| Hank: |
Sue, Sue! There's a
wonderful little clothing shop up the street.
|
Sue:
|
Oh?
|
Hank:
|
Yes. And there is the most
beautiful outfit in the window. It's so perfect for me. It's pink and
just right for summer. It's cotton and washable so...no dry cleaning
bills.
|
Sue:
|
How much?
|
Hank:
|
Sue, it's a bargain. It's
reduced from $165.00.
|
Sue:
|
To what?
|
Hank:
|
It's on sale. Really Sue, I
can't live without it.
|
Sue:
|
But Hank, your closet is
full of clothes. You can't get another thing into it.
|
Hank:
|
How can you say that? I
haven't got a thing to wear. Besides, it's a small closet.
|
Sue:
|
Hank, be serious. Come
here. Now look at all these clothes!
|
Hank:
|
Well, what about them?
|
Sue:
|
Now look, what's wrong with
this?
|
Hank:
|
I can't wear it.
|
Sue:
|
Why not?
|
Hank:
|
It's too small.
|
Sue:
|
Then give it away.
|
Hank:
|
No, I can't.
|
Sue:
|
Why not?
|
Hank:
|
It's one of my favorites.
|
Sue:
|
All right, all right. What
about this, and this, and this?
|
Hank:
|
Well, that one's too small,
and that one's too short, and that one's too young for me now, and that
on's so old. Really Sue, I don't have a thing to wear, and the outfit
in the shop is just perfect.
|
Sue:
|
How much?
|
Hank:
|
Not very much really.
|
Sue:
|
How much? Come on, tell me.
|
Hank:
|
Only $140.00.
|
Sue:
|
No, no, absolutely not.
That's too much. That's almost two days' pay. NO.
|
Hank:
|
Sue. Sit down. I have
something to tell you.
|
Sue:
|
What? Oh no, don't start
crying. I can't stand it. It's one of your tricks. What's that? What's
that package? No. It isn't from the shop. Tell me it isn't from the
shop. No, I can't believe it. Hank. What's in the package? Don't cry,
for heaven's sake. It's all right. I'm not going to leave you. Just
take it back in the morning.
|
Hank:
|
I can't.
|
Sue:
|
Why not? Tell me why not.
|
Hank:
|
You can't return things on
sale. |
Sue:
|
I give up. I give up.
|
Hank:
|
Sue? Sue? Where are you
going?
|
Sue:
|
Out.
|
Hank:
|
Where?
|
Sue:
|
Out.
|
Hank:
|
When are you coming home?
|
Sue:
|
I don't know.
|
Hank:
|
You don't love me anymore.
|
Sue:
|
That's ridiculous. But I'm
still going out. Goodbye.
