A Lovers' Tiff

The lady:               ” I am getting tired of your jabbering---Wouldn’t it be nice to take you  
                             on a cruise…wouldn’t be nice to live  in a beach house.--I am tired  
                             of your empty promises.”                                                      
The gentleman:      “They are my fantasies. You are always starring in them. I don’t   
                              make rash promises.”
The lady:               “My mind is made up. I don’t want you near.” 
The gentleman:      “That has been my fear.”

The gentleman:      “What we had is something. You mean everything.”
The lady:               “You just need to comprehend“
The gentleman:      “No I can no longer pretend. . .”
The lady:               “Don’t sound like you now care.”
The gentleman:      “Life without you I cannot bear. What we have is rare.”
The lady:               “We have got to make things right.”
The gentleman:      “I think about that every night. We have to stop this fight.”
The lady:	             “I need space. I want to straighten my life.”
The gentleman:      “I want you to be my wife.”
The lady:	         Speechless
