Alvaro:Chill out. It was a joke!
Vera:It wasn’t funny and it crossed the line.
Alvaro:Why are you freaking out? Get over it. I was just joking.
Vera:You really hurt my feelings.
Alvaro:For God’s sake, I didn’t mean it. I take it back, okay?
Vera:You do?
Alvaro:Yes, I do.
Vera:And you’re sorry? You really regret what you said?
Alvaro:I’m sorry you heard my joke.
Vera:That’s not a real apology. You owe me a real apology. What you said was cruel.
Alvaro:I made a joke about you being over the hill. You’re clearly not over the hill, so it was clearly a joke. Okay?
Vera:Do you really think I’m old?
Alvaro:No, I don’t. But you know what you’re doing to me right now? You’re taking years off my life!
