>So can I quote the sentence beginning with emotional indicator?

Yes.  the parser output is idiosyncratic, and all attitudinals will glom
onto the previous word.  This is not significant to the parse: we just
interpret the attitudinal as applying to the quoted text as a whole,
which it does when a text starts with an attitudinal.  The quote includes
the 'quotation marks', in other words, for purposes of scope determination.
