Jeannie: He said he wanted to spend more time with humans, especially boys.

Dr. Stein: Oh? I made Frankie curious.

Jeannie: He said he needed friends other than me.

Dr.Stein: Don’t worry, Jeannie. He still likes you.

Jeannie: Thanks. Oh, Dr. Frank N. Stein, do you remember this gazebo?

Dr. Stein: Yes, on that day it started to rain, and we both got wet.

Jeannie: I enjoyed watching the rain.

Dr. Stein: So did I, Jeannie. So did I.

Taeko: I need to go to the Hotel Belle Roza.

Driver: That’s the new hotel in San Mateo, right?

Taeko: Yes, I think so.

Driver: Can you fasten your seatbelt, please? You have to, or it’ll keep making that noise.

Taeko: Oh, sorry. By the way, can I pay in cash?

Driver: Yes, you can pay in cash, or you can use a credit card.

Taeko: Great. Wow, I love the deep blue sky.

Driver: Wonderful, isn’t it?

Safiya: Thanks, Chris. I wanted to change my image a bit.

Chris: It suits you. By the way, how was your lunch with Onishi-sensei yesterday?

Safiya: It was nice. We had sushi.

Chris: Was it good?

Safiya: It was, but surprisingly the restaurant ran out of pickled ginger. Then Onishi-sensei laughed and said, “No ginger? Shoga nai desu ne.”

Chris: He used that old joke again?

Safiya: Yeah. I like him, but I hate his sense of humor.

Mr. Emori: Congratulations!

Cindy: Thank you. It was such a relief. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be.

Mr. Emori: That’s good. Did you have to wait a long time?

Cindy: No. I didn’t face any long lines because I arrived at the immigration office early.

Mr.Emori: Can I see the card?

Cindy: Sure.

Mr. Emori: It’s a nice photo of you. Wait. Your birthday is tomorrow.

Cindy: Yes, it is.

Mr. Emori: So, let’s celebrate!
