A sad story
I already know what you're going to say.

Take off your clothes.

What?

Just shut up, baby. Take off your clothes. And sing the song, “If I Only Had A Brain”, while you do it.

Oh, well, I didn't know you were going to say that. But, it was pretty good. It was better. Better than what I thought you were going to say... The Wizard of Oz?

Yes. Well, no. The Scarecrow.

I'm wrong again. I never know what you're going to say. I really don't. I never have.

I repeat: Take off your clothes and start singing--

“I want a divorce!” That was what you were going to say.

Okay. You do have a brain, baby.

It was wasn't it? That was what you were going to say?

You don't have to sing... Just take off your clothes.

I take my clothes off, that will make it all better?

You could add, “I'm sorry”.

I take off my clothes and say I'm sorry-- we're good? How 'bout this then... I'm sorry!

No. We are most definitely not good. I want a divorce.

I knew it!

I'm sorry, baby!

Take off your clothes!

It won't make any difference...

I know. Do it any way.

How 'bout this then?

Are you sorry?

Very.

Me too.

It won't do any good though.

I know.

Off to see the wizard.

The wonderfulwizardofoz.
