Character 1 - Giselle
Character 2 - Robert

Dialogue: 

Robert: My dear, you look ravishing today !
Giselle: Thank you darling, do you like it ?

Robert:  The colors are perfect for your skin !
Giselle:  I thought so also, do you like the material ?

Robert:  I do indeed, so delightful and bright !
Giselle:  Does the material remind you of anything ?

Robert:  Well, now that you mention it, my curtains !
Giselle:  Do you think I would make a dress out of curtains ?

Robert:  No, of course not, that was silly of me !
Giselle:  Do you like how it flows all billowy in the breeze ?

Robert:  I do indeed, the inside panel all filmy and soft !
Giselle:  Well, darling did you really like your curtains ?

Robert:  I do, now hold on a second dear heart !
Giselle:  Yes, darling this dress could be made of curtains ?

Robert:  And now I see that it is, what a talent you are !
Giselle:  Oh thank goodness, I thought you would be angry ?

Robert: So let me get this straight you are wearing my curtains !
Giselle: Exactly, they were too pretty for a window don't you think ?
