Breaking up is hard to do, but moving on is even harder. After you break up with someone, you have to get over them before you can love again. When you get over someone, you stop having feelings for them.
Sometimes, you never get to have the person you loved. This can make getting over them even harder. When you love someone who doesn’t love you back, eventually you have to try to get over them and find someone else to love.

Marni: OK, guys, for this next project, I think we’re gonna bring in Mason. I mean, I know he’s just the janitor, but he’s had a lot of good ideas lately.
Dale: Yeah, you know, that’s true. Ever since he’s been dating that new girl, guy’s been on fire.
Marni: Dale, you are the one who’s on fire. I mean, look at you. You look amazing.
Dale: Thanks. You know, ever since I faced the music, I really got over my weight problem.
Ella: Back to the topic at hand. Marni, we cannot have Mason on this project. No, absolutely not.
Marni: Why not?
Ella: Because he’s in love with me!
Marni: Uh, actually, I think he’s over you.
Ella: What? What do you mean he’s gotten over me? When did he get over me? How did he get over me?
Dale: Um, the hottie?
Ella: There are so many hot people in the world. One person can’t do that. I mean, we don’t even know if she really exists.
Marni: Ella, I’m sure it’s very hard for you to imagine men getting over you because you’re so beautiful, and you’re so charming. But I think in this case it was very hard for him, but I think he finally just let go.
Dale: And you know, the best way to get over somebody is to date somebody else.
Ella: Those are both great theories, guys. But this is probably just another ploy. You know, to pretend to get over me to get with me.
Marni: She does have a point there.
Dale: You know, Mason has done some crazy things to get with Ella…
Marni: OK. Mason is off the project, but I really do think he’s over you.
Ella: Really?
Dale: Yeah.
