A: Are you even listening? I’m trying to have a conversation with you.
B: And I’m trying to watch the game, but you’re yapping on about your new clothes!
A: Well I have to decide which gifts to keep and which to exchange for better ones when I go to the Boxing Day sales this afternoon!
B: Well could you do me the favor of making this quick? It’s the third quarter and you’ve been blabbering on since the first!
A: Oh, your precious game. You watch the same game every year, and each year your beloved hometown team loses by at least three goals!
B: Oh no you didn’t. You didn’t just insult the Sals-bury Seals, did you? Why don’t you just. just go and return all of those stupid clothes and not come back until the sales are over?
A: I might just! Enjoy your stupid game!
B: And Merry Christmas!
A: Merry Christmas!
