Yeah, but it sounds like the way people talk. For example, when narrating conversations, many American youth will say something similar to this:

And then I was like, "xxx"
Then he was like, "xxx"...

2 and 3 sound normal. 1 sounds kind of weird.

If 1,2, and 3 were said at a normal conversational speed, it really wouldn't make much difference.
