Alright so I loved this! I was cracking up throughout the entire thing. Personally I think the bell is kinda like a do-over button. Each character uses it multiple times when the conversation has reached an akward point and can go no further. The bell saves the conversation but at the same time changes the character. During the middle of the Diolouge Bill is constantly questioning the answers he is giving Betty and they build a relationship off of false answers. It makes you wonder if their relationship lasted. They only give answers that please one another.... Bill lies about where he went to school and how much of Faulkner he has read.... where do the lies end and where does truth begin? sure Thing is funny, but the reality of it is slighty disturbing. How many times do we go about questioning everything we say to people? We change what we say all the time depending on our company. Sure thing. Where is the truth in what we say?
And do you thing that this play had a happy ending? Or are these people dooming themselves to a realtionship built on false facts that will only end in heart ache?

SO true!! I think they are dooming themselves because in a real relationship, there is no do-over button. The conversation is done in so many different angles that by the end, we forget how it even began. The characters no longer seem like real people and they lose their credibility in the roles they are playing. you make a really interesting point when you say that "we change what we say all the time depending on our company" the play illustrates this fact very well.
I really liked this play, I thought it was funny too. I wondered about the ending as well. I could not tell if they were being real or sarcastic. If i had to guess, I would say that their relationship would not last. Especially without the bell.
