“But you said…”
“Yes, I know. But things have changed”
“But you promised!”
“I know darling! But, you know, things are different now”
“All I know is that you PROMISED!”
“Listen, I… See. I can’t, anymore…”
“I thought you’d keep your word”
“I always do. It’s just…”
“No you don’t! You aren’t keeping it NOW!”
“You HAVE to understand. Please understand”
“I understand. But still, you promised. Wasn’t it you who taught
me to
Say what I mean and mean what I say?”
“Yes, and now I want you to
Do as I say and not as I do!”
