preachership at Lincoln’s Inn and to a canonry at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1783 he was elected dean of Christ Church. His devotion to the college led him to decline the Bishopric of Oxford in 1799 (which was instead taken by his younger brother William) and the Primacy of All Ireland in 1800. He took a leading part in framing the statute which, in 1802, launched the system of public examinations at the University of Oxford, but otherwise he was not prominent in university affairs.
On his resignation in 1809 he settled at Felpham, in Sussex, where he remained till his death. He was buried in Felpham churchyard.
Anthony Frank "Tony" Hawk (born May 12, 1968), nicknamed "The Birdman" is an American professional skateboarder and actor. Hawk gained significant fame for completing the first 900 as well as his licensed video game titles distributed by Activision. He is widely considered one of the most successful and influential pioneers of modern vertical skateboarding.
Raised in San Diego, California, Hawk was described as being "hyperactive" as a child. His parents supported his skateboarding because it served as an outlet for his excessive energy, and as Hawk's skills developed, he became a professional skateboarder at age fourteen. In 1999, he became the first skater to land a 900. In 2002, he created the Boom Boom HuckJam, an extreme sports exhibition and tour which launched in Las Vegas.
Throughout his career, Hawk has made numerous appearances in films and other media, as well as his own series of video games. He has also been involved in various philanthropic activities including his own Tony Hawk Foundation which helps build skateparks in underprivileged areas, and also including collaborations with other athletes in the charity Athletes for Hope.

He sits in the car,
Walks in the park,
Waits in his room as the city gets dark.
He can't understand why he's falling apart.
It's never too late-
It's only too hard.
He locks all the doors,
Pulls down the shades.
He's not the same since he went away.
He can't figure out what to do with his days.
He's wasted his time.
Now he's wasting away.
He's wasting away.
He's wasting away.
