"Marry me."
"Jesus, Bart. What are you trying to prove?"
..."Nothing. You're right. I like men. I do, I fucking well do! And you like women. Let's get married. We love each other, don't we?" [loc. 1122]

Bart and Bettina have grown up together, privileged and good-looking, too young to be personally affected by the Great War (though Bettina's older brother came home with a bad case of shellshock and a single arm).
