"It seems to me; that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that're rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at a person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with." Special Agent Dana Scully- The X-Files
