(Dad and Mom walk to the cinema to see Ghost.)

Dad: Ghost will be on at 6:30. It's already 6:15 now. Hurry up.

(Mom feels a little angry.)

Mom: You'd been hanging around before left home. Well, now, you are urging me for the movie. This has been fun!

Dad: Don't be upset. I am just afraid of missing the movie. It is your favorite.

Mom: In short, you become more and more impatient with me after wedding.

Dad: Why do you think so?

Mom: Every time I complain about the domestic chores with you, you just don't listen.

Dad: Nothing of the sort!

Mom: Don't interrupt me! In addition, every time I need your advice, you just say, "it's up to you."

Dad: Maybe I was busy with my work at that time, so I felt a little bored.

Mom: You mean, I am not busy with my work?

Dad: Honey, don't get me wrong. (Don't misunderstand me.) I don't know how to explain. But I really have eyes only for you and our children.

Mom: Do you still love me?

Dad: Honey, maybe sometimes I seem careless, but I take great care to cooking breakfast every morning. That shows how much I love you.

(Mom drops into silence.)

Mom: Oh, honey, that's enough. Our love story is more touching than the Ghost.

Dad: Let's go to see the movie. It's time to begin.

（爸爸和妈妈一起走着去电影院看《人鬼情未了》。）

爸爸：《人鬼情未了》将在六点半开演。现在已经六点十五了，快点啊。

（妈妈感到有点生气。）

妈妈：你在家磨磨蹭蹭的。现在有为了赶电影一直催我。真有意思！

爸爸：别着急。我只是怕错过电影嘛。这可是你最喜欢的电影。

妈妈：简而言之，结婚后你对我越来越不耐烦了。

爸爸：你为什么这样认为？

妈妈：每次我对你抱怨家务事时，你总是不听。

爸爸：哪有这回事！

妈妈：别打断我！另外，每次我需要给些意见的时候，你只是说："你说了算。"

爸爸：可能是那个时候我忙于工作，感觉有些烦吧。

妈妈：你的意思是说，我工作不忙吗？

爸爸：亲爱的，不要误会我。我不知道该怎么解释。但是我真的非常在乎你和孩子们。

妈妈：那你还爱我吗？

爸爸：亲爱的，可能有时候我显得很粗心大意，但是每天早晨我都会很用心的做饭。这代表了我有多爱你。

（妈妈沉默了片刻。）

妈妈：哦，亲爱的，这足够了。我们的爱情故事比《人鬼情未了》还要动人。

爸爸：那我们就快去看电影吧。马上要开演了。
