-- Dunno. What do YOU think?

Are you telling me you've really never done this before? 'Cause if you are, I don't believe you.

-- Oh, I see, so that was a BAD thing?

That's not what I meant.

-- Oh for the love of... haven't you ever heard of 'do as you would be done by'? Besides, I've been thinking about it for ages.

-- Yes, really.

Any more thoughts going spare?

-- There might be.

Oh... so, are you tired?

-- Not especially.

Good. Neither am I... c'mere.
