"But you told me it was okay to call up Carol," said Gary. "I asked you if it was okay to talk to her, because it was her birthday and I've wished her a happy birthday every year for the last 10 years."
"But you had already promised me that you would never call her again. You promised me that. So, you lied to me."
"But I had forgotten that I told you that. You know that I forget things. I'm not going to argue with you; you have a memory like an elephant. But you've got to believe me, I completely forgot. And more important, Carol is just a friend."
"No, she isn't. She's still in love with you."
"But I'm not in love with her. She can love me all she wants, but I'm not in love with her. I never was!"
"Well, you say that. Maybe it's true. Maybe it isn't. But the important thing is that you never know what the future will bring. You say that nothing will happen between you and her, but you don't know that for sure, because you don't know the future."
"Yes, you're right. No one knows the future. I could fall in love with her again, and she and I might run off and get married and have nine or ten kids."

"Nhưng em đã nói với anh là em đồng ý để anh gọi điện cho Carol," Gary nói. "Anh đã hỏi em có đồng ý cho anh gọi điện cho cô ta không, vì hôm đó là sinh nhật của cô ta và anh đã chúc mừng sinh nhật cô ta 10 năm rồi."
"Nhưng anh đã hứa với em là anh sẽ không gọi cho cô ta nữa. Anh đã hứa với em như vậy. Vậy là anh đã lừa dối em."
"Nhưng anh quên là anh đã hứa với em điều đó. Em biết anh mau quên mà. Anh không tranh cãi với em; em có một trí nhớ vĩ đại. Nhưng em phải tin anh, anh hoàn toàn quên mà. Và điều quan trọng nữa, Carol chỉ là bạn."
"Không, cô ta không nghĩ như vậy. Cô ta vẫn còn yêu anh."
"Nhưng anh không yêu cô ta. Cô ta có thể yêu anh nếu cô ta muốn, nhưng anh không yêu cô ta. Không bao giờ!"
"Được, anh nói vậy. Có thể anh nói thật. Cũng có thể là không. Nhưng điều quan trọng là anh không bao giờ biết những gì sẽ đến trong tương lai. Anh nói sẽ không có chuyện gì xảy ra giữa anh và cô ta, nhưng anh không dám bảo đảm vì anh không biết về tương lai."
"Vâng, em nói đúng. Không ai biết về tương lai. Có thể anh lại yêu cô ta lần nữa, anh và cô ta có thể sẽ chạy trốn để cưới nhau và có 9 hoặc 10 đứa con."

"Nhưng anh đã hứa với tơi rằng anh sẽ không bao giờ gọi cô ấy nữa. Anh hứa với tôi như thế. Vậy, anh đã lừa tôi."
"Nhưng tôi đã quên rằng tôi đã nói với cô như vậy. Cô biết rằng tôi quên đồ.Tôi sẽ không tranh cãi với cô; cô có 1 trí nhớ như con voi. Nhưng cô cần phải tin tôi, tôi đã hoàn toàn quên. Và quan trọng hôn nữa, Carol chỉ là 1 người bạn."
"Không, không phải. Cô ấy vẫn yêu anh."
"Nhưng tôi không yêu cô ấy. Cô ấy có thể yêu tôi tất cả những gì cô ta muốn, nhưng tôi không yêu cô ấy. Tôi chưa từng!"
"Đúng, anh nói thế. Có thể nó đúng. Có thể không phải. Nhưng điều quan trọng là anh không bao giớ biết tương lai đem đến những gì. Anh nói giữa anh và cô ta không có gì, nhưng anh không chắc về điều ấy, vì anh không biết tương lai."
" Phải, cô đúng. Không ai biết về tương lai. Tôi có thể yêu cô ấy lần nữa, và tôi và cô ấy có thể tiến tới và cưới nhau và có 9 hay 10 đứa con."
