Bob: There are no mistakes in oil painting, Sally, just happy accidents.

Sally: “Happy accidents.” I like that. You’re so wise, Bob. How many years have you been painting?

Bob: Oh, my goodness. I’d say 40 years, at least. Time goes by fast.

Sally: It sure does. So, how can I fix my painting?

Bob: I would put a little log cabin by the lake there. Easy.

Sally: Can you show me how?

Bob: Sure.

Ms. Jetz: I am, but I need a break.

Mr. Smith: What are you working on?

Ms. Jetz: Oh, I have to finish this student survey rerport by 11 a.m. tomorrow.

Mr. Smith: A survey of students’ opinions?

Ms. Jetz: Exactly. I surveyed their feelings about classical music.

Mr. Smith: Interesting. By the way, I’m going to a classical concert.

Ms. Jetz: Are you going by yourself?

Mr. Smith: Yes, I am. They’re playing Schubert’s Ninth Symphony.

Ms. Jetz: That’s a great one.

Shiho: Yes, I read that a long time ago.

Doug: What a cheap-looking cover!

Shiho: You’re right, but you can’t judge a book by its cover. This is his most popular book by far.

Doug: How did you get interested in Peacock in the first place?

Shiho: My aunt Aki introduced me to his books. She met him once in Mexico.

Doug: Is she an archaeologist too?

Shiho: No, but she loves traveling,

Tukuma: Cancel? Why? We’ve already sent out the invitations.

Kelly: Well, we can send out letters saying we’re canceling it.

Takuma: But why? What’s the problem?

Kelly: I don’t think we should get married right now.

Takuma: That’s what we decided. We have to stand by our decision.

Kelly: But are you going to stand by me? Isn’t that more important?

Takuma: Of course it is.
