Robert: My pleasure.
Amy: Can you do one thing for me?
Robert: For you, I'll do two things.
Amy: I know it sounds queer, but it's important. Can you ask my father for my hand? It would mean so much to them.

Quote from Pat

Robert: Ahem. I'm sorry, but you know... I don't understand.

Quote from Hank

Pat: Would you like some warm cider?
Robert: Oh, no. No, thank you. I don't want to take up too much of your time. Anyway... Um... The reason that I'm here... [takes deep breath] I've been thinking a lot about Amy, and she means the world to me. In fact, that's why I'm here. I wanna do things right. A- A- And out of respect for her and you, I would like to formally request your daughter's hand in marriage.
Hank: No.
Robert: What?
Hank: No.
Robert: No?!
Hank: We don't think it's a very good idea.
Pat: It's nice to see you again, though. You probably have a long drive back. I'll put some cider in a cup for you.
