"Am I expected to disagree with Belly when she yells, "I'm marrying your fucking brother, and what am I supposed to say to him now? I'm supposed to let you stand up there with him? On his wedding day?" Conrad doesn't even look humbled; instead, he has the gall to say he was trying to let Belly off the hook. Excuse me, sir! This isn't Julia Roberts in Runaway Bride, this is Julia Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding,"
"Well, that plan fell apart five minutes into the episode. Conrad is the first thing Belly sees when she walks into the kitchen the morning after the Bachelor parties, and he immediately goes out of his way to make me hate him. That self-sacrificing Conrad from a few weeks ago? He can't come to the phone right now because the old Conrad is dead. Now, Conrad is just openly begging Belly to run away with him the day before she's supposed to marry"
