Difficulty expressing himself

 Bill became animated again. "You mean there's nobody else?"

"Nobody."

Bill's animation approached the fever point. "Then do you think - do you suppose - might it happen - would it be - er - putting it another way, it is possible - "

"Crisper, crisper, and simpler. What you're trying to suggest now is that perhaps I might one day love you? Am I right?"

"You take the words out of my mouth."

"I had to, or they would never have emerged at all."

(from Doctor Sally, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
