Lucy says, "Well, what I mean is, if you and I ever get married, will . . ."<BR><BR> Schroeder says, "No, I can't comprehend that . . . I can't conceive that ever happening . . ." Lucy continues and says, "Well let's just say it did, and . . ."<BR><BR> Schroeder says, "No I just can't conceive of such a thing . . . It's like thinking about what lies beyond outer space . . . My mind can't comprehend that . . ." Lucy says, "But can't we just say that by some miracle we did get married, and . . ."<BR><BR> Schroeder says, "No, my mind cannot even begin to grasp such a thought . . . It reels . . . The whole concept is simply beyond my comprehension."<BR><BR> Lucy says, "My aunt Marian was right . . . Never try to discuss marriage with a rock musician!"<BR><BR>
