MR. JOHNNY

On the floor?

LORETTA:

Yes, on the floor.

MR. JOHNNY

This is a good suit.

LORETTA:

I helped you buy it. It came with

two pairs of pants. It's for luck,

Johnny. When you propose marriage to

a woman, you should kneel down.

MR. JOHNNY

Alright.

Mr. Johnny slowly gets out of his chair. There's not enough

room for him to kneel down. He has to ask two off-duty PRO

WRESTLERS who are eating dinner to move their chairs. They

do so with bemused expressions. Their names are BOB and MOOK.

LORETTA:

Where's the ring?

MR. JOHNNY

(at a loss)

The ring?

BOB AND MOOK ARE WATCHING MR. JOHNNY'S PERFORMANCE

They are deadpan mugs.

BOB:

(to Mr. Johnny)

A ring. That's right.

MOOK:

I woulda sprung for a ring if it was

me.

BOBO AND EDDIE STAND NEAR THE KITCHEN WATCHING

BOBO:

She's got him on his knees. He's

ruining his suit.

LORETTA AND MR. JOHNNY

LORETTA:

You could use your pinky ring.

MR. JOHNNY

I like this ring.

LORETTA:

You propose to a woman you should

offer her a ring of engagement.

Mr. Johnny takes off the ring and holds it out to her.

MR. JOHNNY

Loretta. Loretta Castorini Clark. On

my knees. In front of all these

people. Will you marry me?
