I try my best, yeah. You're pretty amazing yourself there.
Is that universally? I mean, it doesn't always mean marriage, does it? You wore red that one time, when you danced, and it didn't mean the same in that instance, did it? What does white mean then?
...no, it doesn't always mean- marriage. The colours also symbolise- the same as they do here, I believe, white for purity, and red for- passion. It's just- yes, an Indian wedding garment is usually red, as is the Mehendi dye a- bride applies to herself.
Mike... Merlin. I just- hope you know that I'm- definitely not trying to push you into anything for which- you are not ready, or not interested- or whatever. I love you so much.
Alright then. So that's a way of hoping passion stays infused in the marriage then?
I know. I didn't say I wasn't interested, Padma. Besides, we haven't talked about it or anything anyroad, so I don't see why there'd be any reason for me to think you were pushing me into anything. I love you too.
I could see about organising a parade once spring comes. But if you think I'll let you touch my badge, you are wildly mistaken, Mikey.
Indeed it would. I don't think I could get involved in a marriage- or a life- that was without passion.
I'm saying- the prospect of marriage- interests me, Mike. Maybe not right now. Certainly- if you don't share my feelings. But- I do- hope to be married someday... be it one year from now, or five. Right.

You going to put that little number back on before Padma gets up here? She might get a thrill out of it, yeah.

How could I forget that red is Padma's favourite colour too?

Now, which card should I get rid of? I don't want Anthony to win.

If you've anything less than a jack, I'd toss that in.

A jack? Hm.

As a caring boyfriend, you should want me to do well in my first game of cards.

As a caring boyfriend, I'm not losing to my own girlfriend. Especially not on her first game of cards, Pansy.

Do we have confidence issues that we need to talk about?

I- reckon so, yeah. Passion is very important to marriage, Mr Corner.
...Mike? Are you saying you- might be interested? Someday... in our future together?
no subject
I'd hope so. Be rather dull without it, don't you think?
I'm saying nothing's ever out of the running, Padma. Are you saying that?
no subject
Indeed it would. I don't think I could get involved in a marriage- or a life- that was without passion.
