so, another one bites the dust.
she's only known the guy a few months.
can i put these here for tonight?
i really think if you're going to spend your life with someone you want to know them pretty damn well.
the receptionist said you called earlier about something.
good going. i knew you could do it.
it looks like we're both bucking for advancement.
huntley told me today that if i come through on the benton deposition, they may consider me for senior associate.
i was thinking dinner on friday with james and meg at the saint mark.
actually, i need to review the deposition questions tonight. maybe tomorrow?
but i thought if you don't mind, you could listen and see how i come across?
letty, please, i need your full attention.
what are you doing? you're going to be late.
you don't have a fever.
won't it be hard for them to get a substitute this late?
but what about that math project?
forget i asked.
maybe you ought to see a doctor.
you can get out of the dinner.
come on, letty. it'll get done.
of course it will. remember the big talent show you planned last year? and what about the christmas benefit when santa canceled at the last minute? but you still pulled it off.
you just need to get more organized. l
let's make a list of the things you need to do, ok?
yes.
kind of icy in there.
letty?
let? l
what are you doing?
sure. why?
i think you're overreacting.
it's prettier here than i thought it would be.
are you all right?
i hope it wasn't something i did.
that put you in here.
i think we need to talk about some things.
this has been really difficult, this whole thing.
especially this last year.
so, i've been thinking a lot.
i talked to ruth a little bit, and i think it's about time.
exactly. it's time to make decisions.
i just wish we'd done it sooner.
will you marry me?
i had to smuggle it in here. i guess you're not really supposed to have jewelry.
i hope you like it. it's a marquis cut, 1.5 carats. they had one with emeralds around it, but this was simpler, more classic in its lines.
you can take it back and we can have one custom made if you want.
so, what do you say, let?
sure. we'll save the formal announcement for when you're out. i already told your mother. i hope you don't mind.
so will you?
what's so urgent? you've got me worried.
you can tell me anything. do you want to postpone the wedding? is it too much pressure?
that's a load off my mind.
whoa. whoa. have really loved me? letty, it's natural to be nervous. but we're going to work through our problems.
who?
have you been seeing another teacher?
it's a doctor, isn't it? that's unethical. i'll have him rung up on malpractice charges so fast his head will spin.
of all the crazy things. i understood when you dropped out of law school. and during this whole mess, i've tried to be supportive. but, really, letty, what can you be thinking?
you're going to throw away our life together for some shared experience with a looney-tune that you misguidedly think is love?
no way. you keep the ring. you'll come to your senses.
you keep it, letty. this is not over. our life is not over.
i'm glad you agreed to see me.
oh, none. none. i completely understand what was going on.
how's work going? are you back at school?
so things are back on track?
i heard about your friend.
i heard your friend was back in the hospital.
i just wondered, well, if this meant there was a chance for us. because i think about you a lot, and i still feel.
i think i've heard this speech before.
