Men and Money!

She: Hey!
He: You are back?
She:Yes.
He: How'd it go?
She:Bad.
He: Yeah I can see it, pretty swollen.
She: I know(groan).
He: So all done?
She: No have an appointment next week.
He: How long is this going to go on?
She: What do you mean?
He: I mean is there an end to it?
She: End to dental cleanings? Give me a break.
He: No I meant...
She: I know what you meant.
He: What?
She: If you don't believe in getting something done, does not mean the whole world should follow your way.
He: I never said that.
She: Well you do have the knack of not saying anything and conveying a lot!
He: oh come on!
She: When was the last time you had a cleaning done?
He: You know me I believe in not disturbing things just because dentists want to earn more money.
She: You mean to say I brought this upon myself?
He: I never said that.
She: There is a lot you don't say. Maybe you should start saying something. Anyways I have to say something.
He: What?
She: I need some special treatment which the insurance does not cover.
He: Ulp!
She: What?
He: oh nothing! Go on.
She: So anyways the bill it going to be between 600-750 bucks.
He: Double ulp!
She: Sheesh
He: Is it absolutely neccessary?
She: Well the dentist thinks so.
He: Maybe you should get a second opinion?
She: I trust my dentist. I have been going to him for a while now.
He: The precise reason why I don't trust him. Fella has made thousands on us for sure.
She: What do you mean?
He: Nothing.
She: Yeah its nothing all over again. Why is it that when it comes to spending a few bucks on your wives, you men go crazy out of your minds.
He: When did I do that?
She: Like yesterday when I said I might need a new car and now today on my dentist bill!
He: I did not!
She: Well to me it seems like you did.
He: What are you saying?
She: I know what you are saying.
He: I didn't say anything.
She: Still I know what you are trying to say.
He: Well I can't help it if you conjure things up.
She: Bah!

(Next morning)
She: What are you doing?
He: Balancing the checkbook.
She: oh!
He: How much did you say the extra dentist bill would be?
She: uff!
He: What?

(A few mornings later)
He: So when is the appointment.
She: What appointment?
He: You know the one with the dentist which the insurance does not cover?
She: Do you have to drive that point across every day?
He: What point?
She: Sheesh!

(Still few mornings later)
He: Is the credit card bill in?
She: Yes, surprisingly low this time?
He: Really?
She: Yep. Nice.
He: Looks like the extra dentist charge that the insurance does not cover did not go through yet!
She: !

(A month later)
She: Bye.
He: Where are you off to?
She: Its my dentist appointment today.
He: Oh! Is it the same one where you need to get some stuff done which the insurance does not cover?
She: YES!
He: How much is it?
She: How much is what?
He: The amount...the insurance...
She: does not cover?
He: Yes!
She: Go to hell!
He: What did I say??!


(Later that evening)
He: Done?
She:
He: How do you feel?
She:
He: So how much did the bill end up to be?
She:
He: 1000 bucks you said, didn't you?
She:
He: You should have told the dentist he should apply to insurance and see what happens.
She:
He: For all you know they might just cover it.
she:
He: You are not talking. Looks like the procedure was tough. Well I hope it was worth it, since the insurance is not covering it.
She: GET OUT!
He: oh you can speak!! So maybe the procedure wasn't that tough eh?
She:
He: Definitely not worth the amount that the insurance did not cover for sure.
She: aargh!

    But the one that is both is dental."

    If only Odgen Nash had access to He She dialogues... the melodrama could have added more spice to that poem!
