Woman: Hey. Are you okay?

Man: Yeah. I just have a cold, I think.

 

Woman: No, no you don't. You've sounded like that for a while. You smoke, and you're dying from it.

 

, Man: What? Well, you know, I'm just . . .I'm just a casual smoker, and I can quit anytime I want.

 

Woman: No, you can't. You smoke two packs a day, and I DONT call that a casual smoker.

 

Man: Hey, it's my choice, so butt out. We've talked about this before, and I'm tired of you, mom, and dad nagging me about it all the time.

 

Woman: Okay, but what about your kids? Don't you worry about how your smoking is affecting them?

 

Man: It's not a problem. I smoke outside.

 

Woman: Yeah, but don't you worry they'll start smoking too?

 

Man: No. They won't. I know my kids. I trust them.

 

Woman: Yeah, yeah. Didn't you say that Jacob got caught smoking a week ago at school?

 

Man: Yeah, but it was the first time . . . He's under a lot of pressure these days.

 

Woman: Yea, right. The first time you know of. He's lying to you.

 

Man: I trust him.

 

Woman: Really. Well, what about these cigarettes? [ What? ] Right here! [ Oh! ] I found them in his clothes when he stayed over last night. Listen.

 

Man: They . . . They're probably not his!

 

Woman: There his. He's following your example. You can't expect him NOT to smoke when you smoke yourself.

 

Man: Hey. Don't tell me how to raise my kids. It's my job.

 

Woman: I won't have to. You're killing yourself, and someone else is going to be raising your kids for you.

 

Man: Well, what does that mean?

 

Woman: Figure it out. Listen. I ('ve) got to go now. If you want to talk more, I'll be at mom's house.

 

Man: Whatever.
