-OMG you r fat. I'm sorry.

-I'm not!

-yes you r. You're far fatter than you used to be.

- And you r far crueler than you used to be.

- I'm sorry. I didn't meant it. I didn't mean it in a bad way! it was an observation.

-If it was a woman, we wouldn't be having sex right now.

- How much have you put on? Like 15 pounds? You see? You are not exactly obese. I wouldn't even call you portly.

-Ah, thank you.

-I am sorry come here. It's just something...look it's just different.i didn't expect it. You used to be so thin. I mean you were insubstantial, really.

- God, the complements keep coming.

-Yaaa but now you know what, look at it this way. There's a grandness to you. Like the rings in a tree trunk, asserting the past of the time. Like I've learn the right to fill up more space in one universe .

-That's bullshit.

(LAUGHTERS)

- I've tried.

This part makes me happy. Your flesh is like a legal right earned for yourself, a legal right to occupy more space in the universe. One side should be sincerely trying to make up for the unintentional fault, and the other side should know that this is nonsense, and also know that this sincerity is in it. This is a conversation between two middle-aged people, and it should be like this, restraint, don't work hard, and no longer pursue perfection. While accepting the other party's jokes about their obesity, they can also catch the steps that the other party stretches out.
