Denver:What happened?
Shepard:We had sex.
Denver:I’m sorry but…WHAT?
Shepard:We lost our virginity to one another, Penny realized she was gay, and that was that.
Denver:Is this why you don’t believe in love? Because you turned your first girlfriend into a lesbian with your terrible sex?
Shepard:First, rude. Second, it’s an interesting theory, but no.
Shepard:I don’t not believe in love, just not forever.
Denver:Right, but your feelings are totally changing.
Shepard:Oh, are they now? Why is that?
Denver:Because you’re totally falling in love with me and wanna spend the rest of your whole life with me. It’s why you bug me every day.
Shepard:Don’t make me laugh, Den.
Denver:Admit it—you’ve been thinking about our double wedding.
Shepard:You should see the scrapbook I have for it.
Shepard:Our colors are outfield green and baseball stitches red.
Denver:You know, I can see that being exactly what you want.
Shepard:Let’s not forget our venue: the comic shop, right near the Captain America comics because he IS the hottest Avenger.
Denver:Is this your way of saying you’ll be my Bucky? Because we ALL know Cap and Bucky are secretly lovers.
Shepard:AHA! You ARE a nerd!
Shepard:And no, because I call dibs on Captain America. You can be MY Bucky.
Denver:Deal, but only if you say it’s forever.
Shepard:“It’s forever.”
Denver:Shep…
Shepard:Fine, Den. Forever. You’ll always be my Bucky.

Shepard:I like Sinatra.
Shepard:Actually, I hardly listen to any modern music.
Shepard:Now you owe me another secret.
Denver:I honestly think that might have been the most shocking thing you could possibly say to me.
Denver:I, too, like Sinatra and don’t listen to modern music, though not by choice. There’s your secret.
Shepard:That doesn’t count!
