dialogue: Husband: Happy Anniversary! Wife: Oh, thank you. They're beautiful. You shouldn't have ... especially since our anniversary was last week. Husband: What? Oh, I completely forgot ... Wife: Again? Husband: No Way. I can't believe it. Wife: Neither can I, but you did. Husband: Ah, how can I make it up to you ... again? Anything! Wife: Okay, let's negotiate. [Negotiate?] First of all, I want to go on that dream vacation you've always promised me. Husband: You mean, to Chicago? Wife: No! To Europe. I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding. Husband: Ah, were those places that bad? Wife: Well, SOMETHING a little nicer, at least once in a blue moon, would be nice. [Well ... ] And, oh yeah. Next, I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath weeks ago. Husband: But we ... Wife: No, we're NOT going to use the outdoor barbecue anymore. It isn't any fun at all cooking outside in the winter, with icicles hanging from your nose. Husband: That bad? Wife: Not for YOU since you're always watching from inside. Husband: Oh, well. Wife: And finally, I want a new wardrobe: some new dresses, shirts, pants, earrings ... Husband: But ... Wife: And, NO, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again. Husband: Is that it? Wife: Uh, hmm, for now. So, why don't we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure. Husband: But lunch wasn't on the list. Wife: Let's see. Paris, Rome, London, then a short detour to Russia, China, [What?!] and, ooh, and Hawaii on the way home. Husband: Wow. I'd better ask the boss for a huge raise.
