PAUL You're kidding right?
KAREN What Paul?
PAUL You aren't wearing that.
KAREN What do you mean I'm not wearing this?
PAUL You're joking right? You can't wear a red sweater today, it's too Christmasy, it's embarrassing.
KAREN No it's not, you are wearing a Christmasy sweater too. It's Christmas.
PAUL It's not Christmasy. It's green. It's you wearing that next to me that makes mine Christmasy. Take it off.
KAREN No, I'm not taking it off. I'm comfortable.
PAUL Karen, I am not introducing you to my father looking like the f#&king Osmond Christmas special, go change.
KAREN You go change.
PAUL Excuse me?
KAREN If it bothers you so much you change.
PAUL You saw me wearing this, I have been wearing it all morning.
KAREN So?
PAUL So get back in there and change.
KAREN I just spent thirty minutes in there looking for something that your father wouldn't find whorish, your words, and this is what I chose.
PAUL You're trying to screw this up. Please change.
