"Honey, we have to talk."
"For heaven's sake. Do we have to go into this again??"
"Why won't you listen to reason? We agreed on this when we got married!"
"And that was twenty years ago, and you haven't let up in the last ten! I changed my mind!"
"We aren't getting any younger."
"Look....I just can't go through all that again."
"I will get up at night."
"I am too old to cope with the stages."
"I will cope with the stages."
"Uh huh. And you won't cope with what starts to happen when it turns thirteen."
"At this rate, I won't live long enough to remember!"
"Honey, honestly...I can't do this."
"Then what if we just get a small one? Say...a dachshund?"
