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 conversation2 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, then 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 tableand 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 permission.
Harry:Absolutely! But first things first.We have to go to 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.]
