Hiroki: Just a minute. My mouth is full of toothpaste. OK, what’s up, Alana?

Alana: I have a request. Can you stop brushing your teeth over the kitchen sink?

Hiroki: Does it bother you?

Alana: Yes, it does. And other colleagues have been complaining about it too. People use this sink to wash their coffee mugs.

Hiroki: Where can I brush my teeth then?

Alana: How about using the men’s restroom?

Hiroki: OK. Sorry.

Yoshi: What? Nothing.

Nami: I saw you trying to hide something. Show me.

Yoshi: I’m not hiding anything.

Nami: Aha! I knew it! A macadamia nut chocolate chip cookie! So that explains it.

Yoshi: What?

Nami: You’ve been gaining weight even though I’ve been cooking healthy meals for you.

Yoshi: Come on, it’s just a little snack.

Nami: Do you know how many calories are in this?

Yoshi: It says only 500.

Nami: Only!?

Yoshi: Yes, I’m on a diet. I have to lose at least ten kilos.

Alana: You’ll get hungry later, though. I know you. Besides, you also need to exercise.

Yoshi: I know. My wife made me join a gym. I hate going there, though.

Alana: Why?

Yoshi: The trainer is very strict.

Alana: Are you afraid of him?

Yoshi: Her. No.

Alana: Then what’s made you cry?

Yoshi: I bit into a hot chili.

Hiroki: He went to the convenience store.

Alana: It’s after lunchtime! He’s not supposed to be taking long breaks all the time.

Hiroki: Why do you need him?

Alana: I got a call from a customer about one of our products. Only Yoshi can answer the question.

Hiroki: I’ll have him call the customer back, OK?

Alana: Great. Here’s the phone number. She sounded kind of angry.

Hiroki: I’ll make sure Yoshi calls her immediately.

Alana: Thank you.
