Young Denis Thatcher:
Margaret, will you marry me? [a pause, Margaret stares at him] Young Denis Thatcher:
Well? Young Margaret Thatcher:
[Margaret is still staring, Denis kisses her hand]

[Margaret starts to cry from happiness, Denis leans in for a kiss, but she suddenly pulls back]

That's why I want to marry you, my dear
