In the title text, he attempts to excuse his crass statement by reasoning that the sister is very attractive.

Transcript

[Cueball is standing talking in the same position in all four panels. Seems like he has hair in panel 2.]
Cueball: I want to be brave enough to tell you how I feel.
Cueball: I want to say "I love you" before I hang up the phone for once.
Cueball: I want to drive all night with you, listening to mix tapes, not caring where we end up.
Cueball: Oh, and I also really want to get with your sister.
Cueball: I mean, DAMN.
