Robert and Anna agree to wait until their wedding night
Scene follows after Robin, Sean, and Tiffany all learn of Robert and Anna's engagement.  Anna's slipped away to the kitchen, Robert soon following her in, carrying two martinis.

Anna: "Hello."

Robert (hands her a martini): "Hi.  It's great to have friends like Sean and Tiffany."

Anna: "Yes."

Robert: "There is a moment I do covet our privacy.

Anna: "Um, We haven't had much privacy lately, have we?"

Robert (sighs): "Yeah."

Anna: "You're not gonna change your mind on me, are you?"

Robert (surprised): "About the wedding, nah.  Do I detect a note of insecurity?"

Anna: "No.  I've never been insecure about anything in my life, I don't intent to start now."

Robert: "Why do I feel to pursue this conversation is to be courting diaster?"   (he kisses her)

Anna: "Because it probably will.  We have a verbal contract, that's enough for me, not to be taken lightly."

Robert: "All right, so what's with the wedding?"

Anna: "Well, not actually.  I sorta wanted to talk about our, um, sleeping arrangements."

Robert (lets out a deep "Um"): "Now, one of the more substantial benefits of this relationship."

Anna (grins at him): "Substantial?"

Robert: "Um hmm."

Anna: "So, you gonna come home with Robin and me?"

Robert (suddently getting an idea): "Ah, I see.  Well, I've been thinking.   In the interests of history, maybe, maybe, uh, for a while.. you known, until, you know, until people get married, actually when they get to this stage, they don't kinda do that.  So I was thinking that in the spirit of tradition that maybe we should, uh, just, we just abstain maybe for a little.  Uh, am I confusing you?"  (he's daring her to abstain from sex, but at the same time, he wants her to give in)

Anna: "No.  You're saying we shouldn't sleep together until we get married."

Robert (starting to change his mind): "If you put it that way, um, yah I guess.  On the other hand, if you feel that your a little ackward, maybe have a problem with..."

Anna: "No, no, I don't have a problem with that."

Robert: "You don't?"

Anna (calling his bluff): "Uh uh.  No."  (she shakes her head no)

Robert (trying to get her to change her mind): "Well, you might want to think about it."

Anna (smirking): "I've thought about it."

Robert: "Oh, well, uh.  You know, it's never good to be hasty about a situation."

Anna: "Absolutely."

Robert: "Something this important."

Anna (smiling): "But no.  This is very important, and I think it's very commendable and a noble gesture on your part, and we will not sleep together until we get married."

Robert (looking unhappy): "Um.  What's noble about it?"  (Anna laughs loudly, and he sighs loudly).  "Okay."

Anna: "So, what I suggest to you is you set a date."  (she laughs loudly again as Robert reaches over quickly and tries to use the phone to call to set the wedding arrangements.)  "I don't think anything's open."

Robert: "Oh, too late."  (hangs up the phone defeat, while Anna laughs at him.)
