Benedict.
Ike Graham Arnold.
I love Eggs Benedict, I hate every other kind. I hate big weddings with everybody staring. I'd like to get married on a weekday while everybody's at work. And when I ride off into the sunset, I want my own horse.
Ike Graham Should I be writing this down?
Is there one 'right' person for everyone?
Ike Graham No, but I think attraction is mistaken for rightness.
Bob Kelly [Ike and Maggie have just kissed] [to Maggie]
If you were imagining me, you did great. [turns to Ike] What the hell were YOU doing?
Ike Graham I'm sorry, Bob. She kissed me back.
I kissed him back.
Bob Kelly Yeah, I caught that. Want to tell me how long this has been going on?
About a minute...?
Ike Graham A little longer for me.
Bob Kelly What do you expect me to say to this?
Ike Graham How about - "I hope you'll be very happy together"?
Bob Kelly [Bob punches Ike in the face]
I hope you'll be very happy together.
I wanted to tell you why I run - sometimes ride - away from things.
Ike Graham Does it matter?
I think so. [takes a deep breath] When I was walking down the aisle, I was walking toward somebody who didn't have any idea who I really was. And it was only half the other person's fault, because I had done everything to convince him that I was exactly what he wanted. So it was good that I didn't go through with it because it would have been a lie. But you - you knew the real me.
Ike Graham Yes, I did.
I didn't. And you being the one at the end of the aisle didn't just fix that.
I love you, Homer Eisenhower Graham. Will you marry me?
Ike Graham I... I've got to think about this a little bit.
Good. I was hoping you'd say that.
Ike Graham [laughing]
You were not!
I was, because if you said "yes" right away, then I wouldn't get to say this next part, and I've been practicing. [Maggie sits down, clears her throat] Ready?
Ike Graham I'm listening.
I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is going to want get out. But I also guarantee... [starts to cry] that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart... you're the only one for me.
