IKEA – Dining Room

Script:
: “Oh, you know, we went to Ikea because we thought it was time for a serious dining room table.
Partner: “We have slightly different tastes. I mean, Steve's more into country. It frightens me but at the same time I have compassion.”
Steve: “We've been together for about three years.”
Partner: “I met Steve at my sister's wedding. I was really impressed at how well designed the Ikea furniture was.”
Steve: “He's really into craftsmanship.”
Partner: “The chairs are really sturdy.”
Steve: “This table included a leaf.”
Partner: “The leaf means staying together. Commitment.”
Steve: “We've got another leaf when we really start getting along.”
