He's after you.

I dreamed of having him help me

the same way he helped you.

BV:
You don't have to, uh...

you know, hide anything.

We don't have to have

any secrets between us.

BV:
Why is he after you

if he's not attracted to you?

(BV PLAYING GUITAR SOFTLY)

volunteer their time to make it so.

The very traditions

of the Bachelors of Austin

are the result of years of service

by dedicated individuals

and a solid and loyal membership.

and host a great social season,

I would especially like

to thank Layne Cricket

and his wife Susan for serving.-...

I hear you have songs on the radio

and you're meant for better things.

It'd be awful to have these

good times and not have life itself.

I wanna meet you before you move on

- and leave us behind.
