Frankie: Wonderful? My visual sensors show them as maple leaves. Let’s take a close look at them.

Jeannie: Sure, why not?

Frankie: The patterns on the leaves are complex.

Jeannie: Frankie, can’t you just enjoy the colors?

Frankie: Enjoy? I do not understand.

Jeannie: Here, come close to me. Hold my hand and look at them with me. That’s how you enjoy them.

Frankie: Illogical.

Jeannie: Look at that couple over there. They seem very close, and they’re enjoying them.

Yuriko: Sure, Martin. Have a seat.

Martin: So, it’s been three months since you started working here. How’s everything going?

Yuriko: I like everybody, especially Mr. McAvoy. He’s easy to talk with.

Martin: Really? He’s very strict with me. He’s often hard to please.

Yuriko: Yes, I’ve noticed that. He raised his voice at you during the last meeting.

Martin: I guess I need to be more efficient.

Yuriko: You’re fine.

Bob: Wow! You painted this? Sally, you’ve made so much progress.

Sally: Thank you, Bob. Is there anything I can do to make it better?

Sally: Ok. I’m going to enter this in the city art contest.

Bob: That’s great, Sally. Make sure to sign the painting, You’re likely to win a prize.

Sally: Do you really think so?

Bob: Yes, I’m almost certain you will.
