— Not my style.

— I don’t like rock.

— OK. There’s a play tonight at midnight at the Second Avenue Theatre. It’s called «Conversation with Food».

— Sounds great!

— At midnight? That’s way past my bedtime.

— No, thanks.

— OK. «Carmen» is playing at the City Opera. 8.00 p. m.

— Great! How much are the tickets? You’re kidding!

— Whoa.

— No way.

— Great! It’s a movie then! «A Time to Run» is playing at the Glenwood at 7.00 p. m.

— «A Time to Run?» Oh, don’t go to that. It’s just awful.

— OK. How about «You Only Live Once»? It’s playing at the Kendall, also at 7. 00 p. m.

— It’s terrible.

— «An Actor’s Life?»

— Please.

— «Anna Goes Home?»

— No.

— Perfect!

— Wonderful! Thank you.

— Yeah. Thanks a lot.

— But I am not a French film fan.

— Excuse me, I am looking for the Rose Cinema.

— The Rose Cinema. Let’s see. That’s on the corner of Market street  and Park street. Or is it Third and Grand? No, I think it’s on Market between First and Second Avenue. OK. So. Go around the corner, walk three blocks… No, five blocks to Harper street. Turn left. Sorry, right. Go another two blocks… No. Yes. Two blocks. To Fourth Avenue, take a right … Yes. Walk about five blocks to Market street. Go right again. Go straight two more blocks. The cinema is on your right. No. Sorry. Your left.

— Paul.

— What? You are looking for the Rose Cinema?

— Yes!

— Go across the street.

— I know  who your father is! Why are you showing me photos of your father?

— My family is coming in one hour. Now pay attention.

— Why do you have such a large family?

— It’s not that large.

— Not that large? You have six brothers and sisters, fourteen aunts and uncles — who knows how many cousins, nieces and nephews! I’d say that’s a large family.

— They are not all coming over.

— No, just eighteen of them.

— I am sorry, honey. I just want them to like you. Calm down.

— Mr. Evans needs them right now! The client is coming in five minutes!

— This printer is driving me crazy. It’s so slow.

— Try blowing on it.

— What? Really?

— Try it. Now tap the sides. Just try it. Now rub this side gently.

— Does this really work?

— Where are the tickets?

— They are printing, OK?

— Mr. Evans needs them now! The client is coming in four minutes!

— Easy there, Jackie Chan!

— We need a new printer. Aren’t we getting a new printer?

— You are buying a new printer, aren’t you?

— This is the new printer!

— This piece of junk is new?

— Well… It’s new… to us.

— This is an old printer?

— Just a little old.

— What kind is it?

— Is it a copyright? Mr. Evans says always buy a copyright.

— It’s a print-OK.

— A print-OK? What’s a print-OK?! Do you know that brand?

— It’s a good brand and very…inexpensive.

— We need the tickets now. Do something!

— Where are the tickets?

— They are printing, OK?

— The client is coming in one minute.

— The printer’s a little slow today.

— The client is here. Where are the tickets?

— Right here, sir.

— Thank you. There are only nine. Where’s the last one?

— Right here, sir.

— Thank you. What?

— The printer isn’t working.

— What?

*********************************************************

15.22 — 18.55 

— Are you ready to order?

— We are.

— Excuse me, I have a question.

— Yes.

— I am in the mood for lamb, but the sauce looks too fatty. Could I order the lamb without the sauce?

— Sure.

— What does it come with?

— French fries.

— I don’t like fried food. Could I have a  grilled vegetable instead?

— I think we have grilled peppers.

— Perfect.

— Would you like to start with an appetizer?

— Is there oil on the tomato salad?

— There’s a lot of olive oil, yes.

— Could I get it without the oil?

— Mmm-hmm

— But it won’t taste very good.

— Then I’ll just have a mixed green salad.

—  And you?

— I am sorry, I have another question. Is there salt on the lamb?

— It’s cooked with salt and pepper, yes.

—  I don’t want a lot of salt. I think I’ll have the fish instead. What’s in the sauce?

— Lemon, butter, milk…

— Oh, that’s too much dairy. Maybe I’ll have a large salad for my entree and no appetizer. What’s in the salad?

— Lettuce, carrots, peppers, onions, egg…

— No egg, please.

—  Salad. No egg. Anything to drink?

— Just water, please.

— And for you?

— I’ll have the special.

—  The spacial.

— The special.

— Great.

— Could I ask you another question?

— No!

— This is delicious!

— Amazing!

— Cheryl, don’t you want to try it?

— No, thanks. Too many calories. And we need to go.

— I’ll ask for the check.

— I love dessert!

— Do you know how many calories are in that cake?

— No. And don’t tell me.

— Or how much fat was in your steak and your fried shrimp? Or how much salt was on your french fries?

— Do you want us to  just eat raw vegetables?

— Vegetables are good. Or how about smaller portions? And no dessert?

— No dessert?!

— You need to take care of your body! Eat healthy food — have vegetables for snacks instead of potato chips and cookies.

— You are right. Tomrrow I’m eating  lots of vegetables.

— Really?

— For snacks. And I’m having potato chips, cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

— You are terrible.

— What are you doing?

— I’m trying to get the check. Finally! Do you want that?

**********************************************************************

18. 57 — 20.43

— What are you doing?

— I am exercising.

— Do you have some work to do?

— I am working! I am working and exercising.

— What work are you doing?

— About what?

— About ideas for Mrs. Beatty’s vacation.

— And what are you thinking?

— Beach vacation.

— I have to finish this. Can you go exercise somewhere else?

— No problem.

— What are you doing?

— I’m getting in shape.

— Why are you doing that here? Why don’t you go to a gym? Or the park?  Or outside? Or home?

— I don’t have time to go the gym.

— I can’t work when you do that. Can you go over there?

— No problem.

— Bob?

— Huh?

— What are you doing?

— I’m … working.

— Then why are you running?

— To get in shape. Running burns a lot of calories.

— Exercise later. Work now, please.

— Yes, sir.

*************************************************************************

20.45 — 22.45

— I am meeting a client at the cafe for lunch, Marie.

— OK.

— So, what do you do to stay in shape?

— I generally go running in the morning. I do aerobics two nights a week. I always play tennis or golf on the weekends. And I usually go bike riding every Sunday, if the weather is good.

— You don’t lift weights?

— No.

— You have to lift weights to really stay in shape.

— I don’t like to go to a gym.

— You don’t have to go to a gym to lift weights. You can lift weights anywhere. Like this. Or this. Or even this.

— Thanks for the suggestions.

— Hey, why don’t we go running together sometime?

— OK. Where do you run?

— To the park. And back.  Where do you run?

— To the park , and then to the market, the to symphony hall, then to Harper street, then to the library, then to the theater. And then back.  So, do you want to go running after work today?

— Gotta meet a friend for dinner.

— Some other time then.

— Yeah, sure.

— Hey, can you answer the phones for a while? I have to go to the post-office, and you’re the only one here.

— No problem.

*************************************************************************

22.47 — 25.15

— That is so cute.

— Thank you. I love that colour. Bob, what do you think of our new clothes — for the party tomorrow?

— There’s a party tomorrow?

— It’s Mr. Evans’ birthday. Remembr?

— Oh, roght. Am I going?

— Yes, you are.

— OK.

— So, tell us what you think of our new clothes.

— All those clothes are for one party?

— No. We have to decide what to wear. What do you think of these blouses?

— They are very flattering.

— Which one do you like more?

— What do you mean?

— Which one do you prefer?

— I like them both the same.

— No, you don’t.

— You are just saying that. You need to have an opinion. You have to choose!

— No, no, no, I am not doing that.

— Bob, please. Help us decide what to wear.

— OK.

— Which skirt do you like?

— The red one.

— Great. That’s not so hard, is it? Which shoes look better?

— Those.

— Which sweater do you prefer?

— I like the purple one.

— Bob, you like Marie’s clothes more than mine.

— No, I don’t. That’s not true.

— Then which dress do you prefer?

— That one.

— This is Marie’s dress, too! What’s wrong with my clothes?

— Nothing!  Nothing! I like your clothes. I like Marie’s clothes. I like everything.  I like all dresses, and all sweaters, and all skirts? and all shoes.

— Who asked you anyway?

— You did.

****************************************************************************

25.17 — 27.04

— So, what are you going to wear to the party tomorrow night?

— A T-shirt and jeans.

— A T-shirt and jeans? No way. You have to wear something nicer.

— I don’t have anything nicer.

— You do now.

— All that’s for me?

— What do you think of these?

— Do you have anything looser? … Too wide / wild for me. Anything else?

— Here you go.

— I don’t know. Those look pretty warm. Something cooler would be good.

— Why don’t we look at shirts?

— Not bad. But it’s pretty conservative, isn’t it?

— I love this one.

— That doesn’t look very comfortable.

— Try this.

— That looks a little cheap. Do you have anything more expensive?

— That’s it. I’m taking it all back to the store.

— But what am I wearing tomorrow?

— Just wear a T-shirt and jeans.

*************************************************************************

27.07 — 28.38

— Hello, Mr. Rashid!

— Hi, how are you?

— Fine, thank you.

— How was your vacation?

— It was wonderful.

— I am so happy to hear that. Was you flight OK?

— No, pretty bad, actually. It was so bumpy. It was very scary.

— That’s too bad. Did you have nice weather after your arrived?

— No, the weather was terrible. Very rainy. I actually never saw the sun.

— That’s awful! So what did you do?

— I stayed inside the hotel.

— Was the hotel room nice?

—  The room was fine, but it was right next to the cafe, and the music was very loud. I didn’t sleep much.

— I’ll bet the food was great.

— No, it was too salty for me, and the waiters were very unfriendly.

— Did you go shopping at all?

— A little bit — until someone stole my wallet. After that I stayed in the hotel and read a book.

—  Was the flight home OK?

— Actually, they canceled my flight. I had to stay for two more days.

— That’s terrible! But, Mr. Rashid, you said that your vacation was wonderful.

— Yes, I did. And it was wonderful. I met a very nice person — a woman actually. Her name is Basma. She’s from Lebanon, just like me, but she lives here. I’m seeing her tonight. So, yes, it was a wonderful vacation.

— That’s great, Mr. Rashid.

***********************************************************************

28.40 — 30.20

— Mr. Rashid! Welcome back. Come, tell me about your vacation.

—  What a terrible vacation Mr. Rashid had.

— Oh. You know, on my vacation last year someone stole my car. That was a horrible vacation.

—  I went on cruise and there was an outbreak illness. I was in my room for a week .There was a really bad vaction.

—  I went to Disney World and someone stole my map.

— That’s you worst vacation?

—  It took ten minutes to get another map.

—  All right. What was your favourite vacation?

—  I spent two weeks in the Caribbean last year, diving, snorkeling, and swimming with dolphins. It was amazing.

— I went to China a few years ago. It was incredible. The people there were so friendly, and everyone wanted to practice their English with me.

— I went to the beach and ate shrimp.

— That’s your best vacation?

— I really like shrimp.

— Bob, you need to go on more exciting vacations.

— I don’t like exciting vacations. In fact, I don’t like to travel very much.

— Then why do you work in a travel agency?

— It’s across the street from my appartment, so I don’t have to travel far to go to work.

*************************************************************************

30.22 — 32.06

—  So, Mrs. Beatty, we should talk about your safari trip to Botswana.

— I am so excited! My first time in Africa!

— You’re going to be flying to Johannesburg, South Africa. Would you like a window or an aisle?

— A window. I want to see everything!

— In Johannessurg you should take a taxi or a limo to your hotel. The next day you could fly or you could take a train to Francistown in Botswana.

— Is it an express train?

— Yes.

— I’ll take the train. I’d like to see the country.

— Great. Then after you see Francistown, you can take a small plane or a bus to the Okavanga Delta.

— How small is the airplane?

— It’s pretty small.

— I’ll take the bus. Is it an express bus?

— I think so. When you get to Gumare, you are going to be taking a boat to your hotel.

— A boat?

— The hotel is on an island. When you get to the island, a man with a donkey can take your luggage to the hotel.

— A donkey?

— There are no cars on the island.

— Is it an express donkey?

— I think it’s probably a local donkey. Of course, if you don’t want the donkey, you could take a small plane  — it goes straight to the hotel.

— I think I should take the donkey. Donkey never have mechanical problems, right?

— Right.
