Summary: Script by Dr. Lucy Tse Audio Index Slow dialog: 0:47 Explanations: 2:39 Fast dialog: 13:30 I had been stressing out about it for a couple of weeks. How do I ask my girlfriend to marry me? We were getting some dinner at a fast food restaurant before going to the movies. Fiona: Tell me the truth. What’s up with you lately? Doug: Me? Nothing. Why do you ask? Fiona: You haven’t been yourself. You’ve been quiet and distant. Are you seeing someone else? Doug: No! Of course I’m not. I would never cheat on you. Fiona: Then, do you want to break up with me? Doug: No way! That’s the last thing I want to do. You’ve got it all wrong. Fiona: Then, tell me what’s on your mind. Doug: I…well…it’s just that…oh, I can’t stand it anymore! I’ve been carrying around this ring in my pocket for two weeks trying to get up the nerve to ask you. Fiona, will you marry me? Fiona: Ah! I can believe it. Are you serious? Doug: I’ve never been more serious. This wasn’t the way I wanted to ask you, but will you? Fiona: Yes, I’ll marry you. And, I thought you wanted to break up. Doug: No, I don’t, silly. I want us to be together for the rest of our lives. Don’t you know that?
