"Baby, you can't be serious."
"I can and I am!"
"Baby, you know it was an accident."
"It was an accident the first time you did it too. I told you what was going to happen."
"I know, but you never seemed to care before."
"I cared the very first time you did it. I told you I didn't like it, but you ignored me."
"Baby but that was 15 years ago?"
"I know, but I remember it. I told you then I didn't like it and I have told you repeatedly I didn't like it. I also told you what was going to happen the next time you said it."
"But I've done it before."
"And each time you managed to weasel out of it with some lame excuse. I was drunk, I was tired, I didn't think, I was this and I was that. I am so sick of your excuses."
"But baby ..."
"Don't 'but baby' me. I warned you repeatedly over the years. I tried to ignore it; I tried to get you to stop in gentle ways. But when we decided to have kids I told you that I was at wits end with it."
"I know baby, but ..."
"And I let you get away with it too often. There were more excuses. The kids don't understand, the kids are too young, I didn't see them standing there, more damn excuses."
"It's not my fault baby."
"So someone has their hand up your ass making you do it?"
"It's not really any big deal; there are worse things than that on TV."
"So now it's my fault because I had a TV when we got together? What, do you think you are the victim here? Let me tell you something buster your son did it! He did it over at Jane's house, right in front of her. She just about expired on the spot."
"Well, honey, Jane needs to loosen up a little."
"You are laughing? You SOB, you are in a lousy position to be laughing. Jane is my best friend, and she put up with you doing it all these years. But when your 9 year old son does it, Oh My God, and you think it's funny!"
"Baby, he probably heard about it at school!"
"Maybe, but according to Jane's little boy your son has been doing it at school too. I am just waiting for a call from the principal on this one."
"He wouldn't call, not about this."
"He's called for everything. He called about the fighting, he called about the smoking, and he called about cutting school. All things you like to talk about in front of the kids. I know where he gets his ideas of things to pull. I am damned sure the principal will call about this.
"You have to stop it and nothing I've done seems to have gotten your attention. I told you I wasn't making an idle threat, but you didn't take me seriously."
"Baby, I always take you very seriously."
"Bullshit. You are going to remember this for the rest of your life. I'm going to make sure of it."
"Baby, I promise never to do it again."
"You promised last time, and you promised many times before that. You promised me, you promised your mother, you even promised my mother that time you did it in front of her. I thought she was going to faint."
"Well your mother ..."
"You say one word against my mother and I might invite her over to watch this."
He struggled against the straps, but they held him firmly. "You can't be serious."
