- I should've written oftener, but you know how it is. You keep waiting for good news, something worth writing about. And then when this big chance came, I didn't wanna tell you about it. I wanted to be sure I had the contract signed and everything.

- You know, sometimes when you wait for real good news, you wait forever.

- I guess so.

- I don't want to wait forever.

- Look, let's sit a minute. Let's talk it over.

- All right.

- I can't let you do that, Rae. I've gotta go south for spring training.

- I'll have to face that. It might not be easy.

- It'll be easier if we face it together.

- It won't be any picnic. You marry me now, and you're asking for trouble.

- All right, Jackie. I'll ask for it.

- Daytona Beach, next stop.
