Carly: Wow, these scales aren't kind at all! Was feeling like having a fat day today too! What
with Rose coming round.
Robert: Hi, darling. Late niter again, slept in the spare room so not to wake ya.
Carly: I was wondering where you were just before I sparked out after my power walk. Then I was
dead to the world. You could have divorced me for all I knew.
Robert: Divorce? Don't think that's a word I've used yet.
Carly: What?
Robert: Oh, nothing. You're having Rose round for dinner right?
Carly: Yes, but she'll be gone by eight if you want to join me. By seven thirty if she's feeling quite eaty.
Robert: Yes, I think I will join you if you don't mind. I do have something I want to say to you.
Carly: Is it a surprise? Oh, do tell me. I do like surprises.
Robert: Its not something I say everyday, no, but you'll have to wait. Otherwise it won't be a surprise
will it?
Carly: I suppose not. Though I will be scoffing my food down in full anticipation, so it'd better be good.
Robert: Well, later then and you'll find out. Now I'll leave you and your leggings to your run my dear.
Carly: Oh, they're all the fashion now don't you know. I'll be wearing them all the time. And for folks
like me with a yo-yoing figure they're just the ticket. They're quite stretchable you see.
Robert: Yes, I do see. They're not the same pair you wore in the eighties are they?
Carly: Oh, no, but they look the same. You know I'll only wear black. Its such a slimming color.
Robert: I know, you wouldn't have anything else.
