Cece: You just know. I don't know. I can't put it into words.
Jess: Try! There are a lot of words out there, just pick some of them.
Cece: Everything inside of me just said, "yes." I just looked at him. You know, I just had this feeling that I was home.
Jess: That is very beautiful... And very, very vague and not helpful at all.
Cece: I do know you can't avoid Sam all night.
