A long forgotten conversation
Her: [Pause] Do you love me?
Him: Of course I do.
Her: How much?
Him: I don't know . . . loads. To infinity and then some.
Her: [Contentedly] Good.
Him: That's that sorted, then.
Her: [Playfully] So what would you do if I ever split up with you?
Him: Are you going to do that?
Her: No.
Him: Then why are we talking about it?
Her: It's called conversation. People do it all the time.
Him: So let me get this straight, the question is what would I do if you hypothetically dumped me?
Her: Yes.
Him: Hypothetically nothing.
Her: Nothing?
Him: Well, as we're mad about each other it'd take me doing something pretty stupid for you to want to get rid of me. [Pause] Like if I started biting my own toenails or something. I'd dump me if I started doing that.
Her: Do you always have to be so logical?
Him: [Laughs] I'd be devastated. Destroyed. Dismantled. And other words beginning with "D."
Her: But what would you do?
Him: Do? [Pause] I would do everything in my power to get you back.
Her: Like what?
Him: Climbing the highest mountain, crossing scorching deserts, fighting man-eating tigers--that sort of thing. Granted there aren't that many tigers, mountains or deserts in Muswell Hill. But you get my drift.
Her: What if the odds were impossible?
Him: Then I'd die trying.
Her: What if I told you I didn't love you anymore?
Him: I wouldn't believe you.
Her: But you wouldn't ever give up trying?
Him: Nah. Some things you can't give up on, can you?
Her: Mr. Duffy, you've answered every single question correctly.
Him: Great, so what do I win?
Her: Me.
