Mariela : Wow, it looks like you are working on a big project. What are these pages and pages notes for?
Will : I'm preparing for my date with Christine . I want everything to be well-planned and to go without hitch.
Mariela: Okay, But i still don't understand why you're making such detailed plans.
Will : I want to be ready for every contingency. For instance , I planned a picnic , But if it rains. I'll take her to lanuch at the Garden cafe instead.
Mariela: Don't you think you are taking the spontaneity out of you date? Why don't you play it by ear ? I know you don't like to fly by the seat of your pants , but maybe she'll have some ideas about what she'd like to do.
Will : Oh , I've taken her preferences into account . If she wants to do something active , we can go bowling or take a long walk.If she prefers something more passive,we'll go to a movie.
Mariela : Well. it sounds like you've mapped out every possible alternative.Hey, what's this ?
Will : Give me that.
Mariela : I see. You've mapped out more than just your date. You mapped out the entire trajectory of you life together: Get married in two years, and have your first children two years after that.
Will : That is not meant for you .And plus ,it's just a tentative plan.
Mariela : You mean Christine will have some say in it?
Will : I may let her pick our children's names. Now get out of here, will ya?
