Go Your Own Way
‘I’ve peeled the potatoes. Shall I put them in the oven?’
            ‘What do you think? Do you notice a difference?’
            ‘Yes, much better, darling. I said, Shall I put the potatoes in the oven?’
            ‘We need to get more bleach. My back’s killing me.’
            ‘I thought I could do some red peppers to go with the pork.’
            ‘Those tiles up there were filthy. I’ve done what I can, but we can’t go on like this.’
            ‘No, we can’t. Why don’t you give it a rest?’
            ‘Did you put the potatoes in the oven, darling?’
            ‘That’s what I came to ask you.’
            ‘Can you fetch me the vacuum cleaner?’ . . .
 
‘Well?’
            ‘Well what? Pass me that cloth, will you?’
            ‘What about the potatoes?’
            ‘Are they already done?’
            ‘I haven’t even put them in the oven!’
            ‘Well, what are you waiting for? How’s it looking?’
            ‘You missed a bit in the corner.’
            ‘Where?’
            ‘I was joking, darling. OK, I’d better get on.’
            ‘Can you get me a stool?’
            ‘In a minute. First, I’m going to put the potatoes in.’
            ‘Did you remember Mum’s coming today?’
            ‘How can I remember if you never told me?’
            ‘Hurry up with that stool, darling.’
