Woman: Hey. What's this on Facebook? It says . . . Are you getting married?

Man: Yeah. Didn't you know that?

 

Woman: No. Why didn't you tell me about it? (It) says you're getting married next week.

 

Man: Yeah, and I'm bringing her over to mom's house tomorrow. You'll love Jasmine.

 

Woman: Jasmine?

 

Man: Yeah. Here's her picture on Facebook.

 

Woman: Oh. Wow.

 

Man: What? What do you mean?

 

Woman: Dad is not going to be impressed.

 

Man: Why?

 

Woman: She's got, like a lot her tattoos and a nose ring, and uh, I'm sorry. The family is going to be really surprised.

 

Man: Ah, she's so, well, so sensitive and caring.

 

Woman:Um, well . . . . [ What? ] Have . . . have you taken any marriage prep classes?

 

Man: Ah, who needs that anyway? I know all about women.

 

Woman: Yeah. Right, like . . . . What have you had? Like ten girlfriends in the last six months?

 

Man: Well, that's different!

 

Woman: Uh, listen. Obviously, you need to improve your communication skills, and the best thing at this point . . . . if you're really set on marrying Jamie . . .

 

Man: Jasmine . . .

 

Woman: Okay, I'm sorry, Jasmine, anyway, um, you really should take a marriage prep class.

 

Man: What? What you are talking about? I know all about love and romance.

 

Woman: Uh. Right . . . .

 

Man: What? What do you mean?

 

Woman: Look. Okay. It's more than that. What do you know about, say, personal finance? [ Well, you know . . . ] I mean, how are you going to manage your money together? Are you going to have a joint bank account? Whose salary is going to pay the bills?

 

Man: Ah, no problem. No problem. We have that figured out. My paycheck is going to be automatically transfered to her overseas bank account.

 

Woman: Oh. [ What? ] Uh, where exactly is this account? What's the name of the bank?

 

Man: Ah, I don't know. Jasmine's going to take care of that.

 

Woman: Oh, boy. Right. Um, well, what about children? Are you guys going to have any kids?

 

Man: Well, I want a large family, so eight kids would be just about right.

 

Woman: Wow! What does Jasmine say about that?

 

Man: Ah, well, she doesn't want any kids, but I'll change her mind once we get married. ( Right. ) No problem.

 

Woman: Okay, what about housework? How are you going to handle that?

 

Man: Well, Jasmine won't mind doing it. ( (Did) she said that? ) Well, not exactly. We've been just so busy planning out our honeymoon, that we just haven't worked out, you know, these small details.

 

Woman: Great! You know what? By the time you learn her last name, I think things are going to be over between the two of you.
