Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:30 Explanations: 3:14 Fast dialogue: 13:57 Luis: So, how are the newlyweds doing? Stevie: Oh, we’re great. I’m just a little tired. Luis: Well, that goes with the territory, right? Stevie: No, that’s not what I mean. Patrick has been keeping me up with his snoring. Luis: Oh, that’s a bummer. Stevie: Yeah, it really is. I’m usually awakened soon after I fall asleep, and then I toss and turn all night. That’s not all. Patrick also talks in his sleep. Luis: Wow, that’s terrible. I’d make a beeline for some sleeping pills, if I were you. Stevie: I took some one night last week, but I woke up groggy and disoriented. I’d rather have insomnia than load up on drugs. Luis: Have you tried waking him up when he snores or talks in his sleep? Stevie: I tried that one night, but he just ended up sleepwalking! Luis: Geez, what are you going to do? Stevie: I wish I knew. Luis: It’s a little early in your marriage for separate bedrooms, but I wouldn’t rule it out. Stevie: I’ll keep it in mind. If I don’t get a good night’s sleep soon, separate bedrooms will be the least of our problems! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
