A. Never mind, I’ll go make some coffee. (stands)

B. No, I said I’d make it. Just let me finish this race.

A. (sits down in a huff) And how long will that be?

A. You already said it would be just a minute 5 minutes ago!

B. Fine. I’m done, see? I’ll go make some coffee.

A. Thank you! (sits back and stares at the video game on the screen.)

B. (from the kitchen) Why do I have to make the coffee, anyway? If you wanted it that bad, you could have made it.

A. Thank you.
