me: are going to take one another's names?
her: we never talked about that before.

her: no, i'd keep mine.
me: me, too.

her: but wait, the reason i wouldn't is because i don't want to take no man's name.
me: my name is a man's name. it's my father's.

her: but ... this is blowing my mind right now, which is why i'm so quiet.
