Dan has been away working, and has brought back a present for Sadie, which she insists on trying out.
Sadie: Why don’t we try it this way?
Dan: Ah – no – that’s never going to work…ow!
Sadie: Sorry! Well maybe if you – no – hang on! You’ve got it upside down!
Dan: Well how can I? It only goes one way!
Sadie: No, you idiot – you’ve got the BOOK upside down!
Dan: I guess this wasn’t a very good present after all – I should have just got you a bottle of Bailey’s from the airport!
Sadie: Ah well it was a nice thought…
Dan: Oh crikey, Sadie, look at the time! We’re supposed to be meeting Rick for a drink and we can’t be late! Come on, we’ve got half an hour to get ready.
Sadie: Half an hour! But I’ve got to get my make-up on!
Dan: Sadie, I’m serious – we can’t be late, Rick could put some work my way and I want to make a good impression. Can’t you – I dunno – just put a couple of layers on or something?
Sadie: Are you telling me to tone it down? Because if you are –
Dan: Of course I’m not! I just don’t want to keep Rick waiting. If you want to wear fluorescent yellow lip gloss and fuschia pink eyeshadow, that’s not a problem – I just want you to get ready quickly!
Sadie: Well – okay – I’ll see what I can do…
A short time later –
Sadie: Well? Was that quick enough for you, Mr. O’Hara? Do I meet with your approval?
Dan: Sadie, you look fantastic! You know, I would never try and tell you how you should look – but you look just as good without all the make-up on. Well, better – I can see what you look like, and I like that.
Sadie: Really? Well – maybe you’re right – I do look pretty good, don’t I?
Dan: More than pretty good, Sadie.
