Disaster

"I'm not certain you're being guided by your brain, that's all. Need can be confused with love. Fantasy can convince us that what we're feeling is love."
"So you're saying this is all a rebound?"
"Yeah."
"No. You don't understand, love, Sweets."
"I'm not as innocent as you might think."
"You have this bourgeois notion..."
"Bourgeois?"
"...that in order for love to be real it has to be permanent. Nothing is permanent. That's just a fact. We move in and out of loving other people, but that doesn't make the love any less real."
"Mm hmm. Perhaps you're saying this because you haven't met the love of your life."
"I have, actually. Many times."
"Fine. It seems to me that you always leave yourself an escape hatch in your relationships because you're afraid of commitment."
"Nice try. But no. Actually I commit to every person I love."
"You marry a man and then conveniently forget that you married him because you got zonked on Kava Kava. That compromises your relationship with Hodgins, so that ends, along with the marriage. Now you say you have these intense feelings for an ex-lover whose heart you've already broken. Don't you see the potential disaster here?"
