Lila: We can't go on like this.
Bam: Like what?
Lila: Like this. (Waving her hand back and forth between them as they laid in the bed)
Bam: Why not?
Lila: It's not fair to you.
Bam: I'll be the judge of what's fair.
Lila: Bam?
Bam: Yes.
Lila: Do you love me?
Bam: Didn't I make that clear enough to you last night? Do I need to show you again?
Lila: I'm serious.
Bam: I'll love you forever.
Lila: And you're sure of that?
Bam: As sure as the sun rises.
Lila: What if the sun doesn't rise?
Bam: You're just as lovely in the moonlight.
Lila: Will you still love me when we're old and gray?
Bam: No one will want us when we're old and gray so I guess you'll be stuck with me.
Lila: Can you see us together that long?
Bam: It's what I hope for.
Lila: What do you love about me?
Bam: I love your ass...
Lila: You love my ass? (Perplexed look.)
Bam: No honey, I love your assets...all of them.
Bam: I love the way you pout when you don't get your way.
Bam: I love the way you continue to surprise me with all your hidden talents.
Bam: I love the way you wear moonlight like lingerie when we're all alone.
Bam: I love the way you slip your hand in mine when you're scared, or nervous or just when we're quiet.
Bam: But most of all, I love that you're mine.
Lila: Wow. That's a lot of love.
Bam: You're a lot of woman.
Bam: What do you love about me?
Lila: Besides this (touches his chest), I love it when you get lost in my eyes like you've just seen me for the first time.
Lila: I love how safe I feel with you like you would die a thousand deaths in order that I live.
Lila: I love the way your hand holds the curve of my back when you're near me.
Lila: I love knowing all your secret insecurities.
Lila: I love your confidence in us.
Lila: I love being in love with you.
Bam: Wait a minute. Did you just say you loved me?
Lila: Uh yeah...
Bam: So I've finally won you over?
Lila: Bam?
Bam: Yes, my lovely.
Lila: Will you spend the rest of your life with me?
Bam: Are you proposing to me? (Props himself up on one arm.)
Lila: Marry me, Bam? (Props herself up on arm facing him.)
Bam: (Jumps from the bed and rummages through a box near the bed.)
Lila: What are you doing?
Bam: Woman, I wasn't expecting you to ask that question.
Lila: You haven't answered my question.
Bam: Lila J, (grabs her hand and slips a ring on it), it would be my absolute honor to be your husband.
Lila: (Admiring the ring) When? How?
Bam: I'm just full of surprises.
Lila: A lifetime of them I hope.
Bam: A lifetime of them you will have.
Lila: So it's a deal?
Bam: Sealed with a kiss. (Pulls her face to his and kisses her softly.)
Lila: I love you Joshua Bam Brown.
Bam: I love you Lila Isabella Jenkins.
