Daily Dialogue — November 24, 2014

Andrew Paxton: We’ll tell my family about our engagement when I want and how I want. Now, ask me nicely.
Margaret Tate: Ask you nicely what?
Andrew Paxton: Ask me nicely to marry you… Margaret.
Margaret Tate: What does that mean?
Andrew Paxton: You heard me. On your knee.
Margaret Tate: [she kneels] Fine. Does this work for you?
Andrew Paxton: Oh, I like this. Yeah.
Margaret Tate: Here you go. Will you marry me?
Andrew Paxton: No. Say it like you mean it.
Margaret Tate: Andrew.
Andrew Paxton: Yes, Margaret.
Margaret Tate: Sweet Andrew.
Andrew Paxton: I’m listening.
Margaret Tate: Would you please, with cherries on top, marry me?
Andrew Paxton: Ok. I don’t appreciate the sarcasm, but I’ll do it. See you at the airport tomorrow.

— The Proposal (2009), written by Pete Chiarelli

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Proposal, suggested by Aamir Mirza. Today’s suggestion by uncgym44.

Trivia: Sandra Bullock plays a Canadian who wants to marry her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada. In real life, Reynolds is from Canada and Bullock is American.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Nothing like a faux relationship to inspire a comedic proposal.

If you have a suggestion for this week’s theme, please post in comments.
