So you're gonna have to talk.

I'm hard to get, John T.

You're gonna have to say you want me.

- Where you going?

- Downstairs.

You better not.

Why had I better not?

Because I'm still sheriff.

You wear those things in public,

I'll arrest you.

John T.

I've waited so long for you to say that.

I thought you were never...

You have the funniest way

of saying things.

Just when I think

you're gonna say one thing...

Get those darn things off.

I'll wait outside.

No, you don't have to go.

I can use this screen.

Besides I want you to stay here...

because the other thing is all over now,

isn't it?

I'm trying to hurry, but I'm all thumbs.

What I had to go through!

Put on these tights,

ask a lot of questions...

start to walk out.

I thought you were never gonna say it.

- Say what?

- That you loved me.

I said I'd arrest you.

It means the same thing, you know that.

You just won't say it.

Oh, we're different.

I'll have to get used to you.

Me, I just talk all the time.

You most certainly do.

You'll get used to that. You'll have to.

Either that or start talking too.

Tell me something.

These tights, now why didn't you

want me to wear them?

Because I didn't want anybody

but me to see you in them.

Oh, I like that.

You're getting better already.

Shall I...? Shall I save them

and wear them just for you?

- Do you think I'll ever get to be a sheriff?

- Not unless you mind your own business.
