scripted lies

I think that sometimes there comes a moment in our lives when we wish things could just be a bit more like television. I know televsion isn't like real-life at all, but I believe that sometimes we just wish something we said was the perfect thing to say and not sound like some cheesy line.
Or you're with someone special and you just wish that you could say something totally sporadic, but important to the moment without them reacting like you're a total creepball.
The setting would be atmospheric, and the perfect song would be playing in the background just loud enough for the audience to hear the lyrics, but also be able to hear that one thing you've been dying to say all episode. Then after you've you've strung the perfect set of words together, the person reacts exactly as you want them to, the music grows slowly louder, the screens goes black, and the executive producer's name is displayed.

but life is not like that. and we have to ask ourselves, would we really want it to be?
