  Daphne: and ...
  Hal: and I'd like to know what you would like to get this year
  Daphne: surely not the Chinese crap you gave me last year
  Hal: thought it was funny
  Daphne: ridiculous rather. give me three days to think ok?
  Hal: OK, otherwise I'll have to come up with sth and u know I'm not that good at it
  Daphne: you bet
target: Hal wants to know which present Daphne would like for Xmas, as last year she didn't appreciate Hal's gift.
