William was never a good talker, especially to women and this surprise startled him. He was able to get the words out, "H-h-hello there, u-um, u-uh, w- what's with, u-um, u-uh, t-talking with m-me?". By the end of this "short" sentence he was blushing and embarrassed and he was about to leave so he doesn't embarrass himself anymore than he needs to.  As he is trying to regain his composure to exit himself he drops his fork and as he picks up the fork he hit his head on the counter.
