Transcript excerpt

I can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today's day five of Door Dashing for a diamond ring. But why spend 6,500 when she'd be happy with less? On our first date, my girlfriend wore scuffed shoes from Primark and a blouse she had had since high school. She doesn't ever get her nails done, and she goes to the salon at most once a year. So truthfully, she would be happier with a cheaper rank. She never demanded more. But love isn't about what she'll accept. It's about what I just wanted to give, and I wanna give her everything. No, yeah, I could get her a cheaper rank, but I don't want to. I want this one, her dream one. Five days in, a $146.28 out of 6,500. Man, it is cold. Follow to see how long it takes.
