— Betty, fancy seeing you here. I didn't know you rode the subway.
— I don't usually. It's just that I'm fed up with driving and paying so much for gas, and the buses are crowded and unreliable. So I thought I'd give this a try.
— I know what you mean. I started taking the subway two years ago, and it's wonderful! From the Scott Street station, it's only a block and a half to our building. And going home, the 52nd Street stop is only two blocks from my apartment. When I was driving, I wasn't getting nearly as much exercise.
— Exactly! Plus, the subway's cheaper than gas in the long run. And the trains leave every 15 minutes, so if I miss one I don't have to wait long for another. So, did you say we should get off at Scott Street?

— Pardon me sir. I need to plug-in my laptop computer. Would you
mind if I used the outlet by your chair?
— Not at all, but I'm afraid it doesn't work. I tried it earlier.
— Oh, that's a problem. I guess we can't always count on the outlets. After all, this is a coffee shop, not an office. But it seems all the other outlets are being used.
— Why don't you ask at the counter? Maybe they have an extension cord, so you could plug into an outlet down the hall near the restrooms.

— I'm going to try a T-bone steak and a Caesar salad. Now, what type of wine do you fancy?

— Congratulations, Gino! Or should I say, "Vice President
Martenelli?"
— (chuckles) Not yet, Marie. It doesn't take effect until next month. I am excited about the new opportunity though. And a little scared too, to tell you the truth. It's more money, but also a LOT more responsibility. I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
— Sure you are. And you're going to do just great! After all, Ms. Robertson wouldn't have chosen you if she didn't think you were well-qualified. You've earned your new position, so relax. I'm proud of you!
— Thanks, Marie. Actually, I am going to relax for a while. I'm taking some vacation time and going to Mexico for a week before I start.

— Morning, Melissa. Where are you off to so early on a Saturday?
— There's a huge sale today at CostLess. Most items are at least 50 percent off. The store doesn't open until 9, but I need to get in line.
— Well, you'd better bring a book or a laptop with you; it's going to be a long wait. Those CostLess sales are always crazy. Good luck fighting the mob!
— Oh I don't mind. I have some knitting to keep me busy, and it's worth it to get half off a new TV. Have a good day!
