Are You Listening?
BOY: I’ve been meaning to talk to you for quite a while
GIRL: What’s on your mind? You know I haven’t much time.
BOY: I know, I know that's why I called this ‘meeting’…
GIRL: This isn’t a business deal, funny! What have you been thinking?
BOY: Well, this is kind of hard for me to say…
GIRL: Times running out honey, shall we leave it for another day?
BOY: You don’t really listen to me and hear my thoughts or opinions!
GIRL: Whatever…this isn’t going to be about relationships, power and
dominion..?
BOY: See! You’re doing it now. I can’t take it any more!
GIRL: Honey, if you don’t speed up I’m going through the door.
BOY: Look! This isn’t working out at all. What should we do?
GIRL: Ok that’s great baby, still meeting for lunch at two?
BOY: I’ve had it with you! You only think of yourself!
GIRL: I hear you baby, but hurry. Anything else?
BOY: Yes, I’ve decided I’m leaving you now. Understand me ok?
GIRL: Right, right…as I thought, we’ll leave it for later today.
