N: Does it go well with my skin tone?

H: I think it would go very well with your skin tone and it looks a bit more dramatic than your “Mrs. Always Right”. It’s more decisive.

N: Then yes, I’d like that.

H: Because today I have to go there again and the good thing is, and this is why I asked you this question – that I can now go to the store because I need to buy something for the baby and I can also buy something for you which you enjoy afterwards, so it doesn’t feel like a complete waste of time if I go again.

N: Yes, because you can justify your compulsive buying.

H: You are slightly right, I'm afraid I have a mild shopping addiction. Because I enjoy. I really enjoy having good things. But the cool thing is, that my things last for years, I only buy good quality…

N: You are speaking to the audience again, we know all that, so now because you have all those long lasting things you start buying things for me.

H: Which is a good thing because you don’t like shopping.

N: I don’t mind the act of clicking a link and paying, I just dislike the search and research. You sort of just bought me 2 pairs of shoes, you sent the link and I clicked and paid. I have a question too now that you speak of buying nail polish for me. Do we give each other a Christmas present? Because if so, I have to click another link now. You know I have a bit of a special situation in my private life at the moment, so I have not been able to do anything so far.

H: You don’t have to buy anything, I’ll get a Christmas present for the both of us.

N: Yes, okay, but you know I don't want to have the situation where we come into your living room. And the dog knocks over the Christmas tree and then you give us presents and we don’t have any. I am not prepared for any further emotional upheaval at the moment.

H: Let me talk!

N: But you talk all the time, we need this chess clock.

H: But you ask all those questions and instead of letting me answer this very easily you continue asking more questions!

N: Yes, this is because it’s a conversation.

H: But if you have serious questions, you must give me a chance to answer them, and it's a… wait, WAIT! Don’t speak again!

N: I think this transcript could have been an email.

H: I’ll get something nice just for the two of us.

N: Now this sounds sexual.

H: No, I meant only the two of us get presents, the men and the kid don’t. Anyway we never give each other Christmas presents.

N: You did last time.

H: But it was only very small.

N: Ok and it was something someone else had given you, someone told me later.

H: I’ll take care of the presents and you bring a bottle of Champagne.

N: I have that here already.

H: And if it’s in your office so it’s the good stuff.

N: It is, but this was one of the pains I suffered in the last couple of weeks, I wanted to buy like a truckload of champagne and I couldn’t get Veuve Clicquot! I had to buy Moet!

H: I have Veuve here!

N: Semi-sec?

H: Yes!

N: So we can do a champagne tasting!

H: That’s pretty cool and we’ll have it all for ourselves because I bought so much beer for our husbands. And I think that’s a very appropriate end of the year for us. For you because it was such a shitty year for you and for me because it was such a successful year for me, and in both cases you have to drink something really good by the end of it.

N: That’s right. Okay, so what about your baby?

H: It’s not my baby. The situation is, I have this husband

N: Oh, my God!

H: I’m just kidding.

N: No, you’re not, I saw him just a minute ago!

H: Oh, yeah, that’s true, I do have him but this is not going into the direction that I am getting pregnant.

N: Oh my God!!! He has someone else??
