Ring ring telephone.

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Oh, hey.

AUDIO

[politehulk]

Hey, B. Um. I wanted to say that I'm sorry. To start.

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Um, okay.

AUDIO

[politehulk]

[and rushing like he's planned what he's going to say and maybe has written down bullet points or something]

I shouldn't have made it sound like I wanted to marry you because of the City and the leaving thing. I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life whether or not we're here. But I shouldn't have - I just screwed it up.

[pause for breath]

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

...take a breath.

AUDIO

[politehulk]

I'm breathing.

[but slower now.]

When we first met - before we got together - I thought that if you weren't gay it would be okay because it would be worth it just to be your friend. I should just be happy with what I've got, right?

I'm sorry I put you in a corner like that. It was my fault, I should have just... I just worry all the time, you know?

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Yeah, it's okay. I mean, I didn't exactly help much, did I?

AUDIO

[politehulk]

You didn't do anything wrong. I'm glad you're not - upset.

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

I'm not upset. We're okay, right?

AUDIO

[politehulk]

Yeah. Yeah, of course we're okay.

[relief]

But, you know, this doesn't mean I won't pop the question twenty years down the line.

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Well, hopefully twenty years down the line I won't feel like my heart's going to implode in my chest when you do.

AUDIO

[politehulk]

Implode, really? I mean - is it really that bad of an idea?

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Well...right now, it is, maybe?

AUDIO

[politehulk]

I know. Not here.

AUDIO

[repeatshimself]

Sorry I left.
