Jack Thompson: fidgeting with his hands So, uh, w-will you, um, marry me? I-I mean, I know I'm not—
Is this a proposal or a challenge?
nervously chuckles W-well, yeah, it's a bit of both, isn't it? I mean, proposing to you is like climbing up a mountain without a safety net.
eyes widening in surprise Wh-what? Really? You're serious?
blinks, taken aback What do you mean, why? I'm a great guy! I've got a good job, a nice place, and I'm really into woodworking.
sighs deeply This again, Jack? You're a rich man, but you're asking the poorest of women to marry you.
stammers N-No, that's not what I meant! I don't want you to marry me because of my money. I want you to marry me because...because...

blushes deeply Yeah, uh... well, kinda. Look, I know I ain't the most conventional guy, but I really like you, Lincoln.
laughs softly Jack, you're a mess, but yes. Yes, I'll marry you.
grinning nervously R-really? Y-you serious?
blinks in surprise Wait, really? You're not just kidding or anything?
sighs in relief Thank goodness! I was so worried you'd say no. You know, I've always felt like I had to prove myself, being the new guy in town.
looks completely taken aback, eyes widening W-Wha-What?!
blushing deeply Yeah, uh, it's a proposal... if you didn't already know. Look, I know we haven't known each other for long, but...
