A man with yellow hair kneels with his back to us, holding open a ring box toward an orange-haired woman in a purple shirt, outdoors among trees. He says he's been thinking about this a long time and went out late last night to get her this. She asks what's the matter. He says 'Oh god... I left that in there, didn't I...' A close-up below shows the open ring box: behind the engagement ring is a handwritten note reading '432-0769, CALL ME! :), Amanda' with a heart, revealing he proposed with a box that still held another woman's phone number from his night out. Votey: a sketchy close-up of his pained, grimacing face as he stammers, 'She doesn't mean that much more then you, to me.'
