Future Imagination
- Come on, when can we move in together?
- Hmm... I...am not sure when.
- You are always saying the same thing! Always uncertain replies!
- Oh, that's not true.
- You don't wanna move in together?
- That's not true. I do.
- That's exactly what you keep saying. I thought if we lived together, we could save some money for rent and make sure we're right for each other, so it would be good for both of us.
- Relax. We don't need to hurry.
- It's always the same conversation with the same words and we end up just like this.
- Well, imagine what it would be like living together: we would be together 24 hours a day. Wouldn't you feel suffocated?
- You...you get suffocated being with someone you love?
- No, I mean... I, of course, not. I don't get suffocated being with someone I love.
- That's what you just said!
- Ugh, no... Yes. I said that.
- Then, tell me who you are NOT going to get suffocated with.
- No..., you...
- I know you've been getting very close to Linda lately. Do you know she is a friend of mine?
- What? Did she say something to you?
- No. She didn't say anything, but she didn't have to. I know.
- Huh?
- Forget it. Never mind. I can see what's gonna happen if I live with a guy like you.
