 Cueball is making an honest profession of his feelings. This is often held up as a valuable thing in cementing a relationship. In the first three panels, he makes the kind of cliched poetic, romantic statements that would typically be expected. In the last panel, however, he undercuts all of this by crassly revealing that he also really wants to have sex with his paramour's sister. This theme would later be used in [[279: Pickup Lines]], [[317: That Lovin' Feelin']], and panel 20 of [[442: xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel]].
