No.30
BRAD: What's wrong with her?!
WAYNE: What did you say to her?
BRAD: I asked her to marry me.
WAYNE: So did I, about twenty seconds before you walked in!
BRAD: Oh, what?!
WAYNE: So you can understand why the girl could be a touch confused!
BRAD: Say yes, did she?!
WAYNE: She would have.
BRAD: Well then, why didn't she just tell me to get lost? I'm going after her.
WAYNE: Yeah, well, I wouldn't. She probably needs to be on her own for a while. Look, give it up, mate, I've got what she wants - reliability, security...
BRAD: Yeah, maybe. But I love her. And underneath it all, I think she loves me too.
He walks out.
