Three Word Dialogues
Put your dialogue here, but add a bit of narration to it to make it more interesting (description of characters' actions, a bit of setting and so on) However, remember that the dialogue is still limited to only three words!
Setting: Two lawyers were best friend. They practiced law but did not followed the rules of law firm. One day, they had a chat at the balcony with a cigar on one hand and a glass of scotch on the other hand, talking about a female lawyer they both had crush on. ---based on the episode of Boston Legal
A gift giving interaction between two people. Merry Christmas.
“There you go” he said. “For me?” she said with eyes of wonderment. “Yup” “Why thank you.” “You’re welcome.” “You shouldn’t have” “No troubles” he said “I like it” she said, inspecting the gift. “Really?” “Yes I do.” “I’m glad” he said smiling widely.
“Well, here.” “What’s this?” he said, with surprise. “A little something.” “You shouldn’t have.” “I know” she said sarcastically. “This is great” he said as he opened the gift. “You like it?” “Ah, yeah sure” he said with a disappointed look. “um really?” she said, noticing his apathetic voice. “Well, it’s ok.” “What?!” “I have one.” “Really?” “Yeah” “Oh, I’m sorry” “That’s ok” “Something else?” she said wondering if he wanted it returned. “no no” he said. “You want it?” “Yes thanks.” “For what?” “My cousin” “Oh, really.” “He’ll use it.”
Former adult teacher who loves island beaches. Happy homebody and family man; once devoted dog owner, now without Tashi, my Tibetan Terrier. I prefer the absurdity of the imagination to the absurdity of imagining nothing.

Yes?
Are we friends?
So?
Can I?
No!
Oh, come on.

Isn’t she free?.
So what!
You can’t just---
Yes, I can.
But, why?
She’s mine.
You-are-mean.
Sorry for that.
One date, please!
Not a chance.
Are you crazy?
Yeah, Mad Cow.
Fine, I quit.
Thank you, Allen.
Allen.
What?
Hug?
Whatever.
"Oh my God!" he said.
"You went where?" she asked
"To the bar." With that, he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Why there?" She peered at him suspiciously.
"I felt depressed."
"So you drink?" Her nose wrinkled ever so slightly as if she'd smelled something rotten in the air.
"Only a little"
"You always say . . ."
"Don't interrupt!" He shook his head in disgust.
"I did not!"
"You always do."
"No fair!" This time, she hit him lightly on his chest, more playful than not but a warning nevertheless.
"Ok, sometimes."
"Always!"
"Can we stop?"
"Stop what?"
"Arguing."
"Okay my love." He turned his face towards hers and puckered up.
"Kiss me quick."
"Mmmm. Nice!"

“You like it?”
“Ah, yeah sure” he said with a disappointed look.
“um really?” she said, noticing his apathetic voice.
“Well, it’s ok.”
“What?!”
“I have one.”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
“Oh, I’m sorry”
“That’s ok”
“Something else?” she said wondering if he wanted it returned.

Ken received a present by UPS from his grandpa when he was having a play date with his best buddy, Matt.
"What's that?" Matt asked.
"Don't know." Ken was unwrapping it.
"Wow! Wii!" Matt's eyes wide opened.
"Red, cool!"
"Lucky!"
"Let's play!"
"Sure!" Matt smiled and nodded his head repeatedly like a dancing spring.
"Only one controller..."
"Set characters first."
"Okey-dokey."
"You first."
"Okay, I'm done."
"Hey, that's me."
"Unlike you?"
"Too fat."
"How about..." Ken was changing the hair.
"Who's it?"
"shu..." Ken whispered to Matt.
"Ha,ha,ha!" Matt burst into laugh.
"What's up?" Ken's sister just got home.
"Nothing!" Ken and Matt shut off the power swiftly.
