This is really good, really interesting. Initially I wasn't sure about the presentation--about having the two of them talking at once. I guess I'm still not, but that's what tells me this is good art. It stays with you. It gives you problems to solve and you find yourself coming back to it later.
It captures the imagination to think their courtship took place in silence. And when they finally talk? He's got a Southern accent and she sounds Canadian. That's amusing.
Who gets the last word here? She does, which we might expect. But, what does she say? Ironically, it's, "...just shut up."
