The Bickers: How do you like those 'maters.......
"OUCH! CRAP, that stings!"
"Stop screaming. Someone will see us."
"I keep stepping on these tomatoes and the juice is stinging my burn something awful. You told me you were going to pad it around the firecracker stuff."
"You are such a baby. I told you to wear better shoes. What IS it with you and those black pumps?"
"Ever notice our conversations always get down to you told me and I told you? Keep walking and let's talk about...I don't know... how great these tomatoes would look on that blue plate you almost bought."
"We could stuff one right in the screaming mouth of that silly statue your mother gave us. That would be a sight for sore eyes!"
"Okay, I'll pencil that in....next time we aren't being chased by the police through a tomato patch, we'll find things to do with fruit and props. Of course we would be brushing seeds out of things for weeks. "
"Did you bring the knife? We could stop for lunch... free lunch...."
"Oh, I have an idea about lunch, and it's not going to be tomatoes off the ground. I've got the key to it right here, on this awful key chain."
