Very well. Newton, we have known each other for twelve years. And while things may have gotten off to a rocky start, you have become rather important to me. I am quite fond of you and value your companionship.
I realize this must seem quite abrupt, but we did stop the apocalypse, so...
And, in any case, you did just tell that girl you want to have sex with me, so I hope it isn't unwelcome.
