W: I’m sorry. I worry about you.

M: Okay, I get your point. (2)___________________________________________.
W: You need some help. Why don’t you go to a doctor?

M: Really, I believe I can’t quit on my own.But I’ll think about it. I will.
W: All right. I won’t mention it for a week.(3)_______________________________________________.
M: You mean you’d break our engagement over this?I can’t believe it!
W: I don’t know. I love you,but I’m not sure I could accept everything that goes along with the smoking.
