Dialog (Dinner at the Millers')

– Babe.

– What.

– Do you think I should wear this shirt?

– I don't know. Where are you going?

– You mean where we're going. We're having dinner at the Millers'.

– Oh, no! I totally forgot!

– Shocking.

– What? I have more important things to think about.

– Me too, but we promised we'd go, remember?

– No, you said so. I just put on a silly face and played dumb. You were the one acting as if you were over the moon about it.

– Are you blaming me?

– Of course I am. You kept saying, "We have to meet soon" and then you quickly exchanged phones. Now you're on their contact list forever.

– I give my number all the time at work, but I've never gone out with any of my clients.

– That's not true. You once had dinner at that pizza place.

– Did I? With who?

– Some Martin Scorsese.

– Really? I can't remember. Anyway, get dressed. I don't want to be late.

– I'm dressed.

– Then do your makeup.

– I just did.

– Really? Then don't forget to grab your invisibility cloak.

– Okay. Let's go over with it and pretend we're normal people.

– Good idea, and if that doesn't work, pretend to be a lamp.

– Still. They won’t even notice us unless we bring wine.
