<p></p>
<p>Lila: Why aren’t you dating? I have so many friends who would love to go out with you.</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: Let’s change the subject. Talking about my love life isn’t very interesting.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: But really, you’re not getting any younger and…</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: Moving on! Have you seen any good movies lately?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: Listen, all of your friends are settling down and you don’t want to go through life alone and lonely…</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: That reminds me, didn’t you say that you were going to get another dog so that Rover isn’t lonely when you’re not home?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: Forget about my dog. You remember Rachel, don’t you? She just broke up with her boyfriend and she’d be perfect for you.</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: Speaking of Rachel, how is her mother? Wasn’t she in the hospital?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: If Rachel isn’t your type, how about Amina? She has great legs and I know you’re a leg man.</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: And now for something completely different…How is your diet coming along? Have you lost any weight yet?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: I don’t really want to talk about my weight. </p>
<p></p>
<p>George: But I think you’re having trouble shedding those pounds, right? I have lots of suggestions on what you can do.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: Anyway, as I said before, I don’t really want to talk about my diet…</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: You need to cut out sweets if you want to lose weight. Are you eating too many sweets? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Lila: That’s none of your business!</p>
<p></p>
<p>George: My sentiments exactly!</p>
