Because I am going to have you some day, if I have anything to say about it.

I'll teach you to fly, and we will sure part the clouds like foam and all the rest of it.
You've got more nerve than any other girl I ever saw, and, anyway, I'd like you just the same if you was a coward, because I couldn't help it no matter what you was, just so you were Mary V.
"So good-bye, and look for me back with my chest all dolled up with medals, because I am sure coming if you will let me.

When I get to Tucson, I'll call you up on long distance, and then if your folks ain't in the room, I wish you'd tell me if it's all right with you, my loving you the way I do.

Or if they are in the room, you can just say 'all right,' and I'll know what you mean.

And anyway I'll write to you and I hope you'll write to me, because I am sure going to miss you till I come back.
