Only If You Want To...
over the phone
pauses
Lydia Harris:
The burgundy carpet is out of stock: it's going to take twelve weeks. Did you like any of the other colors?
Bob:
Whatever you like - I'm just completely lost.
Lydia Harris:
It's just carpet.
Bob:
That's not what I'm talking about.
Lydia Harris:
What are you talking about?
Bob:
I don't know. I just want to... get healthy. I would like to start taking better care of myself. I'd like to start eating healthier - I don't want all that pasta. I would like to start eating like Japanese food.
icily, biting his tongue, pause
Lydia Harris:
Do I need to worry about you, Bob?
Bob:
Only if you want to.
