"I guess what I'm trying to say Barbara is, will you marry me?"

The next morning, outside a little flower shop, a man was knelt before a woman asking her to be his wife.

She looked down at him. "Oh, I dunno Collin. You're a lovely man, but I'm looking for someone to sweep me off my feet. You know, whisk me off to a life of adventure. Could that be you?"

The man named Collin frowned. "No."

The woman looked surprised. "Oh..."

"Not with my chronic lack of self-confidence. Uh, I best be off." He said, getting up and walking away.

"Oh, but Collin..."

"Sorry to have wasted your time, Barbara." He walked over to the street and put his hand up. "Taxi!"

The taxi blew past him, hitting a puddle of water, getting him soaked.

Collin then sighed and sat down at a small table outside a cafe, when a waiter approached him.

"Eh, Monsieur, can I help you?" The waiter asked.

"Oh, waiter. Do you have anything for a broken heart?" Collin asked.

The waiter turned out to be Willy, who leaned down and looked between him and Barbara.

🎵Willy: "So the taxis never stop. The girls think you're a flop. You're wet and cold, you're getting old, your confidence is shot."🎵

Willy took his napkin and dabbed the man's wet suit.

🎵Collin: "It's true."🎵

🎵Willy: "When people look at you, they seem to look straight through. Or like you're something brown they found upon the bottom of their shoe."🎵

🎵Collin: "Have you been following me?"🎵

🎵Willy: "But this should lift the gloom, my giraffe milk macaroon."🎵

Willy placed the napkin on the table, and lifted it again, revealing a small plate of macaroons decorated with the colors and spots of a giraffe.

🎵Willy: "Just take a chance and you'll be dancing to a different tune. Goodbye to feeling small, and frightened of it all."🎵

Collin took a macaroon and popped it in his mouth, his eyes widening.

🎵Willy: "Just eat a few of these and you'll be feeling ten feet tall."🎵

Collin stood up, his body language radiating confidence. He and Willy stepped on top of some tables and started dancing.

🎵Willy: Well, there's chocolate, and there's chocolate. Only Wonka's makes your confidence sky-rocke-let."🎵

Another worker came out and ripped the tablecloths off the tables they were standing on.

🎵Worker: "He doesn't even work here!"🎵
