Soulmate speech from Crazy, Stupid, Love - English Speech

Robbie: Welcome, class of 2011. Our time as middle schoolers has come to an end. We can't fight it anymore. We're getting old. All my life I wanted to grow up. I wanted to grow older so people would take me seriously. It all sounded so good to me. Growing up, getting a job, getting married. But......it's all a scam. And love? That's the biggest scam of all.I was in love. And I know that makes some of you laugh because I'm only 13......but whatever. I was. And I used to think, and really believe......that there was one true love for everyone......and if you fought hard enough for that person... ...your one true love would always work out. It sounded good to me when I was younger, but it just doesn't work that way. - There is no such thing as one true love... Cal: Stop. ***. Jacob: Oh, boy. Cal: Excuse me. Cal: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Robbie: What are you doing? Cal: What are you doing? Robbie: I was wrong, Dad. There's no such thing as... Cal: I, uh... Um... Oh. Well, here's the thing: Cal: My son's graduation speech sucks. That's not a joke. In fairness, I didn't know where he was going with that. But I think we can all agree... ...it was headed in a kind of depressing, um, way. My son... Not him, my actual son.Believes in grand romantic gestures. He believes in the existence......of one's soul mate. And it's easy to just look at a 13-year-old and say: "You don't know what you're talking about. You are wrong."But I'm not so sure.I met my soul mate when I was 15 years old. We went out for ice cream. After, my dad started teasing me about my first date, the way dads do. And I told him, "Dad, it's no big deal. I'm gonna be going out with a lot of different girls on a lot of different dates." And that is the first time that I ever lied to my father. I met my soul mate when I was 15 years old......and I have loved her every minute of every day......since I first bought her that mint chocolate chip cone. I have loved her through the birth of my three perfect children. I have loved her even when I've hated her. Only married couples will understand that one. And I don't know if it's gonna work out. I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm sorry, Robbie, I can't give you that. But I can promise you this: I will never stop trying. Because when you find the one......you never give up. Do you have anything you'd like to say? Robbie: I still love you, Jessica. Cal: And I love you, Emily. Robbie: I loved you ever since you first changed my sister's diaper. I loved you when you came into my bedroom and I was under the covers... Emily: Stop him. Cal: No, no. Woman: What's he talking about? Robbie: I'm not ashamed of it. Cal: Okay, we're good, we're good.
