A dialogue between wife and husband about choosing a dress for a party

Wife: Oh dear which dress should I choose? I can't make up my mind. Do help me.

Husband: Nadia, you know I don't know anything about fashion.

Wife: But which dress d' you like best?

Husband: Well, they're both all right.

Wife: Only all right?

Husband: Oh, no. I'm- I'm sure you'll look very nice in both of them.

Wife: Khalid, that's no help to me at all. I can't wear both of them! I want a decision.

Husband: But after all it is your decision, not mine.

Wife: Oh dear. The blue cotton is very smart but I'm not sure it goes with the hat.

Husband: You're not wearing hat are you?

Wife: I was going to.

Husband: But surely no one wears a hat these days.

Wife: No, I- I suppose they don't. But surely in smart society.

Husband: I honestly don't know. D'' you think I should wear a suit?

Wife: I would have thought so.

Husband: But surely with this summer weather, a sports coat would be all right?

Wife: But the sports coat is such a loud check. I don't think it would do at Maria's.

Husband: No- perhaps not.

Wife: Oh, I feel in such a muddle.

Husband: So do I. Perhaps we should just wear what we want to. A lot of people do these days, or perhaps the answer is not to go at all.

Wife: You mean rather than make fools of our-selves. I do feel terribly tried.

Husband: But then again you did want to go.

Wife: Yes, I would regret missing it. Oh, I don't know. I wish you were a decisive husband, instead of floundering about.

Husband: Me floundering about... you're the one who's worrying. 'Shall I wear this?' 'Shall I wear that? It's you who's uncertain, not me.

Wife: That's why I need someone definite.

Husband: All right. I'll tell you what we'll do.

Wife: What?

Husband: We'll toss for it. Heads you wear the blue dress, tails you wear the green. Let money decide everything.
