Are You Awake?

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.

Bob

: 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.

............

Lydia Harris

: Do I need to worry about you, Bob?

Bob : Only if you want to.
