She said, he said...

Act 1 Scene 1
She said: (Enthusiastically) Let's figure out logistics for our li'l boy's birthday!! We barely have a month...
He said: (Trying to start the TV, fiddling with the remote) Hmmm. Ya ya, let's do that.
She said: So what do you think? A few relatives and lots of friends? That'll be good? Or we separate the two crowds so we have enough time for all...
He said: (Looking slightly-open mouthed at TV) Ya ya, we can call everybody.
She said: Shall I says we'll have about 200 people over?
He said: (Eyebrows raised high and for a minute paying complete attention) 200??!!!
She said: Ya...that's what the guest list will look like when we put together your relatives, mine and our common friends.
He said: (Absorbed in his TV again) Ok!
She said: Shall we make the guest list first, so we know for sure how many people, before fixing the venue?
He said: (Looking more distant than ever before, and wanting the Earth to open up and gobble him) Ya sure, let's do it... but don't you have to clear up after dinner? Let's do it once you're done.
She said: (A nasty glare followed by footsteps into the kitchen and noisy stowing away of pots and pans)

Act 1 Scene 2
She said: (Rather terse and businesslike) So shall we get down to making the list?
He said: (With zombie eyes from continuous TV watching and no blinking) Hmm? Ya, sure. Why don't you get a paper and pen?
She said: (With fire in her eyes) Can't you even get up to get those?
He said: (Still looking at the TV) I'll mail you my list from office tomorrow. Anyway, your list will be longer...
She goes to the room and softly bangs the door behind her (or the li'l one will wake).
THE END
