Hanneman, Manuela enter the scene

You keep doing things that aren't called for! It's driving me batty!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

You presuppose I am only thinking of you!

Manuela
volume_up

Let's just not do this, shall we? I don't know why we always end up fighting.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

It can hardly be helped. You and I seem opposed to one another on a, let's call it, an instinctual level.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Perhaps this could even be considered a form of fate.
link
Manuela
volume_up

What an awkward fate to have.

Manuela

I'd like you a lot more if I just hated you. All this fighting and making up is just...exhausting.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Agreed, yes. It does feel as if we have fallen into a rather tiresome bit of repetition.
link
Manuela
volume_up

What a waste of effort. We're absolutely hopeless, the both of us...
link
Manuela
volume_up

Hmm... Here's a thought.
link
Manuela

Couples who are similar to one another, share the same views and all that, they're pretty successful.
link
Manuela
volume_up

But complete opposites work together too. Surprisingly well, sometimes.
link
Manuela
volume_up

They compensate for each other's weaknesses, and they support one another...
link
Manuela

Then I look at how hard we work just to avoid screaming at each other, and I don't buy it.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Hmm. Don't be so hasty to dismiss your own hypothesis! For instance...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I am apt at cleaning, but have no talent for cookery. Whilst you loathe cleaning, but are a splendid chef.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Would it not be an easier life if, rather than struggle through our weaker areas, we divided the work?
link
Manuela
volume_up

Huh. I suppose our differences do have their advantages that way.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Indeed. If we combine our abilities, housework would be conquered and dinner rendered delicious.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

There are other ways we could find to support one another, I would imagine.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

We might make a better pair than you think. You and I, together.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Huh. You might be on to something.
link
Manuela
volume_up

You and I could be pretty good together... Wait! Why are we talking about this?!
link
Manuela
volume_up

Are you trying to propose marriage? With promises of clean floors?!
link
Manuela
volume_up

You think I'm that easy of a catch?! Honestly!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I— I did no such thing! You were the one who started discussion on the topic in the first place!
