Lila:  Why aren’t you dating?  I have so many friends who would love to go out with you.


George:  Let’s change the subject.  Talking about my love life isn’t very interesting.


Lila:  But really, you’re not getting any younger and…


George:  Moving on!  Have you seen any good movies lately?


Lila:  Listen, all of your friends are settling down and you don’t want to go through life alone and lonely…


George:  That reminds me, didn’t you say that you were going to get another dog so that Rover isn’t lonely when you’re not home?


Lila:  Forget about my dog.  You remember Rachel, don’t you?  She just broke up with her boyfriend and she’d be perfect for you.


George:  Speaking of Rachel, how is her mother?  Wasn’t she in the hospital?


Lila:  If Rachel isn’t your type, how about Amina?  She has great legs and I know you’re a leg man.


George:  And now for something completely different…How is your diet coming along?  Have you lost any weight yet?


Lila:  I don’t really want to talk about my weight.  


George:  But I think you’re having trouble shedding those pounds, right?  I have lots of suggestions on what you can do.


Lila:  Anyway, as I said before, I don’t really want to talk about my diet…


George:  You need to cut out sweets if you want to lose weight. Are you eating too many sweets?  


Lila:  That’s none of your business!


George:  My sentiments exactly!
