Lincoln was doing Ana's hair for her wedding by putting every bow we own in it and said, "You look beautiful. You're starting to look like an African person." Then later, he said, "You're the most beautiful girl in the world...." pause "....with all these bows in your hair."

Lincoln - 'Them' is not a word.
Me - 'Them'? Yeah it is. 'What did you get THEM for Christmas?'
Lincoln - What did you get ME for Christmas? THAT's the question.
