— Roma, do you like this Laufen sink?
— No, Nastya. I prefer that one, Bella Vista.
— But why do we always do what you say?
“Sweetheart, I’m not saying anything. You asked what I like, and I told you. That’s all. I’m not insisting on anything. This is your nest, and if you prefer Laufen, go for it!”
— But you don’t like her!
— No, of course you like it. Everything is fine, Laufen is the best choice! Go ahead and order it.
— Why do you always act like this? I’m asking you a serious question, and you keep dodging the answer. Tell me again, do you like this Laufen sink?
— Is it just about personal preferences?
— Yes…
— And we’ll do it your way, so it won’t be “always my way”?
— Yes…
— Then why ask me?
— I’m interested in your opinion.
— Okay, I think Bella Vista is better.
— Why are you so cruel?
— Okay, Nastya. Go with Laufen. I actually like it.
— I know you! You don’t really like him, and if you don’t like him, something will happen to him. He’ll get hurt or break. I know you!
— Nastya, I’m telling you for sure — Laufen is the sink of my dreams.
— Well, don’t laugh at me!
— Why am I laughing? I’m completely serious. Of everything in this store, Laufen is the best.
— You don’t love me!
— (Calls the seller) Young man!
— Yes, yes?
— Could you please tell me what the difference is between Laufen and Bella Vista? (and adds in a whisper: Explain to my wife why Laufen is better)
The seller is pushing a sale.
— See, Nastya, I was right — Laufen is the best choice we could have made here! Just like you wanted! Write it down and let’s go.
— It all turned out your way again! Why am I deprived of the right to choose!
