‘You’re impossible.’

‘I know. Thanks.’

‘And this is the worst proposal.’

‘It wasn’t real, actually. Just, you know, testing the waters. Given that you’re more upset about the way I’ve done it than about that I’ve done it, it declare the waters favourable.’

‘Hang on, hang on. You didn’t mean it as a joke?’

‘No. I would never joke about this.’

‘You joke about everything. You joke about death.’

‘If you don’t joke about death, it gets too serious.’

‘So if you don’t joke about marriage, doesn’t that mean it gets too serious?’

‘But it is serious. I am serious.’
