A: Do you know how late it is?
B: My fault. I didn't realize what time it was.
A: I hope you don't think that excuse lets you off the hook.
B: Not really. I'm telling the truth.
A: Haven't I asked you to call if you're going to be home late?
B: This is true, but it must've slipped my mind.
A: Regardless, all you had to do was give a call.
B: I know. I should've called.
A: Come home late one more time, and you'll find your stuff outside.
B: You want to throw me out over this?
A: That's right, maybe then you'll respect my rules.
B: That's fine, because if I leave, then your rules won't matter.
