俳句仲間のエモリさんとシンディがカフェで話しています。
Mr. Emori, what’s wrong? You’re not your usual smiling self.
Oh, I’m kind of disappointed in Mr. Suzuki, the haiku club president.
What happened?
He had organized a haiku reading for all the members. But he didn’t show up.
So, you didn’t have the gathering?
We had it, but everyone was looking forward to hearing his haiku. He’s a master.
Oh, well, I’m sure he had a good reason for not coming. Cheer up.
Thank you, Cindy.

Roxy, can you turn the music down a bit?
Oh, sorry, Grandpa. Was it too loud?
Just a little. Anyway, try to stay warm, Roxy. The temperatures are going down these days.
Don’t worry, Grandpa. I have my hanten coat from Japan.
It’s good that you brought that.
Mom suggested that I bring it, but I didn’t want to at first.
Why not? It’s stylish.
Yes, but I thought people might laugh at me here in England.
Not at all. Brits like being different, fashion-wise.
I know that now.
デスパレート・ラッツのデレクが、映画監督のドリスと付き合っているようです。
Cynthia, can I ask you something in private?
Sure, Bill, what’s up?
I saw Doris and Derek holding hands outside. Is she going out with Derek?
I don’t know, but eventually the truth will out.
Derek with Doris? He’s a wild rock and roller, and she’s a reserved film director.
And, Derek always stands out in a crowd.
That’s why it’s hard to imagine them as a couple.
Well, you know what they say. Opposites attract.

Aki? What on earth? What are you doing here?
Brendan! What a surprise! I’m visiting my cousin. She lives here in Naha. What are you doing here?
I’m here to investigate the area off the coast of Yonaguni.
I see. Strange timing! Hey, how about getting some lunch? Are you hungry?
Starving. Do you know a good place?
Sure. It’s right here. Let’s go in. Oh, you have to take off your shoes.
No problem.

Well, I was invited to Ellie’s birthday party. But she’s going out with my ex, so actually I don’t want to go.
