Alexis: Right. I think this is authentic Indian curry.

Casper: The naan is excellent too.

Alexis: Look over there. There’s a painting of the Taj Mahal on the wall.

Casper: Nice. I’d like to go there someday.

Alexis: Uh, Casper, you have a big stain on your shirt. You spilled some of your curry.

Casper: Oh, no! I just had this shirt cleaned.

Alexis: Here, put some water on your napkin.

Arnold: Terrific! I always have a great time in Japan.

Tina: Did you have a nice flight?

Arnold: Not bad, but I’m a bit tired. I sat next to a woman who was going to be on the “Barry King Show.”

Tina: Oh, really? Who was she?

Arnold: Ellie Lansing, the astronomer. She talked on and on about space.

Tina: She must have really liked you, then.

Arnold: Yes, I saw her looking at me as soon as I got on the plane.

Yuriko: Very funny, Mr. Morikawa. No, I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by.

Mr. Morikawa: You look more relaxed.

Yuriko: Do I?

Mr. Morikawa: Yes.

Yuriko: Well, I have less stress. Say, where is Felicia?

Mr. Morikawa: She went to Singapore on business. She’ll be back on Friday.

Yuriko: Oh, that’s too bad. I wanted to see her. I miss her.

Mr. Morikawa: We all miss you, Yuriko. If you want to come back, you’re welcome.

Yuriko: Thanks.

Kelly: I’d be happy since my parents are in San Diego. What about your job?

Takuma: I’ll look for a job there.

Kelly: But you have a good job in Japan already.

Takuma: I know, but it’s been my dream to live abroad.

Kelly: Well, our future depends on your decision.

Takuma: I know somebody who runs a Japanese restaurant in San Diego. I could work there.

Kelly: Is it enough to live on?

Takuma: I’m not sure, but it’s a start.
