From "Happy Accidents"

Sam: Your heart is like a clock measuring time and one's emotional state determines the flow of time. It speeds it up or slows it down.
Ruby: So time is a personal thing?
Sam: Yes, sure.
Ruby: Time is an emotional thing, that's what you're saying really?
Sam: Well yeah, sure. Don't bad things seem to always last longer than good ones?
Ruby: Mmmhmm.
Sam: But, but, but good things seem to just fly by. Right? The best times in life. You know like, like...what...?
Ruby: Like...
Sam: Like falling in love.
Ruby: Oh my god! I'm late for work, I totally spaced.
