Brandy: I’m making a new dish. I think you’re really going to like it.
Steve: Oh, good. Bring it on.
Brandy: Well, I miscalculated the cooking time a little and it’s going to take longer than I originally planned. I know you’re famished. Here’s a snack for you to munch on while you wait.
Steve: I’m half-starved. I skipped lunch and had to work late.
Brandy: I know, but I also know you’re dying for something really good. I promise that it’ll be worth the wait.
Steve: Okay, but I could eat a horse right now. Bring me something else to snack on.
Brandy: Don’t be too greedy and eat too much. I don’t want you to spoil your appetite. I know that what I’m cooking is something you’ve been craving for a long time, and you want to save your appetite for it.
Steve: All right. I’ll wait. How much longer will it be?
Brandy: Oh, maybe another hour or a little longer…
Steve: Another hour?! I’ll be dead and buried by then!
