Harry: There's a conversation we have to finish.
     Susan: What was it about?
     Harry: It was about caring.
     Susan: Oh?
     Harry: Yes, caring. I said that it makes me feel good that you care about Michelle.
     Susan: Well, I do care about Michelle.
     Harry: And it makes me feel good that you care about me.
     Susan: You know I do. You're a……wonderful friend.
     Harry: And it makes me feel good that you care about us.
     Susan: Well……well, I do, Harry. It's only natural that if I care about Michelle and I care about you, then I care about us.
     Harry: It's OK, Susan. We had this part of the conversation before Michelle and her friends arrived. Now comes the good part.
     Susan: Like what?
     Harry: Well, assume that if you care about Michelle and you care about me and you care abut us, that we can talk about us. I mean-you and me. Isn't that right?
     Susan: What are you trying to say, Harry?
     Harry: What I'm trying to say……since this is so easy ……Here are ten letters that express my feelings for you.
     Susan: Don't be silly, Harry.
     Harry: You want a hint? It's two words.
     Susan: You're making the game harder.
     Harry: Can't you figure it out? Seven letters…… two words……that express the feeling that I feel for you in my heart.
     Susan: Harry, I get it!
     Harry: Well? Does that mean you'll marry me?
     Susan: Is that a proposal, or are we just playing a game?
     Harry: Sit down, Susan. There's something I have to ask you. Susan, will you marry me?
     Susan: It's such an important decision .There's so many things to talk about. There are three things that have to be done first, Harry.
     Harry: Three things?
     Susan: First, we have to decide where to live.
     Harry: Well, that's easy. We talked about that earlier. We'll live in New York.
     Susan: All right. Second, we have to talk to Michelle together about being married.
     Harry: We'll do that immediately. What' the third thing?
     Susan: You have to ask for my father's permission.
     Harry: Absolutely! But first things first. We have to go pick up Michelle.
     Susan: Oh, I'm so happy, Harry!
     Harry: Not as happy as I am.
