Mitzi is still all smiles the next morning while eating breakfast. Ray is up taking pictures of his eggs and toast when she leaves the bathroom after showering.
Ray walks over and gives Mitzi a kiss on the cheek…
Raymond: Good morning babe… feeling better?
Mitzi: I haven’t felt this good in a long time!
Raymond: Good… glad to see a smile on your face.
Mitzi: Me too… thank you for putting it there.
Ray has a lot on his mind this morning. He feels as if he has a ton of nervous energy that needs to be released. He tries to occupy himself in different ways, but he knows that there’s only one way to deal with it…
Ray goes to Mitzi’s office, where she is busy writing jokes.
Raymond: I know you’re busy babe, but there’s someplace I want to take you.
Mitzi: Where?
An hour later, Mitzi and Ray are sitting on a bench near the waterfront kissing.
Mitzi: This is a gorgeous location and all, but we could have done this at home.
Raymond: This is not all I brought you here for.
Suddenly Mitzi starts to giggle.
Raymond: What’re you laughing about?
Mitzi: I don’t know… I know it’s silly, but I just had the strangest feeling that you were about to propose or something.
Raymond: *serious tone* That’s because I am…
Mitzi: Am what?
Ray doesn’t answer… instead, he gets down on one knee and fumbles around in his pocket before pulling out a ring.
Mitzi: *shocked* Oh my God Ray! You’re serious!
Raymond: Of course I am…I’m serious about you and I want you to be my wife.
Raymond: Will you marry me, Mitzi?
Mitzi is speechless. She grabs the ring and stares at it before slipping it on her finger but doesn’t answer. Ray gets off his knee as if he is in pain.
Raymond: So, is this happening or not woman?
Mitzi: *smiles* Of course I’ll marry you, Ray! I knew that I would when I first met you.
Now Ray is the one that’s speechless.
Ray lifts Mitzi up in his arms.
Raymond: Do you know how happy that makes me?!
Mitzi can tell from Ray’s strained tone that she’s a bit heavier than Ray anticipated.
Mitzi: *giggles* You can put me down, Ray!
Ray tries to play it off, but he quickly places Mitzi’s feet back on the ground.
Mitzi: Is this why you resisted moving in with me? You were planning to propose?
Raymond: Yeah… I didn’t just want to move in with a girlfriend. If I’m going to live with a woman, besides my sister of course… I want her to be my wife!
Mitzi: Aw… Ray!
Raymond: Ah shoot… I have to go!
Ray turns to leave. Mitzi calls after him…
Mitzi: Where are you going?
Raymond: To work! If I’m going to be paying for a wedding, I have to make some money! See you tonight!
Mitzi: Okay… later!
Now that they are engaged, Mitzi goes into a cleaning frenzy trying to get the house ready, in case Ray decides to finally move in.
Mitzi attempts to get some work done before bed but ends up chatting with Beverly most of the time. Although Mitzi was warned that Beverly is a little off her rocker… Mitzi is still beginning to like her and wouldn’t mind starting up a friendship with her.
Mitzi once again intends to stay up until Ray gets home so they can celebrate their engagement. But when he drags himself home hours later, Mitzi is already fast asleep.
