DOUGLAS:Richard?

RICHARD:Over there is fine.

NANCY:Yvonne!

YVONNE:I'm almost finished!

NANCY:Believe me,Douglas,yvonne promised she would take the day off.

She said she had done enough work for one week.

And now she is in there with a calculator¹.

DOUGLAS:I know.I know.

RICHARD:Douglas,don't be shy.

DOUGLAS:This looks great.

RICHARD:It smells fantastic.

NANCY:Dig in.Yvonne!

YVONNE:Two seconds!

RICHARD:Douglas,Yvonne mentioned you were in Chicago.

DOUGLAS:Yeah.For a seminar² on selling commercial property.

It was just a couple of days.This is delicious.

But the flight back was horrible.We flew through a huge storm.

NANCY:I hate airplanes.

RICHARD:You told me you were over that.

NANCY:Not when I hear these stories.

DOUGLAS:This was pretty bad.

At one point,the flight attendants³ told us we had to take crash positions.

NANCY:No.And then the pilot came on and said we couldn't land.

It was absolutely terrifying.

RICHARD:Of course,statistically,it's very safe.

NANCY:Tell that to the people in the crash position.

DOUGLAS:Well to be fair,I lived to tell the story.I am here.

NANCY:But your wife isn't.Yvonne!

DOUGLAS:Yvonne,we ate all the food!

RICHARD:There's nothing left.You missed it.

DANNY:OK.I'll tell him you called.Hey,that was Lisa.

She said you were supposed to meet her.

MICHAEL:I know.I was.Was she mad?

DANNY:Was she mad!

MICHAEL:Oh boy,I blew it.

DANNY:Well,she said she was going home and she'd call you later.What happened?

MICHAEL:I taped in the Square this morning.

Then I had a meething over at school with my advisor⁴.

First of all,he wea 45 minutes late.

Then after a complete progress report, he decides to go over the whole project from the top.

DANNY:Temper,Michael.He is your graduate advisor.

Lisa will calm down.It's nothing a little gesture on your part won't fix.

DANNY:Ask her to marry you.

MICHAEL:Let's not go to extetremes.

DANNY:Tell her it'll never happen again.

MICHAEL:I told her that the last time.

DANNY:Well well well,you do have a problem,don't you?

MICHAEL:I could grovel⁵.

DANNY:Groveling is an option.Now,personally I don't grouvel.

I just inspire women to break upo with me.

MICHAEL:Maybe you should try groveling.
