This was great.
First, though, you need to know the movie he was referencing. Blues Brothers (a truly funny comedy) came out in the 80's. It was originally R rated (for language I think), would probably fit PG-13 rating today, but we have the "edited for TV" version, and we really like it.
Blues Brothers is basically a really long chase, actually, make that four chases. all for the same two guys (the Blues Brothers - Jake and Elwood). One is by the cops, one is led by a group of country Singers that are mad at them, another by the Illinois Nazis (also mad at them) and the fourth is this ex-fiancé of one of the bro's.
She is the topic of the day. She is really mad at Jake and tries a number of different ways of getting rid of him for good (Which they always miraculously live through, it's hilarious), including blowing up their apartment building, using a flame thrower, and shooting them down with a machine gun (She misses them, just to make it more funny).
And here we come to the funny part. Birdie was requesting that we watch a movie that had "romance" in it. She was thinking My Fair Lady, or something. Buddy says, "How about blues brothers?" Birdie says, "That doesn't have romance in it" (Which, btw it doesn't). Greg responds, "Yes it does! It's that girl trying to shoot down the guy 'cause she's mad at him, that's, like, ultimate romantic for a girl!"
So, we see the romantic logic of Buddy.
