メラニーとアイザックが２人で夕食をとっています。

Melanie: Why do you keep checking your phone? We’re having dinner together.

Isaac: I’m just checking my messages.

Melanie: My parents never let me use my phone at the dinner table.

Isaac: Really? Your parents are too strict. My parents don’t mind me using my phone at dinner.

Melanie: That’s unbelievable. My parents would get so mad. They always say dinner is a time to talk with each other as a family.

Isaac: They have a good point, but my friends always send me messages even during dinner time.

Melanie: Why don’t you just reply later?

Isaac: They expect me to reply quickly.

Melanie: I disagree with that attitude.

Kaya: Do you want to drop by a cafe somewhere before the recording?

Karl: I’d love to, but I’m afraid we don’t have time right now.
