What were his exact words? "Will you MEHrry me"?

I'm glad I went to Prospect Park to hear other people's conversations. I mean, I didn't really want to hear Deer Tick, I just wanted to be there . . . you know, to listen to other people talk. So I could be reminded what a loser I am. A loser who has nothing to say.

I guess, what could I expect for 3 doll hairs.
