  • Rosalie:             Don’t forget, Jim and Adrian are coming over tonight.

  • Tracy:                 Well, I forgot.
  • Rosalie:             You forget all too easily if you ask me.
  • Tracy:                 Anyway, I’ve made other plans.
  • Rosalie:             Like what?

Dialogue 36 — Family Squabble

  • Brother:             Come on! It’s time to go!
  • Sister:                Wait a minute! Just hold your horses! What’s your hurry, anyway?
  • Brother:             Well, I’ve got to stop and get gas in the car, first.
  • Sister:                That won’t take long.
  • Brother:             Well, it won’t if there’s no line at the pump.
  • Sister:                Well, I’m not quite ready.
  • Brother:            I’ll give you five more minutes, then I’m going on without you!
  • Sister:                You wouldn’t do a thing like that!
