    Here you go. One extremely crucial line contributed by Jennifer. :)

    "Hello, Anne," he said.

    "Oh, hello, Frederick," she said.

    "It's been a while."

    "Oh yeah."

    "So - what do you wanna do?"

    "I dunno. How 'bout we just watch tv?"

    "ok, what do ya wanna watch?"

    "I don't know. You say it"

    "maybe we could watch cartoons.."

    "I'd prefer the Bold and the Beautiful"

    "As you wish, my love"

    "but, on the other hand the cartoons are nice too.."

    "Hey, I didn't come back after all these years just to listen to you change your mind every five minutes. We're watching the Bold and the Beautiful and that's it."

    "are you sure? Maybe we could ask someone else's opinion. I'm sure my father would..."

    *Wentworth takes his sword*

    "Any more mention of that creature and I'm leaving."

    "as you say, my dear, but maybe we could ask lady Russell instead"

    *Wentworth flips*

    "Oh, sorry, dear. Didn't mean to upset you. Um - how about we just watch Melrose Place instead?"

    "oh, that's a good idea, I was just about to suggest it"

    And so they lived happily forever after.

    The End
