Cynthia: Yes, I imagine it’s different from actually playing on stage.

Bill: Absolutely. I notice lots of things about our performances. This one was an outdoor concert in Denver.

Cynthia: I love Denver. It’s such a beautiful city.

Bill: It is. Oh, look at this part. It started to rain when we were about to sing our last song.

Cynthia: Did that bother you?

Bill: No, it was refreshing.

Yayoi: Speaking. Who is this, please?

Arnold: This is Arnold Sylvester. I’m in your lobby.

Yayoi: Mr. Sylvester! Please wait just a moment. I’ll be right there!

Arnold: No hurry.

Yayoi: Mr. Sylvester, what are you doing here?

Arnold: Remember in July I told you I’d be back. Well, I couldn’t come back since I had to fly to Germany the next day.

Yayoi: I understand.

Arnold: Now, you want my autograph, right?

Yayoi: Absolutely. Could you please sign here in my notebook?

Arnold: Sure.

Gary: The one of us at Cafe Italia?

Helen: Yes, I was surprised. You actually get along with her?

Gary: Sure. Don’t you?

Helen: Not really. She has rather extreme opinions.

Gary: They don’t bother me. Anyway, we’re going out this weekend.

Helen: Really? What are you going to do?

Gary: I might go to karaoke with her. She likes singing songs from Broadway musicals.

Helen: Interesting.

Yoshi: Now I’m a digital solutions manager. Sorry, what’s your name again?

Amanda: Amanda. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve lost a lot of weight.

Yoshi: Thank you, Amanda. I work out at the gym every other day.

Amanda: Oh, really? Which gym?

Yoshi: Constant Fitness. My trainer is really tough.

Amanda: Is she a woman named Bobbie?

Yoshi: Yes!

Amanda: I go to the same gym!
