Is her name Dawn?

So, Dawn, is this a duel, or will you be my second?

Bad protocol here. The one being challenged to a duel has the choice of weapons, not the challenger. Very bad form, I must say!

Sorry, can’t make it, shotgun wedding.

Get there early and stand with your back to the sun. Then step aside and shoot.
