Dialogue 1:
Peace before War…
Guy: Honey, why aren’t you sleeping yet?
Wife: Have you eaten dinner?
Guy: Yup, you waited for me? Sorry honey, I’ve forgotten to call.
Silence…
Guy: Come on, don’t be like this!
Silence…
Guy: I’ve already apologized for not calling…
War…
Wife: You’ve been out all night without any news – no calls, no sight of you, nothing! Do you know how worried am I? Yet, you are back home late at night, reek of alcohol, not bothering about what is happening at home.
Guy: You should have just called me!
Wife: Call you? You would probably say I’m suspecting you or disturbing you from your work won’t you!
Guy: Look, what are you angry about? About I’m not reporting to you wherever I go, or are you actually suspecting I’m fooling outside?
Wife: Oh please, I waited for you the whole night, worrying about you, heating up the dinner for you, you did not even call home once and I cannot be angry? And now, you are saying that I suspect you fooling around? Fine, I will not care about you anymore.
Peace after war:
Guy: Honey, I’m so sorry. I know I should have called you. I met my friends on my way home thus we went for a drink nearby. Sorry, I’ll call you the next time. Oh, No, there won’t be a second time.
Silence…
Guy: I know that I shouldn’t have say that. Sorry, honey! I know that you are worried for me the whole evening, I’m so sorry. Forgive me, k?
Silence…
Guy: Have you eaten? Well, lets go finish up the food you left for me! I can still eat!
