Lydia Harris: [over the phone] Is this a bad time?
Bob: [pauses] No, it's always a good time.
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.
Lydia Harris: [icily] Well, why don't you just stay there and you can have it every day?
Bob: [biting his tongue] How are the kids doing?
Lydia Harris: They're fine. They miss their father. [pause] Do I need to worry about you, Bob?
Bob: Only if you want to.

莉蒂亞：（透過電話）你方便講電話嗎？
包伯：（停頓）嗯，隨時都方便。
莉蒂亞：酒紅色的地毯已經沒貨了。要調貨要十二個禮拜。你還有其他喜歡的花色嗎？
包伯：選你喜歡的就好—我現在好混亂。
莉蒂亞：只是選個地毯而已。
包伯：我不是在說那個。
莉蒂亞：那你在說什麼？
包伯：我不知道。我是想…過的健康一點。我想要開始好好照顧自己。我要開始吃的健康一點—我不想老是吃義大利麵。我想要開始吃日本料理。
莉蒂亞：（冷淡地）那你為什麼不乾脆留在那裡，就可以每天吃日本料理了？
包伯：（無話可說）孩子們怎麼樣？
莉蒂亞：他們很好。他們也很想念爸爸。（停頓）我需要擔心你嗎，包伯？
包伯：你想擔心才擔心。
