- I thought about you a lot, but I haven't missed you.

- Is that all you have to say?

- ...

- Is it?

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry. Come on, try it again.

- Please, can't we just say goodbye?

- No, say it. "I thought about you..." Say it.

- Don't do this.

- Can't you see what's missing?

- I'm truly sorry. I said it now. Bye.

- Oh, adverbs won't do it.

- Please, just go.

- You owe it to me. We can make this work, say it after me: "I thought about you a lot".

- Leave me alooone.

- You don't get it, do you? You never get it. It lacks...

- Go awaaaaaay.

-  Well, you lack it.

- Please...

- Say it: "I thought about you..."

- "but I haven't missed you", bastard.

- No, you're missing the point. It feels unbalanced.

- "Unbalanced" describes you well. 

- How about "I thought about you a lot...", long pause... pausing is important...  and then you resume, a bit faster...  "but I haven't missed you at all"? Style is important, bitch.

* Sendo inventado, este diálogo é duplamente verídico. A versão de "I thought about you a lot, but I haven't miss you" foi-me contada por um amigo, que a ouviu do homem abandonado por uma mulher após uns tempos de separação transatlântica. A versão melhorada "I thought about you a lot, but I haven't miss you at all" é da lavra desse meu amigo, que tem o hábito de ir apurando ao longo do tempo as histórias que costuma contar.
