"Let's get married."
"...Excuse me?"
"Let's go to San Francisco and get married."
"Yeah. Very funny."
"I'm not kidding."
"..."
"Come on, they're gonna get shut down any day now. Let's go while we still can."
"Okay... back up a couple of years. Who said anything about getting married?"
"I did. Just now. I said, 'let's get married.' You weren't listening?"
"Did I miss the part where we talked about it?"
"That's this part, right now."
"You want to get married. Us. The two of us, married."
"If you were any quicker, I wouldn't be able to keep up."
"Why?"
"Because it'd be fun. Because we might not get another chance. Because San Francisco is the most gay-friendly place in the world right now."
"San Francisco has always been the most gay-friendly place in the world."
"Look, it won't mean anything. The licenses'll be denied as soon as they're sent in anyway."
"Marriage isn't a political statement."
"Right now? Sure it is."
"It shouldn't be. The government doesn't have any jurisdiction over the heart."
"But it gets to decide benefits, inheritance, and custody rights? It gets to define 'family'? It lets you get fired because of me?"
"...Doing it just because we can doesn't help anyone's cause."
"I didn't suggest it just because we can."
"You never brought it up before."
"Neither did you. Are you saying you don't want to?"
"..."
"Just say no. Say, 'no, I don't want to marry you,' and I'll drop it."
"I just... I don't want to do it like this, all right?"
"Is that a yes?"
"...Maybe."
