A: Honey, I’ll be right back!
B: Where are you going?
A:I told you already! I’m going to get my nails done.
B: Again? You just went last week! You spend more time at the nail salon than you do here at home! Honestly, why do you need a manicure every week?

B: Why? I don’t want to have nail polish or anything like that!

B: Yeah, sounds like something I should definitely do.
