Maynard G. Krebs : Like please, like please.
Zelda Gilroy : Once more.
Maynard G. Krebs : Like please, like please.
Zelda Gilroy : Very well, Maynard, your plaintive cry for help has touched my heart. I'll marry you.
Maynard G. Krebs : Like thanks, like... Hey Zeld...
Zelda Gilroy : Yes, Maynard, yes, my betrothed...
Maynard G. Krebs : How come all of a sudden I got a funny feelin' I've been snookered?
Zelda Gilroy : Can the chatter, and let's get on with the proposal. Now, there's just one thing missing.
Maynard G. Krebs : The ring?
Zelda Gilroy : The ring.
Maynard G. Krebs : OK, where is it?
Zelda Gilroy : [Zelda produces a ring, and puts it on Maynard's finger] Here.
Maynard G. Krebs : Hey, in the movies they always get down on one knee when they're proposing.
Zelda Gilroy : [smoothing her hair as if getting ready for Maynard's proposal] Well, that's the custom.
Maynard G. Krebs : Well, don't just stand there, girl, get with it.
Zelda Gilroy : [on one knee] Maynard G. Krebs, wilt thou marry me?
Maynard G. Krebs : Zelda G. Gilroy, I... I...
Zelda Gilroy : You wilt, you wilt.
Maynard G. Krebs : I wilt?
Zelda Gilroy : That's it, you said it, that's it, you proposed. Maynard, we're practically man and wife.
Maynard G. Krebs : Hey, how about that. And I can't even cook.
