I don't believe you. I wouldn't have married a woman that would hold helping a new mother feed all fifteen of her puppies against me. It had to have been in those vows somewhere.

[sheriffing]

Alright, next question.

Which one's ours?

[dishearten]

that's why they're here and not at home, or we'd go from two to eighteen and even I have to draw a line somewhere.

[sheriffing]

Now I definitely want a divorce.

[dishearten]

You still don't. I'm calling your bluff.

If you divorce me you couldn't meet them tomorrow.

[sheriffing]

You're spending the night with another woman.

[dishearten]

she's given me at least a few kisses, but I did tell her I was married. after having fifteen babies I think we ought to give her the benefit of the doubt.

[sheriffing]

She's not the one I'm worried about.

[dishearten]

if I intended to leave you for a dog, I'm fairly certain I'd have done it already.

No, I will come home to the wife that I love even more than these tiny Dalmatians just as soon as the morning shift comes in five hours early, with the night staff out sick. Not even sixteen Dalmatians would keep me here if I had another choice, and that was true even before you tried to tempt me with s'mores.

and that, for the record, wasn't teasing.

[sheriffing]

Do you need anything?

[dishearten]

Hearing you love me without an "oh" tacked on the front might be nice

[sheriffing]

I'm sure it would be.

[dishearten]

You're making the new mother of fifteen much more tempting, I won't lie to you.

[sheriffing]

You'd miss me.

[dishearten]

I miss you right now, even if you're being quite cruel. And I don't think you have a very good reason, but I could be wrong.

[sheriffing]

I'm pretty sure you already know I love you.

[dishearten]

I know. Haven't hit that point where I don't like hearing you say it, though.

It's possible I never will. You might need to come to terms with it.

[sheriffing]

You're so demanding, I should have broken my leg the day I married you.

[Casually ignoring the fact that once they got to the hotel room, she almost did.]

[dishearten]

if that's a saying, it's a new and rather confusing one

( also why would anyone say that... Colloquialisms are so strange. )

[sheriffing]

Or an old and totally legitimate one.

[dishearten]

old or not, I like you best in good health. nothing broken.

( he doesn't even need to be with her in person for that to come off stone cold serious. )

[sheriffing]

I love you, Graham.

[dishearten]

I love you too. I won't make you stay up until four to hear it in person, but I'll probably want a reminder by the time I manage to wake up.

[sheriffing]

You don't have to make me, I already set the alarm.

[dishearten]

things like that are why I know you love me, though when it results in you waking up at four I've got to wonder why.

I'll see you as close to four as I possibly can. I promise.
