What's really going on
The scene runs on a simple joke with real feeling under it: Theo cannot find the word he needs, so the confession arrives broken — 'I love your Miss Hunter' — and everyone has to guess what he means. His friend teases him with the image of a dictionary whose 'two pages stuck together,' which is both funny and forgiving. What matters is not the grammar but the willingness to say it at all, and Theo's broken declaration pushes the whole group past its awkwardness. The misunderstanding is settled when Candy explains that Edith was never his fiancee, which clears the way for something new to begin. The drinks — 'cheers,' 'bottom up' — become the way the room absorbs the confession. It is the film's gentlest joke: a man too flustered to find a word nearly changes three lives.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
What is Theo trying to say when he cannot find the word?
He wants to tell Edith that he loves her. The sentence breaks into pieces — 'I love your Miss Hunter' — and the missing word is the one that would have made it a marriage proposal.
What does "cuckoo" mean?
It is a light way of saying someone is crazy or being silly. Theo repeats it to insist he is not cuckoo, even as he behaves exactly like a man in love.
Why does everyone laugh at Theo's dictionary?
Because the joke explains his odd English kindly: if two pages of the dictionary were stuck together, the words would come out scrambled. It turns his mistake into affection.
What changes when Candy says Edith was never his fiancee?
It clears the obstacle. Everyone had assumed there was a romance to protect, and the admission leaves Theo and Edith free to begin one.
