"Because you don't love me enough!"

"Oh, the idea!"

"If you did love me the best, you'd say anything I asked you to, whether it was true or not."

"Would you do that?"

"Of course I would."

"All right, then you admit that I love you best, because I ask you to do so!"

"O Dick, how horrid you are! How can you be so cruel to me?"

"There, there, don't cry. I'll admit that you love me best, but I only admit it because you ask me to."

"Then that's all right."
