[Admiral]

Loriot
Clothes (1981)

She sits in the bedroom and put her (haircoiler?) away.
He stands in the next room and is putting on his smoking-tie.

She: What do you think about my dress?
He: Which...
She: ...the one I'm wearing now...
He: Very cute...
She: ...or do you like the green one more...
He: The green one?
She: The halflong one with the wide neck line...
He: No...
She: What... no?
He: I don't think that's more beautiful than the one you are wearing now...
She: You said it fitted to me well...
He: Yeah it fits to you well...
She: Then why don't you think it's more beautiful?
He: I find the one you are wearing very beautiful and the other one is nice, too...
She: Ah! So this doesn't fit as good to me as the other one?
He: No it fits to you too...
She: Then I wear the long blue one with the small skirt over it again...
He: Aha...
She: ...or don't you like it?
He: No I like it...
She: I think it's your favourite one...
He: Yesyes!
She: So actually you like this more than the one which I'm wearing now with the halflong green one with the wide neck line...
He: I think you look beautiful in the clothes you wear!
She: Now compliments don't help me at all!
He: Good... then wear the long blue one and the small skirt...
She: So you don't like the things I'm wearing now?
He: No I like it, but seemingly you don't like it...
She: I don't like it? It's the most beautiful cloth which I have!!!
He: Then keep it on!
She: Some moments ago you have said that I should wear the long blue one with the small shirt over it...
He: You can wear the long blue one with the small skirt or the green one with the wide neck line or this what you are wearing now...
She: Aaha! So finally it doesn't interest you at all what I'm wearing!
He: Then take the green one, the wonderful beautiful green one with the wide neck line...
She: First I should keep this one... then I should wear the blue one... and suddenly the green one?
He: Sweet, you can just...
She: (Interrupts) ... I can talk with you about atomic waste, about oil crisis, elections and pollution, but about nothing... important!!

yes, it is too short but this is also a particular type of short stories.. there are even two-words stories. the important thing is that they make you think about it.
my interpration is.. mmm.. i hope my final words would be different.. at least not so desperate

[fortminor]

so,what do you think your last words will be?

my last words: give me an ice-cream !

[feanor]

give me a cigarette and leave me alone..
