Abner 'Ab' Bedford : Fayaway, you won't understand most of this. Maybe that's why I say it. Sometimes its hard to talk when every word is understood. Easy, and they're not. At least, it's always been that way with me.
Fayaway : You talk, Abner.
Abner 'Ab' Bedford : I think - I think I love you, Fayaway. You might be the freedom I've always been looking for. You have a beauty like I've never seen before. You have a way of walking that's like water flowing in a little New England brook. You always have a fragrance of flowers about you.
Fayaway : Talk.
Abner 'Ab' Bedford : From the look in your eye, I'm beginning to think you do understand. That - that would be terrible. People don't ever talk like that.
Fayaway : Love.
Abner 'Ab' Bedford : Perhaps, kiss?
Fayaway : Kiss.
[kiss]
