Song of Love

Winnifred: Actually, my full name is 'Winnifred the Woebegone', but Winnifred
is a little too formal.
You can call me by my nickname.
Dauntless: Winnie?
Winnifred: Fred.
Dauntless: Fred.
What a beautiful name.
So straight, so strong, so… you.
I like you, Fred, I like you.
Winnifred: You’re just saying those words to be kind-
Dauntless: No, I mean it, I like, I mean I love you, Fred!
Winnifred: He is out of his midieval mind!
Dauntless: I’m perfectly sane and sound!
I’ve never felt better in my life!
Everybody, everybody, everybody come!
And meet my incipient wife!
I’m in love with a girl named Fred
My reasons must be clear
When she shows you all how strong she is, you’ll stand right up and cheer!
Knights and Ladies: With an F and an R and an E and a D and and F-R-E-D Fred!
Yay!
