Did I Just Say That?

TAYLOR:  You look a bit upset, Merci.  Is everything okay?

MERCI:  Okay?  No, it's not okay.  That big, snoring tub of lard pushed me out of bed yesterday.

TAYLOR:  But I thought you two finally resolved your differences.

MERCI:  He snored like a steam engine with a cold but he did finally quiet down and I fell asleep.  I was dreaming about my younger days when I chased balls and had fun.  Next thing I knew his butt shoved me over the side of the bed onto the carpet.

MARCUS:  What?  I was dreaming you and I were walking Jan and a coyote jumped out from behind a bush.  I shoved you away with my butt to save you. 

MERCI:  A likely story.  If a coyote jumped out from behind a bush, you'd run for your life.  You shoved me out of bed on purpose so you could stretch out and have the bed to yourself.

MARCUS:  I saved your life and this is how you repay me?  I was a hero!

MERCI:  You were a bed hog!

MARCUS:  Will you forgive me if I let you have Sam's bed all to yourself today?

MERCI:  I'll forgive you when you tell the truth.  Maybe!

MARCUS:  Okay.  I didn't butt you out of bed to save you in my dream.  We both turned to run and I tripped over Jan's foot and knocked you into the coyote.

TAYLOR:  You ran away and left Merci to be killed?

MARCUS:  No, no.  You know how Jan carries that big water pistol to chase off territorial dogs since I kept getting attacked?  She squirted the coyote in the eye and it ran away.

MERCI:  So Jan saved me?  And you tried to take the credit?

MARCUS:  Well, I certainly don't want to admit I butted you out of bed on purpose!  Uh ... did I just say that?

MERCI:  Yes, you did.  I've heard enough!

MARCUS:  Wait, don't leave the room.  You said you'd forgive me when I told the truth. Can I take your silence for a yes?
