-Honey...
-Hmm?
- If I die, would you re-marry?
(beat)
-Of course not.
-Why? Aren't you happy with married life?
-Sure I am, baby!
-Well?
-But you're dead!
-True... but wouldn't you want somebody to help you raise your children?
(beat)
-Ok, I would remarry.
(long beat)
-Are you serious?
-Yup. About five months after you're gone, if I'm lucky?
-WHAT?!
-Oh yeah.
-And you'd bring her here?!
-Yup.
-And you'd let her sleep in our bed?
-Of course! She's married to me, isn't she?
-And you'd let her play with my golf clubs?
-No, that's not possible.
-How come?
-She's left-handed and hates golf.
(dead silence)
-Oh shit...
