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.
