Start Jamming...
Look Adelaide, you're getting yourself upset.
You and I are gonna be alright.
After all, we love each other and we're gonna get married.
I don't believe you anymore.
But it's true.
You'll feel better tomorrow.
Come on, cheer up honey.
Let's see that old smile.
That's my girl.
See you tomorrow.
