Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : You know that girl I was staring at when all the ruckus started?
Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : Yeah.
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : Well, who is she?
Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : Well, her name is Mary McCloud. Why?
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : Well, I'll tell you. I think maybe I'll marry her.
Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : What ?
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : Course if she'll have me, I mean. Fella wouldn't wanna marry anyone that didn't want him, naturally.
Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : Oh, naturally. Uh, you know her well?

Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : Practically a cinch. Say, you do things kinda sudden don't you?
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : No, not exactly. But you see I got 'er figured out this way. If you LIKE someone - and you don't tell 'em right off - well, maybe all that time you wasted, she liked you, too. So... well, all that time's wasted, ain't it?
Fletcher 'Fletch' McCloud : Well, it IS the way you put it.
