She Didn t Expect This But It Changed Everything

I mean, you just don't come up to a girl and say the humidity is very high for this time of year. Will you marry me? Well, I just didn't want to get, uh, romantic. Oh, you just didn't want to get, uh, romantic. What are you saving it for? Henry, do you think the night is this beautiful just because it's my birthday? Oh, I don't know. I'd say it was more or less a coincidence. Oh, you would? Ginger. Yes, Henry? Ginger, I'm a man of few words and, uh... Yes, Henry. Well, after approaching the subject from every standpoint very objectively, I think it would be to our mutual advantage if we became engaged. Engaged? Yes, and after a respectable period of time, I think we should be married. Oh, Henry, this is so sudden. Well, you know I like to put my cards on the table. Well, I think you could have taken out the joker. Well? Well, what? Well, I'm waiting for an answer. Well, that's pretty complicated. It's really quite simple. You're young, attractive, intelligent, and I'm young and intelligent, and all we need is a meeting of the minds. Meeting of the minds. Look, Henry, I think you're an awfully nice boy, and I'm very fond of you, but you just don't ask a girl to marry you like you're going to the hardware store to buy a coffee grinder. I mean, you just don't come up to a girl and say, the humidity is very high for this time of year, will you marry me? Well, I just didn't want to get, uh, romantic. Oh, you just didn't want to get, uh, romantic. What are you saving it for? Well, I thought we were above that sort of thing. Oh, well, Henry, maybe you are. I hope I'm not. Very well, Ginger, I'm not discouraged. Shall we go back? No, you, uh, you go ahead. I'm going to stay out here and just look at everything. As you wish. What are you doing here? Oh, I, I just got to thinking about what you said in the car. I got to thinking that you were right. Besides, I heard you were getting married, so I, uh, came back to offer my services. In what capacity? Best man. Well, I'm not getting married. I didn't think so. Hmm? I just said I didn't think so. Oh, you didn't think so. You've been listening all the time? Oh, I, I was trapped there. One certainly does pack a terrific wallop. Who? Mr. Put-Your-Cards-On-The-Table. He's a very nice fellow. Yes, he's a very nice fellow. Just the guy to get Juliet off the balcony. Well, there are other things besides making love. Wait a minute, don't start knocking that. You're going to be staying around? Yes, I, uh, I'm going to be staying around. Thought you hated it here. Not anymore. Well, what made you decide to stay around, hmm? Could be the climate. Round. But it isn't. Or it could be my love for the great open spaces. But it isn't. And again, it could be that I just like you. Yeah, yeah, could be. Were you always out of your mind? No, no, no, just like, gosh, it's wonderful. Oh, I think I better get back to the party. Oh, wait a minute. Here, I've got a present for you. For me? Sure, my grandmother gave it to my father and he gave it to me. It's lucky. Oh, it's beautiful. That's me, before and after. You haven't changed much. Oh, I dress better now. Well, I can't take it if it's your lucky piece. Oh, go ahead and keep it. I won't need it now. Now that you're around.
