DANIEL: "Dad, can we get a dog?"
DAD: "Daniel, are we talking about this again?"
DANIEL: "You promised we could get one when I got older."
DAD: "Having a dog is a big responsibility."
DANIEL: "I know. I promise to help take care of it."
DAD: "You have to walk him, feed him, bathe him, clean his messes, and play with him."
DANIEL: "I promise to do all of those things."
DAD: "I need to talk to your mom first."
DANIEL: "But mom doesn't want a dog. She doesn't like them."
DAD: "It's because she is afraid of them."
