[ A little later in the afternoon. Susan and Harry are clearing the table. They are alone again. ]
Harry: There's a conversation we have to finish.
Susan: What was it about?
Harry: It was about caring.
Susan: Oh?
Harry: Yes, caring. I said that it makes me feel good that you care about Michelle.
Susan: Well, I do care about Michelle.
Harry: And it makes me feel good that you care about me.
Susan: You know I do. You're a ... wonderful friend.
Harry: And it makes me feel good that you care about us.
Susan: Well ... well, I do, Harry. It's only natural that if I care about Michelle and I care about you, then I care about us.
Harry: It's OK, Susan. We had this part of the conversation before Michelle and her friends arrived. Now comes the good part.
Susan: Like what?
Harry: Well, assume that if you care about Michelle and you care about me and you care about us, that we can talk about us. I mean--you and me. Isn't that right?
Susan: What are you trying to say, Harry?
Harry: What I'm trying to say ... since this is so easy .... [ He goes to the game stand and puts up some letters. ] Here are ten letters that express my feelings for you.
Susan: Don't be silly, Harry.
Harry: You want a hint? It's two words.
Susan: You're making the game harder.
Harry: Can't you figure it out? Seven letters ... two words ... that express the feelings that I feel for you in my heart.
Susan: Harry, I get it! [ She rearranges the letters to spell "marry me." ]
Harry: Well? Does that mean you'll marry me?
Susan: Is that a proposal, or are we just playing a game?
Harry: Sit down, Susan. There's something I have to ask you. [ He takes a flower from the table and gets down on one knee. ] Susan, will you marry me?
Susan: It's such an important decision. There's so many things to talk about. There are three things that have to be done first, Harry.
Harry: Three things?
Susan: First, we have to decide where to live.
Harry: Well, that's easy. We talked about that earlier. We'll live in New York.
Susan: All right. Second, we have to talk to Michelle together about being married.
Harry: We'll do that immediately. What's the third thing?
Susan: You have to ask for my father's permission.
Harry: Absolutely! But first things first. We have to go pick up Michelle.
Susan: Oh, I'm so happy, Harry!
Harry: Not as happy as I am. [ He gives her the flower, and they embrace. ]
