The Proposal movie plot
-
Margaret Tate: [after giving Andrew instructions on the Alaska weekend] Why aren't you taking notes?
Andrew Paxton: I'm sorry, were you not in that room?
Margaret Tate: What? Oh, oh, the thing you said about being promoted? Genius, genius. He completely fell for it.
Andrew Paxton: I was serious. I'm looking at a 250,000 dollar fine and 5 years in jail, that changes things.
Margaret Tate: Promote you to editor? No way.
Andrew Paxton: Then I quit and you're screwed. Bye bye, Margaret.
Margaret Tate: Andrew! Andrew! Fine! Fine. I'll make you editor, fine. If you do the Alaska weekend and the immigration interview, I'll make you... I'll make you editor. Happy?
Andrew Paxton: Not in two years, right away.
Margaret Tate: Fine.
Andrew Paxton: And you'll publish my manuscript.
Margaret Tate: 10,000 copies first run.
Andrew Paxton: 20,000 copies first run.

Andrew Paxton: We'll tell my family about our engagement when I want and how I want. Now, ask me nicely.
Margaret Tate: Ask you nicely what?
Andrew Paxton: Ask me nicely to marry you... Margaret.
Margaret Tate: What does that mean?
Andrew Paxton: You heard me. On your knee.
Margaret Tate: [she kneels] Fine. Does this work for you?
Andrew Paxton: Oh, I like this. Yeah.
Margaret Tate: Here you go. Will you marry me?
Andrew Paxton: No. Say it like you mean it.
Margaret Tate: Andrew.
Andrew Paxton: Yes, Margaret.
Margaret Tate: Sweet Andrew.
Andrew Paxton: I'm listening.
Margaret Tate: Would you please, with cherries on top, marry me?
Andrew Paxton: Ok. I don't appreciate the sarcasm, but I'll do it. See you at the airport tomorrow.
